I feel like the coaches are pushing the buttons way too early now, some of the people they have picked would never had made it through on channel 9. Do they have a team to fill? Are they going to have to miss out on the final singers even if they are good?

I thought they could get as many on their team as they want this season but then have to decide which to progress with.

Well that seems dumb and gives false hope

I agree. And whilst the marquee acts have been good, I don’t think any of them so far have lived up to the promoter hype.
There is no Australian Idol next year anymore.
Even without Idol there’s still AGT (possibly) for next year. So three talent/shiny-floor shows next year.
Really they should have The Voice Generations as the sole season for next year and a normal season for 2023. Two seasons is just overkill.
The Voice soars on Seven and 7plus
Biggest show in 2021, biggest season launch since 2015, audience up 24% on 2020
The unmissable new season of The Voice has become an instant hit on Seven, breaking digital and broadcast records in its first three nights.
Hitting the right notes with fans, The Voice is the most-watched entertainment program so far in 2021 in 25 to 54s and total people, with the first three episodes averaging 1.72 million overnight viewers nationally, including 1.19 million in the capital cities.
The spectacular launch episode was watched by 2.14 million Australians nationally, including time-shift viewing and over 226,000 on 7plus, giving the singing competition its biggest launch since 2015 and Seven its biggest entertainment show launch since 2016.
With the megastar line-up of coaches Keith Urban, Rita Ora, Guy Sebastian and Jessica Mauboy, the first episode also smashed records on 7plus to become the biggest entertainment show launch on the streaming service ever, and the #1 live streamed entertainment show launch in Australia in 2021.
The Voice is #1 in its timeslot across all key demographics and up 24% in total people nationally on the 2020 season and up 21% across the capital cities.
The first three episodes have also lifted Seven’s timeslot audience by an average of 121% in 25 to 54s and 111% in total people.
The Voice has been the #1 live and on-demand streamed show every night in Australia since launch, with the average 7plus audience for the first three episodes up 66% on the same episodes in 2020.
Seven’s Network Director of Programming, Angus Ross, said: “The incredible new season of The Voice on Seven is the best yet. We knew the global mega-hit format would captivate Australian audiences with its strongest ever line-up of superstar coaches and world-class artists, and we’re thrilled at the record audiences on television and 7plus. With more electrifying performances and spinetingling chair-turning moments to come, the new season will only get better.”
Great AR being used this year. So far I’ve seen coloured lines, music bars, a thunderstorm and the giant Voice V being projected above the artists on stage.
It was nice to have family and friends standing on the side of the stage to watch performances, compared with previous seasons. I also think the move was due to the smaller space at Carriageworks compared with the ITV studio at Moorebank in Sydney’s west. Now the contestants entered the stage from the rear.
The show has retained the male voiceover and graphics from last season, but why is it that Seven’s own voiceover used for the preview of the next episode?
I also notice the difference in picture quality. Perhaps it’s because of digital cameras being used, like for local dramas and reality shows like MasterChef?
Seriously Ch7, what are you doing? My goosebumps have goosebumps…and you go to a bloody ad break!! WTF!

Haha I thought the same thing. But knew they were going to do it lol
I didn’t and I thought they would’ve kept up the momentum. We knew from the adverts what was going to happen but some of us were teary during the song!

SUNDAY:
The Voice’s big question
Somewhere over the rainbow, dreams come true
Tonight on The Voice, tears and triumphs continued as more incredible voices saw the coaches competing to build blockbuster teams full of talent.
Everyday Aussies from all walks of life including a flight attendant and a hairdresser took the stage, ready for a chance to change their lives forever. Four artists inspired all four superstar coaches to turn their chairs, but the night belonged to lawnmower man Mick, who walked on stage to win the hearts of the coaches and, after a shock proposal, left with a new fiancé to boot.
Halimah Kyrgios also took to The Voice stage. Her brother may be a tennis star, but when Halimah served the coaches a Tina Arena classic, her audition was a clear ace.
Monday night on The Voice , the Blind Auditions continue, and with unlimited chair turns, the coaches continue to be thrilled by the talent on display. An audition like no other has all four coaches on their feet, while another sees the dreaded block strike again.
MONDAY:
The Voice climbs to new heights
Musical risks, magical moments and a memorable duet
The world’s biggest singing competition continued to surprise, shock and delight tonight on The Voice, as the unforgettable Blind Auditions made even more dreams come true.
The risk of performing an original song paid off for one hopeful singer after her extraordinary audition, inspired by the Black Lives Matter movement, shocked the coaches and caused Keith Urban to bust out his final block against Rita Ora.
One singing teacher’s incredible performance against overwhelming odds captivated everyone, inspiring Guy to jump on stage for an impromptu duet, while a powerhouse artist left the coaches spinning around after mixing Kylie Minogue with opera.
Please see the attached release for more information and links to the show-stopping performances.
Tuesday night on The Voice , which amazing artist has our coaches facing off? Plus, an emotional Jessica Mauboy gets the surprise of her life.

The performance by Julee-Anne Bell on Sunday is probably one of the best auditions I’ve heard in the series. Simply amazing.

Jess is just fantastic. In fact all the judges are brilliant this year. They all seem genuinely excited to be on the show.

There have been episodes (like the most recent one) when I think Jess is fantastic. Then there are episodes where I think she gets a little lost. Overall for her first talent show I think she has done an incredible job.

It probably has a lot to do with being nervous being a judge/coach on a show like this. I can imagine that she was really nervous in the earlier recording days and grew confident as they went along. They probably did a lot of cutting and pasting the segments from different days so it wasn’t all nerves in early episodes.

I think Jess has been fantastic. There’s clearly editing for certain judges on certain episodes, but they’ve always done that.

Just when you thought reality TV couldn’t get any more scripted, Guy Sebastian has revealed Channel 7 producers have their fingers all over what happens on The Voice too.
“I think the producers go into it with a fair bit of thought,” Sebastian told Yahoo! “For example, they’ll have some people that are pretty good, and then towards the end of the session when we’re a bit tired and we are desperate for a lift, they’ll put in this ‘wow’ singer.
Sebastian revealed the red books that he and fellow judges Keith Urban, Rita Ora and Jessica Mauboy hold contain instructions on how to approach each contestant.
In perhaps his biggest bombshell, Sebastian said the books do include notes on who the judges should turn their chairs around for.
“They don’t want the show to be all one-chair turns for some of the artists. You want the artist to feel like there are two coaches fighting over them, otherwise, how do you make a good segment out of that? It’s just literally, ‘oh Keith is the only one that turned, so you’re stuck with Keith’.
“So there are little things the producer will write in, stuff like, ‘If this is just a one-chair turn, maybe jump in’.”
Sebastian revealed about 80 per cent of contestants prompt at least one judge to turn their chair around.
