The Voice is an International Talent Show (based on The Voice of Holland, a Dutch talent show) with a twist. Four coaches — who are, typically, incredibly popular musicians — are each competing to pick out the best singers, whom they will then train to compete for the overall title… but during the auditions, they are seated with their backs to the stage, forcing them to select solely based on... well, the voice. It is shown in multiple countries across the world.The full format of the show is as follows: | |

Hopeless Auditionees | |
| The Voice / int_13a984c | comment |
It's likely that there are Hopeless Auditionees who apply for The Voice; it's just, unlike The X Factor or American Idol, those auditions are not recorded for television broadcast. The singers who make it onto The Voice therefore would have already been approved by a different panel of non-celebrity judges off-screen. People who can't sing might be humiliated at these early stages, but said-humiliation won't be televised nationwide / worldwide. | |

Creator's Pet | |
| The Voice / int_197486d3 | comment |
The Voice fans and reviewers' reactions to Season 3's Cassadee Pope. We don't need to reexplain the Creator's Pet above, but it's been said that she turned from a dark horse competitor to a frontrunner after her "Over You" performance. When Amanda Brown and Trevin Hunte were eliminated before the finals, Pope's eventual victory was essentially guaranteed from there. This actually started in the top 6. Thanks to the iTunes multiplier rule all it took to know who was going home was seeing who was in the iTunes top 10. | |

Readings Are Off the Scale | |
| The Voice / int_2b3bd260 | comment |
Readings Are Off the Scale: When a young Latina singer who lost her job in the business performs in Season 3, the judges were unable to press the button. Why? Because the judges themselves deemed her as way too incredible and were fans of her singing talent. Fans. However, during the blind auditions the coaches try to be as positive as they can with their feedback so people don't feel that bad if they're not picked. So this was more likely just an example of blatant lies rather than actual praise. Sometimes the judges don't press the button simply because none of them are familiar with the genre of the singer (e.g. If you are a fantastic operatic singer, you probably won't be picked—you can be, but it's less likely—purely because none of the judges may know much about opera and would have no idea how to begin coaching you); conversely, in the British series at least, the judges have been reluctant to pick people who are too close to their own styles, especially if they feel the singer is specifically trying to get their attention by copying them (since the show is about finding your own voice). They might also not pick you if they already have singers with a similar style to you on their team, even if you are every bit as good (maybe even a bit better). On other occasions, they really do regret not turning, or didn't turn because the singer was more suited to one of the other coaches (who in the end, also did not turn for whatever reason). And they really do prefer to go for people who they think they can do something with, so a singer who not only has a great voice but has already mastered the art really might not get picked for that reason- there is nothing the judges can teach them, and if they can't challenge the singer or give them any direction its not going to be much fun for either of them. | |

Curb-Stomp Battle | |
| The Voice / int_3d699462 | comment |
Curb-Stomp Battle: Season Five was a good season to be Team Adam. Likewise for Team Blake in Season 4. In some battles and knockouts it's really easy to tell who is going to win either because one of the contestants is clearly better than the other or one of the contestants has a bad day. It should be noted though that sometimes the coaches pick their favorite regardless of whether they performed better than their opponent. | |

Delayed Reaction: One of the contestants auditioning for Season 2 was Tony Lucca, who was in The Mouseketeers with Christina Aguilera. She didn't recognize him until after he'd left the stage, at which point her jaw dropped and she got up out of her seat—much to the confusion of the other coaches—and ran backstage to greet him. Any grownup Mickey Mouse Club fans watching must have Squeed. | |

| The Voice / int_4d74ae51 | comment |
Blasé Boast: On the British show the judges are fond of name-dropping the famous singers they know, sometimes as a way of seducing an auditionee onto their team, sometimes just out of habit. It's become a Running Gag that Tom Jones always wins because he is a Long Runner who knows everybody- he has a particular tendency to reminisce about hanging out with Frank Sinatra or Elvis Presley in an As You Know manner. This was lampshaded in one episode of the British series' blind auditions, when Tom Jones cautioned about dropping too many names and started his advice with, "I was talking to Elvis, that would be Costello, not Presley, and I said, 'Elvis..." There has been more than one contestant who turns out to be related to a famous singer or actor, though it usually doesn't come up after they are introduced. And then, of course, was the season when big name voice-over artist Elizabeth Daily competed in the 5th season of the American series. When asked why she looked and sounded familiar to the coaches, she immediately pointed out that she was in Pee-wee's Big Adventure and Rugrats. This returned during Season 10 with Alisan Porter, better known as Curly Sue and Lil Punkin from Pee-wee's Playhouse. | |

Sassy Black Woman: In Season 3, one of the contestants brought so much sass that she let Blake sweat as he continued Digging Himself Deeper until he just told her to hit him and get it over with - she then walked over and hugged him, choosing him as her coach. Cee Lo commented afterward that he's had to deal with that his entire life as that's basically every woman he knows right there. | |

The Smurfette Principle: On the American, Australian, UK, Russian, German and Brazilian versions, with the judges being one girl and three guys. Was true for the first season of the Irish version, but the second season threw that out by adding Jamelia. Averted on the American version from US seasons 11-15, and again in season 17, with a balanced panel of two women and two men. Inverted by Kelly Clarkson's original team on US season 18: nine women and one man. | |

Bunny-Ears Lawyer | |
| The Voice / int_61b8f9e2 | comment |
Bunny-Ears Lawyer: In Season 4 of the American show, its revealed that, as a coach, Usher has some very... eccentric... ways to train his singers to be better. The best example might be when he gave singer Michelle Chamuel instructions to drop and do push ups, then jump up and start singing, as a means to increase her breath control. Also, he gave Chamuel the Cyndi Lauper classic "True Colors" (a song about never giving up and believing in yourself) for use in a Live Playoffs round performance, and during rehearsals instructed her to sing the song to herself in a mirror, as a way to get her to get her to open up to the audience more. It worked. Likewise, Blake Shelton taking his team of would-be country singers to a Karaoke Bar, where they sang everything but country, was a means to get them to realize that the most important part of being a performing musician is loving the music itself and having fun with it. This also worked. As a mentor and a coach Seal (one of the coaches on the Australian series) motivates his team by using a lot of pop-psychology slogans that might have come right off of the motivational posters you find in corporate meeting rooms. In the Russian version, the coach Pelageya behaves like she has swallowed an Energizer battery: laughing, jumping out of her chair when happy, running on the stage to hug the trainees she chose at Blind Audition… Nonetheless, she's a great coach and a very professional singer. | |

When he shows up for the final rehearsal, MacKenzie immediately puts the guitar strap around him, which prompts Cee Lo to ask him if it's like a pacifier to him. | |

My Greatest Failure | |
| The Voice / int_6ee10e0 | comment |
My Greatest Failure: Will.i.am. (one of the coaches for the UK series) called himself an idiot for not hitting his button during seventeen-year-old self-trained opera prodigy Shansel Husayin's note-perfect performance of "Nessum Dorma", and profusely apologized to her for not doing so, stating that he realized too late that she was an opportunity to "reinvent pop radio." As late as a mid-2013 interview, he's apparently still kicking himself in the butt for letting her slip through his fingers. This may be part of the reason why, during the second series blind audition by opera divas Barbara and Carla, Will turned his chair some four seconds into their audition. | |

Offer Void in Nebraska: The fifth season of the American Version introduced the Twitter Instant Save, in which the audience could save one of the bottom three from elimination by using Twitter to vote to save. Unfortunately, due to time zone issues, the show is only really live for people in the Eastern and Central Time Zones. So anyone living in the Mountain or Pacific Time Zones, as well as Alaska and Hawai'i, is SOL. | |

And to make matters worse, he performed a song that another contestant had already done earlier in the season. | |

Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: Seal came down hard on contestant Kiyomi Vella for having a "backup plan" in case her musical career didn't pan out (Vella was attending university to get an environmental science degree, something that would give her an income while she pursued her musical dreams). The scolding shamed Vella so much that she quit college to concentrate on music at his urging. And then she was eliminated from the competition. As of this writing, neither her musical career, nor her attempts to get back into college, have been all that successful. Good job, Seal. Really good job. | |

The Runner-Up Takes It All | |
| The Voice / int_808324e1 | comment |
The Runner-Up Takes It All: Team Christina's Chris Mann finished 4th on the second season but he's probably that season's biggest success story. He released a Christmas EP and a full album before any of the other finalists (both of which charted on Billboard), performed before the President and on the NBC Tree lighting event and even recorded two PBS specials. Folk/Rock duo Midas Whale were eliminated in the Season Four knockout round. Their self-released album Sugar House consistently outsells the album released by that season's winner, Danielle Bradbery. Melanie Martinez was a contestant, who, despite not winning the show, used her appearance to kick-start a successful music career and arguably has amassed quite a fanbase. Max Giesinger from the German version came in 4th in the first season and managed to land two top-ten hits two years later. Morgan Wallen was eliminated in the sixth season’s Playoffs but has since become a staple of country radio and by far that season’s most successful artist. Sadly subverted with Christina Grimmie, who in third place probably would have outranked Wallen had it not been for her assassination in 2016. Both of them did far better than winner Josh Kaufman, though. Even indie pop singer Madilyn Paige (who was also eliminated in the Playoffs) has a larger following today than Kaufman. Despite finishing fourth, season 8’s Koryn Hawthorne has become one of the biggest names in modern gospel music. | |

Drinking Game | |
| The Voice / int_899cc5c1 | comment |
Drinking Game: Courtesy of the Shields Brothers from Season 2. Drink every time: Someone cries. Shots of cleavage. Awkward Dancing. Coaches say they're going to steal before seeing a performance. Carson Daly says "Let the battle begin". Coaches make a steal. Take two if that person's opponent reacts favorably to the steal. Christina uses her fan. Blake points to himself. Someone makes a joke about Usher's shoes. Pharrell stands in his chair. Gwen gives someone a shirt (or a hat in season 12). Adam tells someone they could win. Take two if he says they sang his favorite song. Kelly gives someone a jersey. The playoffs result show ends with Adam agonizing over his coach save. | |

Take a Third Option | |
| The Voice / int_950bbfa7 | comment |
Take a Third Option: In Season 8 of The Voice of Holland, coach Anouk pulls this off in the Battle Rounds. She wasn't satisfied with the performance of both contestants in a battle, so she simply elected to take neither to the next round. This triggered multiple Flat "What" reactions from the audience and other coaches. | |

Singing Voice Dissonance | |
| The Voice / int_9c5ed17 | comment |
Singing Voice Dissonance: Season 11's Wé McDonald's speaking voice is very different from her singing voice. The coaches are surprised when she introduces herself, to say the very least. Similarly, when the Australian version's Karise Eden introduced herself, Joel told her she wasn't allowed to talk like that when she'd just brought the house down with a blues song. | |

My Greatest Second Chance | |
| The Voice / int_b4696332 | comment |
My Greatest Second Chance: Several times, a singer has auditioned, not made it onto the show, and then come back in a later season and made it. Jared Blake is an odd case. In Season 1, his first audition didn't lead to a coach turning around. However, when everyone had auditioned and they didn't have enough people to continue, he returned, nailed his Second Chance audition, and made it to the quarterfinals. Sam Alves auditioned for season 4 of the U.S. version, with no one turning for him. He later auditioned for the second season of the Brazil version, where he turned all four chairs and won the season. With Season 5's addition of steals to the Knockouts, coaches can steal back an artist they let go in the Battle rounds. During Series Two of The Voice UK, Jessica Steele auditioned singing "Don't You Want Me Baby", but her nerves turned her audition into a hot mess. She was off-tone and at one point got screechy, all because of her nerves. She returned for Series Three, singing "She Said". All four coaches turned for her this time. For Billy Gilman, contestant on season 11 of the US version, this trope is his admitted reason for competing; a country music star at the age of 11, Billy enjoyed a fair amount of success until he reached his teens and his voice changed, and he found his career stopped dead in its tracks. He auditioned in the hopes that the exposure of competing, and hopefully winning, would allow him a second career. Ultimately he came in second place. | |

Dull Surprise | |
| The Voice / int_c1b2c63f | comment |
Dull Surprise: Carson Daly. When Javier Colon won, Carson read the card with absolutely no emotion whatsoever. The Voice fans and reviewers' reactions to Season 3's Cassadee Pope. We don't need to reexplain the Creator's Pet above, but it's been said that she turned from a dark horse competitor to a frontrunner after her "Over You" performance. When Amanda Brown and Trevin Hunte were eliminated before the finals, Pope's eventual victory was essentially guaranteed from there. This actually started in the top 6. Thanks to the iTunes multiplier rule all it took to know who was going home was seeing who was in the iTunes top 10. | |

Vitriolic Best Buds | |
| The Voice / int_d7fc9fd0 | comment |
Vitriolic Best Buds: The four coaches seem to have this kind of relationship on stage. Especially Adam and Blake. Christina and Adam seem to go back and forth between this and actually hating each other, especially during Season 2 when they battled over Tony Lucca, with Christina going out of her way to bash him and Adam stepping up to defend him, which culminated in a really awkward, borderline ugly, confrontation during finals week after Tony's performance of Jay-Z's "99 Problems." Yikes. You could visibly see the discomfort and awkwardness on Carson, Blake, and CeeLo's faces as Adam and Christina got into their argument. Adam then momentarily defused the situation by revealing a "Team Xtina" t-shirt under his other shirt and assuring Christina "You know I love you." Of course, things got awkward again when Christina made an oblique insult towards Tony later on after Chris Mann's performance. | |

Product Placement | |
| The Voice / int_f511ea9b | comment |
Product Placement: In the American series, there's a Starbucks in the waiting room. Carson Daly once made a joke about it with one auditioner, who was a Starbucks barista as his day job. During the blind auditions, the various versions of the show itself will often go on location to profile this or that contestant. When they do this outside of the US, the lead in to these profiles will be various shots of the contestant in their home ground, interacting with their family, and so on. In the American version, it's shots of the Kia Sorrento that Carson Daly drives to the location. There are lots and lots of lovingly framed shots of the car. To the point that it's almost Car Porn. | |

Running Gag | |

Running Gag: "My boo" in US Season 7. Originally a pet name between Pharrell and Gwen, it caught Blake's attention and he kept trying to use it despite admitting that he has no idea what it actually means. The judges' (especially Adam's) continual frustration with how Blake always, always gets the country singers. | |
