“The Voice”: Three-night audition event to air Monday through Wednesday Sept. 10-12
“The Voice” is set to premiere with a three-night event, adding a new night on Wednesday, Sept. 12, airing from 7 to 8 p.m.
“The Voice” debuts from 7 to 9 p.m. Monday, Sept. 10; and then also airs from 7 to 8 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 11, according to a news release.
Details on the singing competition series, provided by NBC, are as follows:
“The Voice” returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the blockbuster vocal competition from the show’s third season. Celebrity musician coaches Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine and Oklahoma native Blake Shelton return along with Carson Daly as host and Christina Milian as Social Media Correspondent.
Monday night (September 10) will open with the Grammy Award-winning coaches performing “Start Me Up” together to show the new contestants just how it’s done. Then the blind auditions begin with the coaches in their chairs turned away from the singers, until the strength of a voice motivates the coaches to start pressing their buttons and turning their chairs around.
The show’s innovative format features four stages of competition: the blind audition, the battle round, the brand new knockouts and finally, the live performance shows.
During the blind auditions, the decisions from the musician coaches are based solely on voice and not on looks. The coaches hear the artists perform, but they don’t get to see them — thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist’s voice, he/she pushes a button to select the artist for his/her team. At this point, the coach’s chair will swivel so that he/she can face the artist he/she has selected. If more than one coach pushes their button, the power then shifts to the artist to choose which coach they want to work with. If no coach pushes their button, the artist is eliminated from the competition .
