The Voice of Albania is an Albanian television reality singing competition created by John de Mol and is part of The Voice franchise. It began airing on Top Channel on October 21, 2011 and took a pause of 5 years,to come back around 2025/2026![2]
Top Channel ended the show, because they began the second season of the Kids version, which started airing on January 19, 2018.[3]
Format
There are 6 stages to the competition:
Pre-auditions
The first stage of the show is not broadcast. The producers of the show audition all the artists that submitted their selves through the form on the website.
Blind auditions
The second phase is the "blind auditions". There, the contestant have to sing alone in front of live audiences. The 4 jury members are sitting in a swivel chair with their back to the stage and cannot see the candidates. During the performance, they can elect to support a candidate by pressing a buzzer, which will automatically turn their seat towards the stage. The candidate continues to the next round if he or she receives at least one of the four jury votes. The candidate chooses a coach for the further rounds from all jury members who supported him or her.
Battle Rounds
Before the battle round, the coaches prepare their candidates for a week of training. In the Battle Round, two candidates of the same coaching group sing a song in the duo. Only one of the two candidates is further selected by the respective coach. In some seasons, by pressing a button, other coaches can "steal" a contestant who was voted off by their own coach. As in the blind auditions, if more than one coach presses their button, the contestant chooses which coach they want. Each coach has a set number of steals.
Knockouts
- Seasons 3-5
As in the battle rounds, coaches put two of their own team members to compete against each other. This time, the contestants choose their own song to perform individually while the other watches and waits. After that, the coach chooses one to advance while the other is sent home. Some series include steals. Like in the battle round, the opposing coaches can steal a contestant who was voted off by their own coach by pressing their button. Similar to the blind auditions, if more than one coach presses their button, the contestant chooses which coach they want.
SuperBattles
- Season 6
During this round will advance four artists to the next stage of the competition, the Live Shows. In this round, in a format similar to The X Factor's Six-Seat Challenge, there will be four seats. After a contestant performs a song of his or her choice, he or she will sit in one of these seats; this will occur for the first four artists performing on a team. However, after these first contestants perform, the fate of the fifth artist will be decided based on whether his or her coach would like to switch out an artist already seated in favor of this performer. In the case of a switch-out, the artist that was switched out will be eliminated, and this performer will sit down. If the coach would instead like to keep the performers already seated and thus not give a seat to this performer, he or she will be immediately eliminated. After all artists have performed, those who end up seated will advance to the Live Shows.
Live shows
In the final performance phase of the competition, the top contestants from each team compete against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience vote to save one contestant on each team, leaving the coach to decide on live television who they want to save and who will not move on. In the next round, the public chooses between the two artists left on each team, and the coach also has a vote that weighs equally with the public vote.
Finally, each coach will have his/her best contestant left standing to compete in the finals, singing an original song. From these four, one will be named "The Voice"—and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract.
