The Voice

The Voice is a televised singing competition franchise created by John de Mol. The show features a unique format where contestants compete in blind auditions, with coaches (often celebrity musicians) selecting talented singers based solely on their vocal performances, without seeing them initially. Contestants then advance through various rounds, including battle rounds and live performances, all while being mentored and coached by their respective judges. The competition culminates in a final showdown where the audience votes to select the winner, who often receives a recording contract and other prizes. The Voice has versions in multiple countries and has gained popularity for its emphasis on vocal ability rather than appearance or prior fame.
