As each artist performs, the coaches listen, and if they like what they hear enough, they can hit their red button to spin their chair around, and indicate their interest in having that artist on their team. Each chair is equipped with a screen on the back indicating the coach's name, while on the front of the chair is a small desk, with a large red button. At the bottom end of the stage are four large red chairs, facing away from the stage towards the audience beyond.

Here the contestants, known as artists, perform on a stage in a TV studio (located at BBC TV Centre in the first series, MediaCity:UK in Salford subsequently). The second, and first televised stage is the blind auditions. The judges begin with their back to the contestant. Unlike other talent shows however, where contestants who perhaps aren't cut out to be singers are put through to audition for the coaches to make for so-called good TV, only contestants who can hold a tune stand a chance of being put through. The judges, known as coaches, sit with their backs to each contestant as they audition, meaning the only thing they have to base their opinion on is the contestant's voice.Īs with a number of talent competitions, the first stage is not broadcast and sees the hopefuls audition before the producers in the hope of impressing them, and being put through to audition in front of the coaches. Originating in the Netherlands, this is a singing competition with a difference (or as it's known to the rest of us, a gimmick).
