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

A shadow of the Voice US

First I hope this disgrace of a show does not make you think it is the same for the US version.

The first main problem is the judges of the UK voice Will.I.AM is a prob the most charismatic of the four, however the four Judges just don't click compared to the US who now have Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Shakira(new) and Usher(new). You have four Judges on the UK version who pretty much spur each other on to push a button, this majorly pisses me off, Why you don't choose a certain singer because he does not match up with your musical background yet is "talented" is stupid. Tom Jones pretty much says the same thing to every contestant "I want you to join my team", Danny does a cheap knock off of Blakes spurring on the crowd, Jessie J just complains and plays the girl card every time and Will.I.Am says one of his stupid "dope" phrases.

The Voice UK is just a cheap knock off of the US Voice.
