Anything I Can Get My Hands On: Do You Have The Voice?

March 12, 2012- Do You Have The Voice?

Got Talent, American Idol, X Factor... man, you get a long list of those Singing Contests over your teletubes. This day and for the previous days, I always find myself got glued watching this hit reality singing show, The Voice.

Here's a quick review of the show:
The series consists of three phases: a blind audition, a battle phase, and live performance shows. Four judges/coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance (about one minute) to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer (as happens frequently), the singer has the final choice of coach.

Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have two of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of four individual "battles" into the first live round. Within that first live round, the surviving four acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with public votes determining one of two acts from each team that will advance to the final eight, while the coach chooses which of the remaining three acts comprises the other performer remaining on the team.

Having Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton in one show is a Power house. The show deserved to be a hit!
