The Voice Australia has a new look -- at least on the judging panel -- and a new teaser video, showing new judge Ricky Martin during blind auditions. Martin replaced Keith Urban for this second season of the series, joining Seal, Joell Madden, and Delta Goodrem as judges. (Urban joined the judging panel on American Idol.) The second season is expected to premier in April. 
Martin most recently played  Che Guevara in the musical Evita on Broadway. The show closed last month after Martin announced his departure.
 You can watch videos from last season at TheVoice.com.au.
