‘The Voice’ Rejoins the Reality Fray with Season 2 Preview

'The Voice' judges"American Idol" is, arguably, still the granddaddy of all reality singing shows, and "The X Factor" is now in full swing. But don't you dare count out NBC's "The Voice." Much to many pundits' surprise earlier this year, the show was a runaway hit, with a charismatic cast of mentors and a truly impressive array of diverse talent. Season 1's winner and runner-up, Javier Colon and Dia Frampton, are gearing up to release new music this month, and now the Season 2 "Voice" hype machine is underway, as NBC has just released its first exciting, chair-swiveling S2 teaser.

"The world will definitely be watching," declares judge Cee Lo Green...and NBC is certainly counting on that, since the network is going up against "Idol" Season 11 and boldly airing Season 2's first episode right after the Super Bowl.

And from the looks of this promo, it's game on.
