La Voz (Spanish for The Voice) is a Mexican singing competition television series broadcast on TV Azteca. It is based on the format of The Voice originated in the Netherlands and part of the international franchise The Voice created by television producer John de Mol.[1] Mexico is the first Spanish-speaking country to adapt this format and the first among 6 globally. The show began its first season on September 11, 2011, under the production of Televisa executive producer Miguel Angel Fox. The series' first episode scored a rating of 28.2/47.1, surpassing Spanish-language TV series La Academia rating of 9.6/17.[2][3] The second season began on September 9, 2012 as scheduled, though was slightly delayed before the airing of its final episode due to the death of judge Jenni Rivera, who died in a plane crash in Iturbide, Nuevo León on December 9, 2012, dedicating an entire episode as a tribute to the late singer.[4] The last series produced by Televisa had Lele Pons as host and Maluma, Anitta, Carlos Rivera and Natalia Jiménez as jury.
In 2019, the license of The Voice format was acquired from Televisa to TV Azteca. A new edition has been announced for this season under a different title (La Voz instead of La Voz... México)[5] with the leadership of Jimena Pérez[6] and with Ricardo Montaner, Yahir, Belinda and Lupillo Rivera as Coaches.[7]
Program
The official website says of the program:
(The Voice... Mexico) is a television program that sets aside the appearance of any competitor, that matters is finding a new voice to the end the program. The Voice... Mexico tries to find candidates with real vocal skills. And for that, four major music stars, are responsible for finding and training the next great Voice of Mexico. "[8]
This program has already become a very famous, because unlike other programs so far, this is divided into three parts and the artist do not have to be locked up almost half a year with teachers in a school.[8]
Format
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.
First Phase – The Blind Auditions
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 (12 per team) is mentored and developed by its respective coach.
Second Phase – The Battle Rounds
In the second stage, called The Battle Rounds, 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 individual "Battles" into the first live round.
Third Phase – The Rescue
In the second season, a new stage was added, in which, coaches can save a member of their team that has been eliminated in the Round of Battles. In this new stage, each coach will select two eliminated contestants; they are assigned a different song and fight. In the end only one of them wins and continues onto the Live Shows.
Fourth Phase – The Live Performance Shows
Within the first live show, the surviving acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with public votes determining one of five acts from each team that will advance to the Final Eight, while the coach chooses which of the remaining three acts comprises the other performer remaining on the team.
In the final phase, the remaining contestants compete against each other in live broadcasts for the public's vote. 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 contestants compete against each other in the finale with the outcome decided solely by public vote.
La Voz Kids is the Mexican version of The Voice Kids. The first season of the Mexican version of La Voz Kids premiered on March 12, 2017 on the same channel as the adult version. The presenter of the first edition is Yuri[9] who was a coach of La Voz ... Mexico in its fourth and sixth season. The coaches were Maluma, Rosario and a double chair composed of Emmanuel and Mijares. When TV Azteca acquired the right of the show it was rumored that the second season of the Mexican kids version would premiere after the adult and senior version which ended in July. But on September 23, 2019 it was announced that Televisa would be producing the second season of La Voz Kids which premiered on October 20, 2019 with two former coaches of the adult version: Carlos Rivera & Lucero as well as with Melendi who coaches La Voz Kids in Spain. The Mexican version is also likely to be renewed for a third season.
