History

In March 2014, ProTV announced their intention to turn season 4 into a children's competition, according to The Voice Kids' format, but they changed their minds a month later and decided to have a competition for people ages 16 and up, as in previous years.[2]

In early 2016 it was announced that Pro TV had ordered The Voice Kids, a junior version of Vocea României.

Format

One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Three coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner. There are four phases to the competition:

  • Stage 1: Blind Auditions
  • Stage 2: Battle Rounds
  • Stage 3: Semi-Final
  • Stage 4: Live Final

Brașov

Cities where the pre-selections were held.

Blind Auditions

Three judges/coaches, all famous musicians, will choose teams of 9 contestants each through a four-episode-long blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditionee's performance to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer then the singer gets to choose which coach they want to work with.

Battle Rounds

In the "Battle Rounds," each coach groups three of his or her team members to perform together, then chooses one to advance in the competition.

Semi-Final

In the Semi-final three artists within a team sing individual performances in succession. At the conclusion of the performances, coaches then decided out of the three artists who won.

Live Final

The final (the winner round) will be decided upon by the public vote.

gollark: It says> One of the goals of early computer scientists was to create a chess-playing machine. In 1997, Deep Blue became the first computer to beat the reigning World Champion in a match when it defeated Garry Kasparov. Today's chess engines are significantly stronger than even the best human players, and have deeply influenced the development of chess theory. so it seems like a *good* blind guess.
gollark: And the model will just blindly guess if it has to.
