"I want to do it again. I would be defending. I kind of would love to stay but then there are external forces that are no longer in my control. There's my schedule, there's a call of Broadway and there's a call of other things. It was magical the first season because all of the stars aligned perfectly," said Salonga.[15] On January 15, 2014 interview by Push, Salonga confirmed her return as coach in the show. "The Voice is coming back. I mean first it's okay to announce it, I have not been given the go ahead yet to say anything yet but I am certainly coming back so my chair is going to turning again for people so I am excited," she said. Salonga also confirmed that there were rumors that apl.de.ap will not return to the show. She commented, "As for Season 2, I have no idea what the plans are for Apl if he is going to return, I hope he does because over the first season the four of us have developed a really nice rapport and banter and chemistry and it would be nice to pick up where we left off rather than start over but those things are not up to me. So I am only hoping that he returns for Season 2 if he doesn't we hope we find somebody who will be able to fit the chair and be able to keep up with us because the three of us are on, it is so on, it is just the trash talking begins."[4] It was noted that near the end of the first season, apl.de.ap along with Bamboo Mañalac had expressed their intentions to return for the second season.[16] On March 20, 2014, the Sun Star Manila confirmed the return of all coaches for the second season.[17] On June 12, 2014 interview by MJ Filipe of ABS-CBN News, apl confirmed his return for the second season.[18]

Perspective
The Live Shows aired on January 24, 2015 at the Newport Performing Arts Theater,[22] a theater with a capacity of 1,500 at Resorts World Manila in Newport City, Pasay, Metro Manila. It was the second time that this stage of the competition was held there. Differentiating from the first season, the live shows were aired Saturdays and Sundays; the former was for the performance night, the latter for the results night.[141]
The voting system was similar to the semifinals of the previous season wherein the public voted for the artist they wanted to save per team. Voting commenced after all the artists had performed and closed the following night. The accumulated public votes from the public determined the first artist to advance from each team, and their respective coaches chose the second.[141]
For the third and fourth Live show weeks, a new voting format was formed. Each night was a performance and results night. Two teams had to perform per night. After each team had performed, the voting lines were opened and closed immediately after the commercial break. Before the night ended, one artist per team was eliminated. By the fifth week, the use of points was reinstated; half of which were from the public and half from the artist's coach.[142] Coaches were barred from giving equal points to their respective artists.[143]
The finale was on March 1, 2015.[22]

Controversies
Spoiler issue
Several users from Facebook and Twitter were blocked by the social management team of the show after several spoilers of The Battles' winners were posted online. This incident made Salonga furious and disappointed.[159]
Joniver Robles' departure from the show
After the last episode of the Knockouts that aired last January 19, Mañalac announced that Joniver Robles was replaced by Rita Martinez after the former decided to withdraw from the show for personal reasons. However, in a post of Robles via his Facebook account, he stressed that he never knew about his status until he saw the episode. Due to this, lots of speculation arose online regarding Robles' removal from the show.[160] Salonga was asked about the issue but decided to not comment. She further stated that she was not the proper person to be asked since it was not her team that was involved.[161]
