The Voice Fanmade: Season 2

***The Voice Fanmade: Season 2*** is the first season of the The Voice Fanmade longterm series, inspired by popular singing reality show, The Voice.

The second season of The Voice Fanmade doubled the amount of coaches, and brought a variety of talent. A surprise bloodbath, followed by a wildcard twist saw the final 7 give it their best, where early eliminated contestant, Au’Janae, was given a second chance at the win. The final 4 consisted of 4 amazing ladies fighting for the title. Wildcard, Au’Janae, and AzaLee from Team Ethan placed 4th and 3rd, respectively. Season long front-runners, Cass Lindor and Ivy Carswell became the final 2, with Cass from Team Survivor becoming the second TVF champion, and Ivy the runner-up.

## Overview

The 2nd season was by Ethan for the second season in a row. He invited returning coaches, Monophy, Regina, and Barb (TV47), in addition to 5 new coaches, Survivor, Jeremy, Kaito, MJ, and Ethan himself. The season premiered in the fall of 2016.

After Battles and Knockouts, the coaches narrowed to teams of 3 after the Playoffs. The Top 24 round included were duels, where half the cast participated in an Instant Save. From Top 20 to Top 8, they were normal instant eliminations. At Top 7, the two-part Wildcard Bloodbath occurred, which allowed for a returnee to re-enter the competition. This is the first 4 person finale, and one of only 2 all female final 4's (Season 22 being the second).

Shows were hosted by Ethan on IdolForums.
