The Voice by Arjun

The Voice (U.S)

Do you like singing? It doesn’t matter, you will love (let me say that again, LOVE) The Voice. It has comedy, suspense and excitement. I believe that The Voice is an inspiration not only to singers but to everyone. It’s pretty complicated so if you start to read the first chapter, there’s no turning back. So do you want to read my article? If not there’s the door (Technically you can read someone else’s article but still).

1)          What is the Voice

The voice is a reality show where singers from all around the world come together to participate in a tournament to see who’s best. This happens in four teams led by four coaches. The Voice is basically a last man standing but a little bit more complicated (Ok a lot more complicated).

In different seasons, different coaches come and go to coach teams. So far the coaches have been Adam Levine, CeeLo Green, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Pharrell Williams, Shakira, Gwen Stefani, Miley Cyrus, Usher, and Alicia Keys. There have been ten seasons and the eleventh is just starting.

2) The Schedule

There are five parts to The Voice. The Blind Auditions, The Battle rounds, The Knockouts, The Live Playoffs, and The Finale.

Blind Auditions- The Blind Audition is the stage were the singer sings a song of his/her choice and the coaches see if they want the sing in his/her team. If TWO coaches want one singer, the coaches convince the singer to pick him/her as the singer has the choice (note that the singer can only pick the coach that wants him/her in their team). One coach needs 12 singers in the team to complete it and cannot have more than 12 singers in his/her team

The Battle Rounds- Once the teams are complete each coach picks two singers from his/her team to sing a song TOGETHER. The coach picks the song and have a practice round with each pair. Then, they sing together on stage and the coach picks who sang better. stage and the coach picks who sang better. The losing singer can be another coach for his/her team, this is called a steal. Each coach has only four steals.

The Knockouts-The Knockouts are just like The Battle Rounds except a tiny bit different. So the coaches now have ten singers each and the coaches pair them up again. This time, the singers sing one song EACH and there are no steals

Live Playoffs-There are nine parts to The Live Playoffs. From top twelve to top four. First you decide the top twelve. Each coach is allowed to choose any singer from any team who got knocked out in the knockouts, this is comeback artist. He/she will perform with the five remaining singers. Now here’s the fun, people get to vote out two singers from each team. The coaches pick one between the four remaining singers, to go on with the eight voted singers. That makes twelve (if you don’t understand what I’ve written, three people per team x 4 teams = 12 people). The twelve singers remaining will sing one by one, and people vote the top ten singers. The two singers are now in something called an INSTANT vote. The two singers sing a song each and whoever gets more votes in a time limit of five minutes will get to go on with the show. The other one will be eliminated. Like this it becomes top eleven to top ten to top nine…. Up until top four.

The Finale-The top 4 singers sing multiple songs either by themselves, or they sing with someone else. They can sing with coaches, idols and even friends. But it’s also for the fans votes. In the end, whoever gets the highest number of votes WINS THE VOICE.

3) Inspirations to the voice
There have been great singers who have shown their talent on The Voice. So many have been inspired by the coaches, the singers and the coaches’ advisors.

For example, a lot of people in the world have what I like to call the no-stage noness, and what others like to call stage fright. On The Voice, you sing in front of approximately 30,000 people! This teaches not only the singer, but everyone never to be afraid.

4) Funny stuff

This reality show has suspense and excitement, but where’s the funny bit? Well here it is

The” Adam Blake Rivalry” has been going on since the beginning of the voice. They fight about every little thing like who’s tattoo is better! Crazy.

Throughout season ten, Christina Aguilera pulled out her phone and did her magic. What magic you ask? Why don’t you go and find out? Type Christina’s phone season ten (don’t take it as homework).

Please don’t rush on the homework because it’s due only next publishing. I believe the voice is not only an inspiration to singers but to everyone. Got to watch to agree with me. Well do you want to watch, do you? If not, there’s the door (I meant remote)
