The Voice
"The Voice" is a two-time Emmy Award winning, the number one series on NBC, featuring die
country's best unknown artists and four of the biggest names in music as coaches.
The show's innovative format features five stages of competition the first begins with the blind
auditions, followed by the battle rounds, the knockouts, the live playoffs and finally, the live
performance shows
During the blind auditions, the decisions from the musician coaches are based solely on ^oice and not
on looks. The coaches hear the artists perform, but they don't get to see them - Jianks to rotating
chairs If more than one coach pushes his/her button, the power then shifts to die artists to choose
which coach they want to work with. If no coach pushes his/her button, the artist is eliminated from the
competition
Once the teams are set, the battle is on
Coaches dedicate themselves to developing their teams of artists, giving them advice and sharing the
secrets of their success, along with help from their celebrity advisers. During the battle rounds, the
coaches pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front
of a studio audience. After the vocal battle, the coach must choose which of his/her singers will
advance to the next round of competition, while the losing artist is available to be stolen by another
coach. Each coach has two steals available during the battle rounds.
At the end of the battles, only the strongest members of each coach's roster remain and proceed to
the knockout rounds. Here, the artists are paired against a teammate once more, but this time, they
select their own songs to perform individually, while their direct competitor watches and waits. They
are competing for their coach's confidence and decision to take them to the live shows.
In the live playoff rounds, the Top 20 artists compete to secure a spot in the live shows. Artists perform
live, and Americans vote to save their two favorite artists from each team. The coaches then save one
remaining artist to complete their roster. The remaining contestants move on to the final phase of the
competition, the live shows.
In the final live performance phase of the competition, the Top 12 artists compete each week against
each other during a live broadcast. The television audience votes to save their favorite artists. In the
end, one is named "The Voice" and receives the grand prize of a recording contract.
