The Voice: Longer and Bigger Blind Auditions

The Voice executive producer, Mark Burnett announced at at press conference on Friday that the show’s post-Super Bowl premiere on February 5 will go straight to the blind auditions. Actually, that’s also how Season 1 began, but the big news is that instead of 8 contestants on each of the coaches’ teams, there will be 12 with more weeks of blind audition rounds.

Burnett says that’s what fans really responded to in season 1, and it’s the thing that sets The Voice apart from other competition reality shows like American Idol and X Factor.
