There are four coaches, who are all famous in the music industry. During the blind auditions these coaches will turn around in their chairs when they hear a performer they want in their team. If there are more coaches who want a performer, he or she gets to choose who they want as their coach. During the battles there will be two or three contestants from the same team up against eachother, performing the same song together. The coach then has to choose one of them to get through to the live shows.

User Reviews

no voice hear.

I don't get it. What's the difference? There are too many of these shows. With the same hosts and/or personalities. Same make up faces. Same obnoxious judges that think that they know everything.

They all seem the exact same:

Obnoxious judges that ruin the show to simple talents that think singing boring songs is a skill.

These shows are about shining cool lights on stage.

Cliché crowd that cheers for everything, and they all look the same on each talent like show.

The premise is all the same. Just have an extra judge that dresses like "she's" from the Addams Family.

Possibly this show is fake and or altered. It doesn't seem like a real show that cares for talent. Most of the judges don't even have talent either.

I don't know how anyone could watch these shows every week and feel healthy. I feel rotten when i see it recommended in my YouTube feed and i ahve to look at it.

Verdict: Read a book instead. You'll feel like you've accomplished something.
