La Voz (Spanish forThe Voice) is a Spanish reality talent show broadcast onAntena 3. It premiered on 19 September 2012 and is part of the international syndicationThe Voice based on the original Dutch television programThe Voice of Holland, created by Dutch television producerJohn de Mol.[1][2]
Eleven completed seasons have aired since the show's inception in 2012, with the twelfth season to begin in 2025.Telecinco originally aired the series through to season 5 withAntena 3 continuing the broadcasting from season 6.
The original panel of coaches consisted ofDavid Bisbal,Rosario Flores,Malú, andMelendi. The coaching panel for the current 2025 features Malú,Pablo López,Mika, andSebastián Yatra. Other coaches from previous seasons wereAntonio Orozco,Alejandro Sanz,Laura Pausini,Manuel Carrasco,Juanes,Luis Fonsi,Paulina Rubio, andPablo Alborán.
The show consists of three phases: a blind audition, a battle phase, and live performance shows. Four judges also known as coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance (about one minute) to decide if he or she wants that performer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same performer (as happens frequently), the performer has the final choice of which coach's team to join.
After the coaches fill each respective slots in their team the batch of singers in the team is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have two of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together on a stage that looks like a battle ring, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of individual "battles" into the first live round.
Within that first live round, the surviving four acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with public votes determining one of two acts from each team that will advance to the final eight, while the coach chooses which of the remaining three acts comprises the other performer remaining on the team.
In the final phase, the remaining contestants compete against each other in live broadcasts. The television audience and the coaches have equal say 50/50 in deciding who moves on to the final 4 phase. With one team member remaining for each coach, the (final 4) contestants compete against each other in the finale with the outcome decided solely by public vote.
Mediaset Spain acquired the rights of the franchise back in 2011 after the success of the US counterpart. Initially it was expected to air onCuatro, but in November 2011 Mediaset confirmed the show would premiere on the group’s main channel instead in spring 2012.[3][4][5] Later, in February 2012 the air date was moved to fall 2012 andJesús Vázquez, who had previous experience presenting talent shows likePopstars andOperación Triunfo, was confirmed as host.[6] The names of the four coaches were confirmed by February 2012:David Bisbal,Malú,Rosario Flores andMelendi.[7] Filming for the blind auditions stage of the competition began on 21 August 2012.[8] On 29 August 2012 it was made known that Tania Llasera would serve as thesocial networking correspondent.[9] The premiere, scheduled for 19 September 2012, was preceded two days before by a preview that aired simultaneously on all channels of theMediaset Spain group.[10]
