The Voice of Germany is a German reality talent show created by John de Mol, based on the concept The Voice of Holland and it is part of an international series. It began airing on ProSieben and Sat.1 on November 24, 2011.[2]
There are five different stages to the show: producers' auditions, blind auditions, battle rounds, sign offs, and live shows. There have been eight winners to date: Ivy Quainoo, Nick Howard, Andreas Kümmert, Charley Ann Schmutzler, Jamie-Lee Kriewitz, Tay Schmedtmann, Natia Todua and Samuel Rösch.
The show was originally presented by Stefan Gödde. However, from 2012 onwards Thore Schölermann has presented the show and from 2015 together with Lena Gercke are hosting the show. The original coaches for the first two seasons were Nena, The BossHoss, Xavier Naidoo and Rea Garvey. Max Herre and Samu Haber were the new coaches on the third season. In season four were Stefanie Kloss and Michi & Smudo. Andreas Bourani came in season five. The new coach in season six was Yvonne Catterfeld. From season seven onwards Mark Forster is a coach. Michael Patrick Kelly was for one season as a coach, he was on the eighth. In the upcoming season Alice Merton and Sido are the new coaches. In the ninth season, Nico Santos was featured as an off-screen fifth coach for "Comeback Stage" contestants.
On 2018, The Voice of Germany was renewed for a ninth series to air in 2019. On April 5, 2013, premiered on Sat.1 the kids version of the show and have been played so far seven seasons. In 2019, The Voice Kids was renewed for a eighth series which will air in 2020.[3] On December 23, 2018, premiered on Sat.1 the seniors version of the show and have been played so far one season. The upcoming season of The Voice Senior will air in 2019.
Format
The series consists of three phases: a blind audition, a battle phase and live performance shows. 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.
Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have two of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of four individual "battles" into the first live round. Within that first live round, the surviving four acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with public votes determining one of two acts from each team that will advance to the final eight, while the coach chooses which of the remaining three acts comprises the other performer remaining on the team.
In the final phase, the remaining contestants (Final 32) compete against each other in live broadcasts. The television audience and the coaches have equal say 50/50 in deciding who moves on to the final 4 phase. With one team member remaining for each coach, the (final 4) contestants compete against each other in the finale with the outcome decided solely by public vote.
In Season 2, the battle format was extended into the live shows. The eight contestants in one team competed in battles until one finalist is left. The winner of these battle was selected by a 50%-mixture of a coach and televoting.
In Season 3, the live show battle format was abolished after it was criticized that popular contestants had to compete against each other. The number of live shows was reduced from six to four. The knockout round where contestants who succeeded from battle rounds compete for live shows was introduced in this season. It was first seen in the third season of The Voice US. The Cross-battle was also introduced in season 3 and was extended to season 4. In season 5, four contestants received the highest vote from the public advanced to the Live Finals regardless of what team they are from. But from the sixth season onwards, only one contestant from each team who received the highest vote out of their teams' top 3 was sent to the finals.
