The Voice Brasil


The Voice Brasil is a current Brazilian reality talent show which premiered on Rede Globo on September 23, 2012. Based on the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, the series was created by Dutch television producer John de Mol.
The original coaches for the first three seasons were Lulu Santos, Carlinhos Brown, Claudia Leitte and Daniel. Daniel departed after season three and was replaced by Michel Teló from season four onwards. Claudia Leitte last coached for season five, then became coach of The Voice Kids, swapping roles with Ivete Sangalo who became coach of the adult version from season six onwards. Carlinhos Brown didn't return for season 8 being replaced by Iza, leaving Lulu Santos as the only coach left from the inaugural season.

Format

The series is part of The Voice franchise and is based on a similar competition format in The Netherlands entitled The Voice of Holland. The winner is entitled to a R$ 500.000 prize and a recording contract with Universal Music Group.

Blind auditions

In The Blind Auditions, the four coaches form their team of artists whom they mentor through the remainder of the season. Each judge has the length of the auditionee's performance to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer then the singer gets to choose which coach they want to work with. Since season 7, a new twist called "Block" is featured, which allows one coach to block another coach from getting a contestant.

Battle rounds

In The Battles, each coach pairs two of his or her team members to perform together, then chooses one to advance. Coaches are given "steals", allowing each coach to select individuals who were eliminated during a battle round by another coach.

Live shows

In the final phase, the remaining contestants of each team will compete against each other in 4–7 weeks of live broadcasts. The television audience will help to decide who moves on. When one team member remains for each coach, these four contestants will compete against each other in the finale, with the most voted singer declared the season's winner.

Coaches' Battle

Introduced in season 5, in the Coaches' Battle, two contestants from two teams battle against each other and the public vote determines who will advance.

Remix

Introduced in season 5, the Remix round is a way to balance the teams after the Coaches' Battle, which works exactly like the Blind Auditions.
