The Voice (franchise)

The Voice is an Australian singing competition television series broadcast on Nine, based on the original The Voice of Holland. The show is hosted by Sonia Kruger, who debuted as host during the fifth season, following the departure of Darren McMullen.

Format

The show is part of the television franchise The Voice and is structured as three phases: blind auditions, battle rounds and live performance shows.[1] The winner receives a recording contract with Universal Music.[2]

Blind auditions

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.

Battle rounds and Showdowns

Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its coach. In the second stage, called the Battle Round, coaches pit two of their acts to battle against each other in a duet arrangement, after which the coach chooses which act will advance into the next knockout phase, the Super Battle round. Once the coach has made a choice, the other coaches have an opportunity to use one of only two "saves" each to take the other act through to Super Battle round.

In this round, each of the remaining 32 acts performs a solo on stage to compete with three others for a place in the Live Round. The coach can choose only one from each of these performances to progress to the final eight and the Live Round.

Live shows

In the final phase, the remaining contestants (Final 8) competed against each other. The audience and coaches had equal say in deciding who moved on to the final 4 phase. With one team member remaining for each coach, the (final 4) contestants competed in the finale with the outcome decided by public vote.

Production

Coaches (series 1): Seal, Keith Urban, Delta Goodrem, and Joel Madden.
Ricky Martin was announced as Urban's replacement for the second series.

In May 2011, The Daily Telegraph reported that the Nine Network would broadcast The Voice in late 2011.[3] However, two months later, it was reported that the show would instead air in early 2012, and that the Nine Network were in talks with signing at least one international artist (especially an American) to lead its panel of coaches on the show, which were rumoured to be Christina Aguilera, George Michael, Usher, Pink and Gwen Stefani.[2] In September 2011, the Herald Sun reported that the Nine Network were planning to sign Australia's Got Talent judge Dannii Minogue as one of the coaches.[4] Anthony Callea, Vanessa Amorosi and former Pussycat Dolls member Ashley Roberts all publicly expressed interest in coaching roles,[5][6] however Keith Urban, Delta Goodrem, Seal and Joel Madden were ultimately confirmed as the four coaches for the first season.[7] On signing the four coaches, Michael Healy, the Nine Network's Director of Television, said: "To secure such world-class coaches has been a coup for this show and the network. The mix of talent and unique format will, we truly believe, be a captivating experience for our viewers."[8]

Darren McMullen was announced as the host of the program in January 2012.[9][10] Additionally, Ricki-Lee Coulter (with Seal), Darren Hayes, (Goodrem), Megan Washington (Urban) and Benji Madden (with brother Joel) were signed to pair up with the coaches as mentors for their contestants during the "Battle Round".[11][12] On 10 May 2012, Faustina Agolley was announced as the show's social media correspondent during the live shows.[13]

Filming for the blind auditions stage of the competition began on 19 February 2012 at Fox Studios in Sydney,[8][14] with 121 artists featured in this phase of the selection process.[15] The first day of filming resulted in hundreds of audience members being turned away from the studio due to overbooking of the event by an external booking agent.[14] Filming for the battle rounds started in late March.[16] In response to the immediate ratings success of the blind auditions, the Nine Network renewed the series for a second season on 27 April 2012.[17]

With Urban accepting an offer to join the American Idol judging panel it was announced in September 2012 that he would not be returning as a coach for the second season.[18] Following an extensive search process by producers, and constant media speculation[19][20] on who would replace Urban, Ricky Martin was officially announced as the new coach in November 2012.[21] In response to joining the series, Martin paid tribute to Urban saying he was "humbled to be sitting in his chair".[21] Healy stated that Martin would bring "huge experience" and be the "perfect addition" to the coaching panel,[22] with Goodrem, Madden and Seal all publicly expressing excitement at the news via their Twitter accounts.[23]

The success of the first season led to the Nine Network increasing its programming run for the second season, with an extra ten hours of content to be broadcast and the season running for approximately three months instead of two.[21] For 2014 Goodrem left the panel to join The Voice Kids Australia, and Seal left to continue on his music career. Goodrem and Seal were in turn replaced by The Voice UK coaches Kylie Minogue and will.i.am. On 13 January 2015, it was announced that Goodrem would return to the panel, and new judges Jessie J and Benji Madden would join the series, replacing former judges Minogue and will.i.am.[24][25] On 22 February 2015, it was announced that Sonia Kruger would be joining the fourth season as a co-host with McMullen.[26] In 2015, Darren McMullen announced he was leaving The Voice, with Sonia Kruger to be a solo host in 2016.[27]

On 19 June 2016, it was announced that pop duo The Veronicas will briefly replace The Madden Brothers as coaches for the second live show on Sunday 19 June while the brothers are in the US on tour due to band commitments. The brothers are to due back on screen for the rest of the live shows. During an interview with NewsLitmited, the sisters stated " It's a very brutal industry to be in. We are very honest, very upfront and very real about the advise we give. We're not going to be sugar coating anything. There's not going to be anything contrived about our time on the show." Jessie J ruled out returning to the show for the 2017 show and stated "I've loved doing the show, I've done four seasons: two in the U.K., two in Sydney, but I just need to make another album."[28]

On 8 November 2016, it was announced that Goodrem would return for her fifth season as a coach, whilst original judge Seal, who departed the series following the second season, would return.[29] On 8 December 2016, it was announced that Boy George would become the third coach for the series' sixth season.[30] On 24 December 2016, it was announced that Kelly Rowland would become the fourth and final coach for the series' sixth season.[31]

On 11 October 2017, the series was renewed for a seventh season and it was announced that Goodrem, George and Rowland would all return.[32] On 14 December 2017, Nine announced Joe Jonas would replace Seal as the fourth judge for the seventh season.[33]

On 17 October 2018, the series was renewed for an eighth season and it was announced that Goodrem, George and Rowland would all return.[34] On 14 November 2018, Nine announced Guy Sebastian would replace Joe Jonas as the fourth judge for the eighth season.[35]
