The Blind Auditions

Four judges/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 ninety seconds) to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team. If two or more judges want the same singer (as happens frequently), the singer has the final choice of coach.

The Battles

In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have three of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of individual "battles" into the Sing-Off stage.

: – Battle Winner
: – Eliminated

The Sing-Off

Each coach brought his or her team after the "Battle" back to five acts, but there were only two candidates to the final. All five contestants will battle each other in "The Sing-Off", where they re-sung their audition song. The coaches then selected two of the five contestants to move to the live finals.
