Perspective
The Voice Kids is a reality television series that started from the Dutch television series with the same title, which was a spin-off of the Dutch series The Voice of Holland. The series features three coaches searching for a batch of talented new kids, who could become the Philippines' new child singing superstar. The coaches will judge a contestant termed by the show as "artist" with only their vocal talent without prejudice to their physical appearance.[2]
The show consists of five stages – producers' auditions, blind auditions, battles, sing-offs and live shows.[2]
- Producers' auditions – not shown on television. Different judges on auditions where the team will travel in and out of the country to find the best of the best to participate in the next set of auditions, "The Blind Auditions."
- Blind auditions – first televised stage where auditionees will be given a minimum of ninety seconds to sing. The coaches of the show will be sitting on a chair facing away from the auditionees. If a coach like what they hear and want to mentor the artist for the next stage, they will push a button on their chair that would turn the chair around to face the auditionees. When a coach turns for an artist, that artist will be included in their team. When more than one coach turns around, the choice to pick a who will be the mentor goes to the auditionees. If no coach turns their chair the auditionees' journey ends. The coaches have a certain number of artists in their team.[3] who will be advancing to the next round.[4][5][6]
- The Battles – coaches will build up their team for "The Sing-offs", and group their artists into groups of three. Per group, they will be given a single song to sing together. A singing showdown commences in the Battle stage where the contestant whom the coach deemed performed better will advance to the next round.[7] Steals were added in the fourth season, where coaches can steal one losing contestant from a different team.[8]
- The Sing-offs[3] – each coach will pick a certain number of artists (2 in the first two seasons and 3 in the next three seasons) in order to advance to the semi-finals.[7]
- Live shows – the semi-final round and the final round. Results are based from the public votes.[7]
