The Instant Save which first introduced last season returned with a new change which eligible artists performed an additional song. Knockout rounds did not appear this season, although a similar second Battle round took its place. This is the last of the four consecutive seasons to feature a final three, and would increase the finalists to four beginning on the next season.
Josh Kaufman was named the winner of the season, marking Usher's first win as a coach. Also, for the first time in the show's history, a stolen artist went on to win the entire season.
Coaches and hosts
editThe coaching panel once again saw a change as Adam Levine and Blake Shelton were rejoined by season 4 coaches Shakira and Usher. Christina Aguilera took another hiatus from the show and CeeLo Green departed at the end of season 5. Carson Daly returned as host.[2] It was reported that Christina Milian, who served as the social media correspondent in seasons two through four, was open to returning,[3] but ultimately did not.

With the replacement of the Knockout Round with the "Battles, Round 2", Coldplay frontman Chris Martin served as the sole advisor for all four teams.[8]

The Playoffs
editThe Playoffs began on April 8 and comprised episodes 16 to 18. The season six Playoffs were prerecorded and did not have the interactive viewer component, and therefore no subsequent results shows. The top twenty artists performed for the coaches; there was no public vote (hence no iTunes bonus or Instant Save) in the playoffs. Instead, each of the coaches selected two of their own artists to eliminate.

Live shows
editThe live shows is the final phase of the competition, consisting of five weekly shows and the season finale. For season six, the show expanded upon the "Instant Save" introduced in season five; once the three artists with the lowest vote totals are announced during the results show (except the Live Finale), each of those three artists sing an additional song before the Twitter voting window opens. Also, "Instant Save" vote totals are shown in a ticker bar onscreen during its five-minute voting window (including throughout the commercial break) to update viewers on each contestant's percentage of votes.

This was the latest season to feature a final three competing in the finale.
While Grimmie (#3 and #8) and Worthington (#6, #7 and #9) had singles peaked into the top 10 at the close of the voting window, however, a technical glitch in the iTunes system caused all of the iTunes votes cast being invalidated, but net results were neither affected by it.[30]
