After a phenomenal first season, the US adaptation of Dutch reality show “The Voice” returns on primetime screens this February with fresh meat for the musical grinder. Apart from having a more diverse group of contestants, producer Mark Burnett has added more rounds of blind auditions, and the coaches’ teams expanded to consist of 12 singers each.
