Undeniably, one of the most popular television series in Thailand is The Voice. It is a reality television series that features four coaches looking for a talented new artist, who could become a global superstar. The show’s concept is indicated by its title: the coaches do not judge the artists by their looks, personalities, stage presence or dance routines, but only by their vocal ability. It is this aspect that differentiates The Voice Thailand from other reality television series such as Thailand’s got talent and The Star. The competitors are split into four teams, which are mentored by the coaches who in turn choose songs for their artists to perform. There is no specific age range and anyone can audition; if a coach likes what they hear, a button-press allows their chair to spin around and face the performer, signifying that they would like to mentor them. If more than one does so, then the artist selects a coach. However, if no coach turns around, then the artist is sent home. Currently, it moves to the forth season and the competition is more challenging among participants.
In order to be The Voice Thailand, there are four different stages to conquer: blind auditions, battle phase, knock outs and live shows.
SATGE 1: blind auditions
The first shown stage is the blind auditions, where they sing in front of the coaches. The coaches have their backs to the singer, and if they like what they hear, they can press their button to turn around and recruit them to their team. If more than one coach turns, the power shifts to the singer, who then decides which team they would like to be part of. Each coach must recruit 12 singers to their team in the blind auditions to progress on to the battle phase.
STAGE 2: battle phase
The second stage, Battle phase, is where two artists are mentored and then developed by their respective coach. The coaches of the team will dedicate themselves to developing their artists, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success in the music industry. Members of the teams perform duets and the coach choses who advances to the next stage.
STAGE 3: knock outs
The third stage of the competition is the Knockout stage. Artists perform a killer song of their choosing and the coaches each pick four members of their team to go through to the live shows, creating a final 16 for the public vote.
STAGE 4: live shows
In the live shows, artists perform in front of the coaches and audience. Each coach had four artists in their team to begin with and the artists went head-to-head to win public votes.
