The Voice season 2 aired in 2012 on NBC with four coaches: Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, and CeeLo Green https://www.nbc.com/the-voice. The season featured blind auditions, battle rounds, and live shows where contestants were eliminated based on public votes and coach decisions. The winner was Jermaine Paul from Team Blake Shelton, while runner-up was Juliet Simms from Team CeeLo Green https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Voice_(American_TV_series).

Contestants were grouped into four teams based on coach preferences during blind auditions. Each team advanced through battle rounds, where coaches paired teammates to sing duets and chose one to move forward. Live shows introduced public voting, and results were determined by a combination of audience votes and coach saves. The season finale crowned Jermaine Paul as champion, marking Blake Shelton's second consecutive win on the show.
