The Voice is an NBC network reality TV singing competition (based on the show "The Voice of Holland") that was created by John de Mol. It first premiered on April 26, 2011 and as of 2017, it has aired for 11 seasons and 282 episodes.
The show's concept is to find new singing talent (solo or duets) contested by aspiring singers, age 15 or over, drawn from public auditions.
The winner is determined by television viewers voting by telephone, Internet, SMS text and iTunes Store purchases of the audio-recorded artists' vocal performances. They receive US$100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group for winning the competition
The series also employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach.
