The fifth season of the American reality talent show The Voice premiered on September 23, 2013 on NBC. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton returned as coaches for their fifth season, while CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera returned after being replaced by Usher and Shakira in season 4. This was the final season to feature all four original coaches and Green's last season as a coach.
This is the first season to extend the use of steals in the knockout round, which was previously made available only in the Battle rounds; and the Instant Save during live shows, allowing Twitter's tweets from the viewers (based on the airing of East Coast/Pacific time zones) to save a contestant eligible from elimination. The iTunes multiplier bonus introduced on season 3 also returned but the multiplier was reduced to five, which was still applied till this day.
Carson Daly returned to host the show, but Christina Milian did not return as the social media correspondent and Daly assumed the roles for both.
Tessanne Chin was named the winner of the season as the first foreign artist to win the show, marking Adam Levine's second win as a coach.
