'The Voice' series premiere recap

He has taught voice each of us valuable lesson tonight: Do not judge a show of his fierce advertising campaign. For weeks, NBC has angered dozens and dozens of spectators (and at least one famous person) by executing heinous spots obscuring screen for his new song contest below its regular programming. But if someone did not put the first episode of The Voice, because they were sick to death of these ads, they missed a series that can play only have breathed some life into the genre show to sing too saturated.

He did not, however, completely reinvented the wheel. At the top of the creation of two hours of voice, "said Carson Daly hosts the series to be" a singing contest like no other, because it puts voice capacity first. " Well ... not really. Here is a breakdown of how this works show excessively complex

1. The voice has four coaches celebrities - Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton, and Adam Levine, where their pictures were not burned in your brain stem still - that have each proposed eight singers to form a team. They choose their team members in the first round, the "blind auditions."

2. In this first round, each judge is placed in a giant, President Dr. Claw-esque which is opposed to a stadium. One by one, aspiring to go out and try to wow the coaches with their voice alone. These auditioners have been controlled by the producers of the votes, so none of them are untalented losers being charged only for our sick pleasure - ahem, Idol.

3. If a coach likes what he hears, he presses a magic button that turns his chair if he is the only judge who runs when the suction stops singing, the singer is automatically on the team .

4. But - and this is where it gets fun - if more than one coach presses its button, the singer who was competing for the choice of the coach that he or she wants to work with.

5. Once every coach has selected eight singers, he or she personally trains the members of this team to better singers. I imagine that this stage will include at least one assembly placed on an obstacle course.

6. Then comes the second round, in which each coach is responsible for cutting half of its team members. Here, teammates will compete against each other within what appears to be a Giant Rock 'Em Sock' Em Robots ring. At this stage, coaches will be allowed to watch the candidates as they exercise, so any "placing first vocal ability" kind of thing goes out the window.

7. Finally, in its last lap, The Voice will start to look a little more familiar. The 16 remaining singers will perform live. Viewers can vote for their favorites, finally select a grand prize winner.

8. The winner receives $ 100,000 and a contract with Universal Republic.
