'The Voice' to Add Spinning Chairs to Battle Rounds; New Judges for Spring Season

The Voice just finished its second season, and by the looks of things, some major changes are under way for NBC's hit show. Rickey.org previously reported that the executive producers were worried about the fate of the show following Jermaine Paul's win.

Now, the show is looking to make some tweaks to the format -- including adding the spinning chairs into the battle rounds. According to Deadline, show chairman Bob Greenblatt said in a conference call today, May 13, 2012, that “people love the spinning chairs, and we will put them into the battle  rounds this coming season."

He didn't give any more specifics about exactly how this would fit into the rounds. Also, according to The Hollywood Reporter, there may be a new slew of judges for 2013's spring season! Other tweaks include extending the blind auditions and getting to the live shows quicker. Greenblatt says on the current coaches: "Two commitments a year is more than they expected."

Expect the next season of The Voice to hit your TV screen this fall.

Who else is excited? Ready for more spinning chairs?
