About 110 participants are invited for the first phase of the television program, the so-called "blind auditions".
There, the candidates, accompanied by a live band, have to sing in front of an audience on a stage.
At first, the jury members can only hear but not see the singer because they are sitting in a swivel chair with their backs to the stage.
This is followed by a training session in which the coaches prepare their candidates for the second phase called "Battle Round".
After the battles each coach selects three artists for the live shows in a phase called "Sing-off" (2013) or "Knockout Round" (2014).
