Условие.

‘Golos’ (‘The Voice’) is a reality television singing contest. It is based on the reality singing show ‘The Voice of Holland’, which was originally created by the Dutch television producer, John de Mol. ‘The Voice of Holland’ started in September of 2010 and proved to be an instant success in the Netherlands. Many other countries have adapted the format. In Russia this reality talent show called ‘Golos’ premiered in October of 2012 on the Russia’s Channel One.

The format of ‘Golos’ differs from a traditional talent show. Many of the contestants, but not all of them, are professional vocalists and represent a broad range of musical genres. ‘Golos’ 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. They listen to the contestants in chairs facing opposite the stage to avoid seeing them. If a coach likes what they hear, they press a button to rotate their chairs to signify that they are interested in working with the contestant. If more than one coach presses their button, the contestant chooses the coach he or she wants to work with. Once the coaches have picked their team, they pit them against each other in the so-called ‘Battles’. The coaches select two of their own team members to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal duel the coach must choose only one to advance.

After the Battle Round, each coach has six contestants for the ‘Knockouts’. In ‘Knockouts’ a pair of singers from each team sing a song of their choice, back to back. Again the coach must choose only one to advance. The three winners for each coach advance to the live shows. Finally, each coach will have his/her best contestant left standing to compete in the finals, singing an original song. At this stage only the public vote determines which contestant is the winner who receives the grand prize of a recording contract.
