The Voice Season 3 Episodes
Season 3 Episode Guide
32 Episodes 2012 - 2012
"The Voice" opens its doors to more contestants hoping to become the next American singing sensation in Season 3. For this season, each of the judges walk out of the blind auditions with 16 talents in tow, as opposed to 12 in the previous season. The battle round shrinks each team to 10 contestants, and the new knockout round reduces this number further to five. The 20 contestants still standing after the knockout round move on to the live episodes. The third season introduces the contest's Steal feature, where judges can steal away a contestant previously sent home by their coach. Adam Levin, Blake Shelton, CeeLo Green, and Christina Aguilera resume their coaching and judging duties. Mary J. Blige, Michael Bublé, Rob Thomas, and Billie Joe Armstrong join them as advisors. Christina Milian once again acts as social media and backstage correspondent, while Carson Daly returns to host the show.
