The Voice: la plus belle voix (French: The Voice: the Most Beautiful Voice) is a reality
singing competition on TF1. It is France's version of The Voice format created by John de
Mol. The first episode was aired on 25 February 2012. It is the second time that the format
has been produced in French after the Belgian version The Voice Belgique.
One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four
coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents on their team and
occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches
cannot see, but only hear the auditioning contestant.

Format[edit]
The series consists of three phases: a blind audition, a battle phase, and live performance
shows. 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 one minute) 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.
Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second
stage, called the battle phase, coaches have two 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 four individual "battles" into the first live round. Within that
first live round, the surviving acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with a
combination of public and jury vote deciding who advances onto the next round. In the final
phase, the remaining contestants (top 8) compete against each other in live broadcasts.
The television audience and the coaches have equal say 50/50 in deciding who moves on
to the final 4 phase. With one team member remaining for each coach, the final 4
contestants compete against each other in the finale with the outcome decided solely by
public vote.
