Glasat na Bulgaria (Bulgarian: Гласът на България) is a Bulgarian reality singing competition and local version of The Voice of Holland. Its first season was held in the summer of 2011 on bTV. One of the show's important premises is the singing talent's quality. Four coaches (popular performing artists) train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.
Format
[edit]The series consists of the following phases.
Blind auditions
[edit]In this stage, four coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, form a team of artists. Each coach has the length of the auditionee's performance to decide if they want that singer on their team. If more than one coach want the same singer, the singer decides which team they join.
In season 4, when the contestant fails to turn any chair, the contestant would leave the stage without having a conversation with the coaches.
Starting in season 6, a new element has been added: the block button. Three smaller buttons allow one coach to block any of the other three to prevent them from getting an artist. In season 7, when the blocked coach tried to turn around for the contestant, their chair did not turn around. In season 10, the super-block rule was applied - a coach can be blocked only after they turned around and the audition ended, then their chair will turn to the audience again.[1]
In season 11 the Super Pass was introduced. Each coach can press this Button once in the Blind Auditions and while the other coaches get blocked, the contestants goes starlight to The Battles.[2]
Final selection
[edit]From season 8 onwards, coaches have the freedom to select an unlimited number of contestants to form their respective teams. However, the number of contestants on the team will be finalized by cutting them down to a certain number (usually 12).
Battles
[edit]Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the "battles", coaches pair their team members, who battle against each other directly by singing the same song together.
The coach chooses which artist advances into the next round. Nevertheless, starting in season 3, a new power is added during this phase: the steal. Each coach is given, usually, two "steals" to save an artist from another team who lost their respective battle. In season 9, the non-stop steal was featured. Each artist that is stolen will sit in a designated seat, on the backstage, but if a coach decides to steal another one, the former will be eliminated and replaced by the latter. Season 10 introduced a new rule. Each coach can save both his artists and advance them both to the knockouts.
Super battles
[edit]The "super battles" round was implemented in season 4. The participants who remained after the battles are grouped into trios. Each artist had to sing, a song of their choice, in order to convince their respective coach to pick them for the live shows.
Knockouts
[edit]In season 6, the "knockouts" replaced the "super battles". In this round, three chairs are placed on the stage to be seated by contestants. After the artist performs a song of their choice, the coach will decide if the artist will be going forward to the next round, by giving them a chair, or if the artist will go home, by not giving them a chair. If the three chairs are filled and the coach wants to give a chair to another artist, they are sitting on the given chair and the person previously sitting on the third and last seat is eliminated. At the end of this round, three artists per team will be moved to the live shows.[3] In season 10 the format of the round was changed. Each coach will divide their 8 singers into 4 pairs. The performers from each pair will compete against each other by performing a song of their choice one after the other on stage. At the end, it's the coach who decides the contestant, continuing to the Live shows.
Live shows
[edit]In the live shows, the surviving acts from each team again perform and the public votes for their favorite, in order to advance to the next episode. Out of the artists that did not receive the most votes, the coach chooses which of them continue on the competition. In the finale, the outcome is solely decided by public vote.
In season eight, a new stage was introduced, the "live cross-battles" (which replaced the knockouts in the ninth season). An artist would be chosen by their coach to compete against an artist from another team. The selection of the artists and their order of appearance were all decided by their respective coaches, and all of them were done without the knowledge of the opposing coach. Therefore, the battle pairings were completely random, and would only be revealed when the coaches appeared with their selected artists on stage. The winner of each battle would be determined via public votes. Due to this round, it would not be guaranteed if a coach would have a remaining contestant to fight for in the final, which happened for the first time in the show with Lubo Kirov's team in the eighth season and then again in the tenth season with Ivan Lechev's team.
