The Voice
"The Voice" is an American singing reality competition TV series that debuted on NBC in 2011. It is part of the global "The Voice" franchise, originating from the Dutch show "The Voice of Holland." The format aims to discover unsigned singing talent, including solo artists and duets, both professional and amateur, who compete through public auditions. Contestants must be at least thirteen years old to participate.
The show's winner is determined by television viewers voting through various methods, including telephone, internet, SMS text, and iTunes Store purchases of the artists' vocal performances. The prize for winning the competition includes $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group.
Over its 24 seasons, "The Voice" has seen a diverse range of winners, including Javier Colon, Jermaine Paul, Cassadee Pope, Danielle Bradbery, Tessanne Chin, Josh Kaufman, and many more. Notable contestants who didn't win but achieved success on the Billboard charts include Morgan Wallen, Melanie Martinez, and Christina Grimmie.
The show features a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams throughout the season. The coaches compete against each other to ensure that their act wins the competition, earning them the title of the winning coach. The original panel included Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton. For the upcoming 25th season, the panel will consist of John Legend, Chance the Rapper, Reba McEntire, and Dan + Shay.
Throughout its run, "The Voice" has had various other coaches, including Shakira, Usher, Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams, Miley Cyrus, Alicia Keys, Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Nick Jonas, Ariana Grande, Camila Cabello, and Niall Horan. Additionally, in some seasons, there have been off-screen coaches like Kelsea Ballerini and Bebe Rexha for "Comeback Stage" contestants, offering them guidance and mentorship.
