‘The Voice’ returns for its 14th season

When it comes to televised talent shows, specifically singing talent shows, “The Voice” does not follow the standard format. Between unique auditions and coaching instead of judging, “The Voice” has found its way to renewal for its 14th season.
“The Voice” is a widely popular singing competition that has amassed many viewers. The show provides music artists, young and old alike, the opportunity to receive a record deal at the conclusion of the season if they are crowned “The Voice.”
NBC’s “The Voice” is unique compared to other singing competition shows on television today, offering many interesting aspects that no other talent show on television can provide.
For instance, “The Voice” auditions competitors through Blind Auditions, where the four coaches of each season – this season’s coaches are Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys – face away from the contestant auditioning on a chair that turns.
If the coach hears something they like, the coach presses a button and turns to face the contestant. Then, if multiple coaches turn around, the coaches must try to persuade the contestant on why they should join that coach’s team.
The Blind Auditions gives artists a chance to show the coaches their raw vocal talent. This allows the coaches strictly to judge on pure talent, and not focus on appearances.
On top of the Blind Auditions, there is another characteristic to this show that makes it so fun to watch: the head-to-head battles.
Whether it be Team Adam, Team Blake, Team Alicia or Team Kelly, each coach has to pick two of their team members to battle in an intense sing-off. In the end, the coach must pick the best artist to advance to the next round.
However, if another team captain likes the singer that is being kicked off the opposing team, they have a chance to steal that artist for themselves. This adds a fun twist to this singing show that helps give the show a competitive edge.
Watching each artist struggle, go through changes and make it all the way to the season finale is what makes “The Voice” such an amazing display of talents. Season 14 of “The Voice” is in a position to be successful and filled with a lot of talent.
