Over 70 artists are set to take the stage to turn as many chairs as possible with the new season of The Voice, returning to Channel Seven and 7plus at 7:00 pm on Sunday, August 6.
Global star Jason Derulo is making his debut in the new season as he is joined by returning coaches UK superstar Rita Ora, singer-songwriter Guy Sebastian and singer and actress Jessica Mauboy.
With new coach Jason and a sense of rivalry in the air, The Voice coaches are set to find Australia’s next singing star and claim victory.
The Voice begins with the blind auditions, with host Sonia Kruger meeting artists before they take to the stage hoping to turn the superstar coaches’ iconic red chairs. The stakes are high with the coaches’ teams capped at 12 spots each.
If the artist gets more than one chair turn, the coaches must pitch to the artist, with the artist deciding which team to join.
The block button is returning to cause drama as each coach has the ultimate power to block a rival coach from getting an artist they turned a chair for.
Coaches get two blocks, and they can use them at any point during a Blind Audition, including in the middle of the rival coaches’ pitch. If a coach has been blocked, they are unable to pitch for that artist to be on their team.
After the Blinds are complete, artists face The Callbacks: a challenging round where teams will go from 12 to eight.
Artists are grouped in trios and tasked with singing individual songs based on a theme. From each trio, one artist earns a place in The Battles, one will exit the show, and the remaining artists face off in the world’s first Ultimate Callback.
The pressure intensifies in The Ultimate Callback as four artists from each team face off in pairs. The winning artist from each duel will earn their spot among their team’s top six contenders who advance to The Battles.
In the Battles rounds, artists perform the same song in a duet. One artist from each Battle will leave the show, leaving three Battle winners remaining. In a tough decision for each coach, one winner will receive a Semi-Final fast pass – sending them directly to the next stage – while the two remaining Battle winners face off in a Sing For Your Life.
The Semi-Final sees the top eight artists give their all to secure a spot in the Grand Finale.
The Voice Grand Finale will see the top four artists highlight their talent with a solo performance before joining their coaches in duets. At the end of the Grand Finale, Australia will decide which of the four finalists will be crowned The Voice 2023 champion.
The Voice returns to Channel Seven and 7plus at 7:00 pm on Sunday, August 6.
