# Vocea României season 2

The second season of the Romanian reality talent show Vocea României premiered on ProTV on September 25, 2012. It was hosted by Pavel Bartoș and Nicoleta Luciu, while Vlad Roșca was the social media correspondent. All four coaches returned for their second season.
The season expanded from the first season: each coach had fourteen artists on their team, rather than twelve as in the first season, resulting in 24 contestants qualifying for the live shows, as opposed to 20 the previous year. The blind auditions have also been extended from five to six episodes. The pre-selection phase was extended to more locations across Romania; they were held June 4 to June 29, 2012, in Bucharest, Iași, Constanța, Timișoara and Cluj-Napoca.
The season finale aired on December 26, 2012. Julie Mayaya, mentored by coach Horia Brenciu, was declared winner of the season. It was Brenciu's first victory as a coach.

## The battles

After the blind auditions, each coach had fourteen contestants for the battle rounds, taped October 15–17, 2012 at the MediaPro Studios, Buftea, and aired November 6–20, 2012. Coaches began narrowing down the playing field by training the contestants with the help of "trusted advisors". Each episode featured nine or ten battles consisting of pairings from within each team, and each battle concluding with the respective coach eliminating one of the two contestants.
The trusted advisors for these episodes are: Monica Anghel working with Horia Brenciu; Cristi Minculescu working with Loredana Groza; Șerban Cazan working with Smiley and Randi working with Marius Moga

## Controversies

Andreea Olariu, a contestant eliminated in episode 12, and her mother, Lucia, accused ProTV of unfairly trying to eliminate her and ruin her public image. The two claimed that Smiley, Andreea's coach in the contest, deliberately picked songs that would put her in a bad light. Lucia Olariu also claimed that Andreea had not been given enough time to rehearse and that Julie Mayaya's victory had been staged.
