The Voice is and American singing competition based on The Voice of Holland. It s goal is to find new singing talent aged 15 years old and above from the blind audition before the start of each season. The blind audition is characterized by judges facing backward, only hearing the voice of the one auditioning. The winner of the show is determined by votes from the audience and purchases of the contestant s song on iTunes. Though the Voice shows no sign of being scripted, the fact remains it s a intense competition for a singing contract which is an unrealistic event for most people.
