On 29 May 2011, it was announced in the The Daily Telegraph that the Nine Network would broadcast The Voice in late 2011.
However, two months later, they reported that the show will now air in early 2012, and that the Nine Network are in talks with signing at least one international artist (especially an American) to lead its panel of coaches on the show, which were rumoured to be Christina Aguilera, George Michael, Usher, Pink and Gwen Stefani.
On 17 September 2011, Herald Sun reported that the Nine Network are planning to sign Australia's Got Talent judge Dannii Minogue as one of the coaches on the show.
But in November 2011 Keith Urban, Delta Goodrem, Seal and Joel Madden have been confirmed as the four coaches on the show.
