Hi again! On this mesmerizing
day, I feel like I want to share you guys one of my favourite TV Shows which is
“The Voice”.
The Voice is an American
reality television singing competition broadcast on NBC. Based on the original
The Voice of Holland, the concept of the series is to find new singing talent
(solo or duets) contested by aspiring singers drawn from public auditions.
The Voice began airing on
April 26, 2011, as a spring TV season program. The series employs a panel of
four coaches who critique the artists' performances. Each coach guides their
teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also
compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the
winning coach.

Here’s come details that you
guys might want to know.
Selection process and Format
- Each season begins with the "Blind Auditions", where coaches form their team of artists whom they mentor through the remainder of the season. The coaches' chairs are faced towards the audience during artists' performances; those interested in an artist press their button, which turns their chair towards the artist and illuminates the bottom of the chair to read "I want you." At the conclusion of the performance, an artist either defaults to the only coach who turned around, or selects his or her coach if more than one coach expresses interest.
- In the "Battle Rounds", each coach pairs two of his or her team members to perform together, then chooses one to advance in the competition. In each season, coaches are assisted by celebrity mentors that are different each season. A new element was added in season three; coaches were given two "steals", allowing each coach to select two individuals who were eliminated during a battle round by another coach. The host give the announcer pairings.
- The Knockout Rounds were also introduced in season three. A pair of artists within a team are selected to sing individual performances in succession. They are not told until a few minutes prior to their performances who their partner is. The artists get to choose their own songs in this round, although they continue to get help and advice from their respective coaches. At the conclusion of the performances, coaches would decide which one of each pair gets to advance to the next round. Just like in the battle rounds, the coaches can steal one eliminated artist from another coach starting with season five. The coach give the announcer pairings.
- The "Battles, Round 2" were introduced to replace the Knockout Rounds in season six. Similar to the Knockout Rounds, each singer is paired randomly within their team. One celebrity key adviser also assists all four of the coaches and their teams in preparation of these rounds. Coaches give each Battle pairing a list of songs and each pair must agree on which song to sing. Each coach can still decide which of their singers in each pair will advance to the next round. The coaches are also allowed one steal. However, the Knockouts were brought back in season seven.
- In the final live performance phase of the competition, artists perform in weekly shows, where public voting narrows to a final group of artists and eventually declares a winner. The coaches have the power to save one artist that had not received the public's vote that week. As of season two, these artists would give a last chance performance to win their coach's save. However, in deciding who moves on to the final four phase, the television audience and the coaches have equal say 50/50. With one team member remaining for each coach, the contestants compete against each other in the finale where the outcome is decided solely by public vote. In the first two seasons, one contestant from each team would advance to the final four. Due to the possibility of having multiple potential winners on the same team, eliminations were adjusted in season three to eliminate contestants who earned the lowest number of votes, thus not guaranteeing a coach and a contestant in the (reduced) final three.

Personally, I love the one
who can perform which is (for you information) totally unlike the one who can
just sing! Performing includes vocal ability, facial expression and body
language that result in expressing the whole meaning of a specific song.
So, here are some of my
favourite highlights of the voice’s battle rounds. Enjoy the art of performing!
