The Voice Brasil is a current Brazilian reality talent show which premiered on Rede Globo on September 23, 2012. Based on the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, the series was created by Dutch television producer John de Mol. The original coaches for the first 3 seasons were Lulu Santos, Carlinhos Brown, Claudia Leitte and Daniel. Daniel departed after season 3 and was replaced by Michel Teló in season 4. It is part of The Voice television franchise.
The series is part of the The Voice franchise and is based on a similar competition format in The Netherlands entitled The Voice of Holland. The winner is entitled to a R$ 500.000 prize and a recording contract with Universal Music Group.
Four judges/coaches, all famous musicians, will choose teams of 12 contestants each through a four-episode-long blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditionee's performance to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer then the singer gets to choose which coach they want to work with.
Each team of singers will be mentored and developed by their coach. In the second stage, which lasts for three episodes, coaches will have two of their team members battle against each other by singing the same song, with the coach choosing which team member will advance to the next stage.
In the final phase, the nine remaining contestants of each team will compete against each other in five weeks of live broadcasts. The television audience will help to decide who moves on. When one team member remains for each coach, these four contestants will compete against each other in the finale, with the most voted singer declared the season's winner.
The original coaches were revealed in mid-2012 to be: Brazilian axé singer Claudia Leitte, pop rock singer-songwriter Lulu Santos, MPB singer-songwriter Carlinhos Brown and sertanejo singer, Daniel. All four coaches returned for the second and third seasons of the show. In 2015, it was announced that Daniel would not be returning to the show for its fourth season later in the year and Michel Teló was then named as his replacement. Despite rumours that Leitte and Teló could leave the show before the fifth season, it was later confirmed that Santos, Brown, Leitte and Teló would in fact all return for season 5.
