Coaches and hosts edit

The Voice Australia coaches: Seal, Keith Urban, Delta Goodrem, and Joel Madden.

On 29 May 2011, it was reported in The Daily Telegraph that the Nine Network would broadcast The Voice in late 2011.[2] However, two months later, they reported that the show would now air in early 2012, and that the Nine Network were in talks with signing at least one international artist (especially an American) to lead its panel of coaches on the show, which were rumoured to be Christina Aguilera, George Michael, Usher, Pink and Gwen Stefani.[3] In September 2011, the Herald Sun reported that the Nine Network were planning to sign Australia's Got Talent judge Dannii Minogue as one of the coaches.[4] Anthony Callea, Vanessa Amorosi and former Pussycat Dolls member Ashley Roberts all publicly expressed interest in coaching roles,[5][6] however Delta Goodrem, Keith Urban, Seal and Joel Madden were ultimately confirmed as the four coaches for the first season.[7]

Additionally, Ricki-Lee Coulter (with Seal), Darren Hayes (Goodrem), Megan Washington (Urban) and Benji Madden (with brother Joel) paired up with the coaches as mentors for their contestants.[8][9]

Darren McMullen was announced as the host of the program in January 2012.[10][11] Faustina Agolley was announced as the social media correspondent during the live shows in May 2012.[12]

Notes edit

  1. ^ Contestant Fatai Veamatahau's stage name was changed to 'Fatai V' from the Live Shows onwards.[20]
  2. ^ Contestant Carmen Smith was disqualified from the competition after appearing in a music video with singer Guy Sebastian for his song, "Gold". The Nine Network deemed the appearance as an "unfair advantage" over other contestants and it made a decision with the producers of the show to immediately disqualify her from the competition. This is the first disqualification of a contestant in the history of the show's format.[25]
