The Voice Indonesia is an Indonesian reality television singing competition created by John de Mol. It premiered in February 10, 2013 on Indosiar.[1][2]
After the first season concluded, Indosiar dropped the show due to poor ratings. In 2016, RCTI won the rights to the show, and a second season went into production with Indonesian television producer Fabian Dharmawan at the helm after successful seasons with Indonesian Idol and X Factor Indonesia.[3] However, in June 2017, RCTI announced that they would not be continuing the show. In June 2018, it was announced that their sister channel GTV would revive the show for a third season.
The show has produced four winners to date: Billy Simpson, Mario G. Klau, Aldo Longa, and Vionita Veronika.
The programme was commissioned after a successful first series in the US, where the programme aired on NBC. The winners received cash prize, an all-new car unit, and a record deal with Universal Music Indonesia (season 1 through 3) and Hits Records (season 4).
History
The Voice Indonesia was created by John de Mol in the Netherlands and is based on the original Dutch series. de Mol then began to grow and expand the competition franchise of The Voice, and in 2013, the Indonesian version of the show was launched on Indosiar, the same channel as the highly successful Akademi Fantasi Indosiar. However, due to poor ratings, Indosiar dropped The Voice Indonesia after one season.
In 2016, once the eighth and final season of Indonesian Idol were completed (the vows were cancelled and rolled out again in the ninth season), it was announced that RCTI went into a "bidding war" with Global TV to obtain the rights of The Voice Indonesia, which they later won, and a second season went into production.
Format
The series consists of four phases:
The blind auditions
The battle round
The knockout round (Season 2)
Live performance shows
The Blind Auditions
Four judges/ coaches, all famous musicians, will choose teams of contestants through a 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. In the fourth season, a new twist called "Block" is featured, which allows one coach to block another coach from getting a contestant. The artist's journey on the show comes to an end if no coach selects him/she. The blind auditions end when each coach has a set number of contestants to work with. Coaches dedicate themselves to developing their singers mentally, musically and in some cases, physically, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success.
Battle round
Each team of singers will be mentored and developed by their coach. In the second stage, 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. A new element was added in season two; coaches were given two "steals", allowing each coach to select two individuals who were eliminated during a battle round by another coach.
Knockout round (Season 2)
As with the battle round, each team of singers will be mentored and developed by their coach. The Knockout Round determines which three artists from each team will advance to the final round of competition, the Live Shows. In this round, after an artist performs, he or she will sit in one of three seats above the stage. The first three artists performing from each team will sit down, but once the fourth artist performs, a coach has the choice of replacing the fourth artist with any artist sitting down or eliminating them immediately. Once all artists have performed, those who remain seated will advance to the Live Shows.
Live performance shows
In the final phase, the remaining contestants will compete against each other in live broadcasts. The television audience will help to decide who moves on. Once one team member remains for each coach, the contestants compete against each other in the finale.
The fourth season began in August 2019 with new coach. Young talented singer-songwriter, musician, and actress Isyana Sarasvati replaced Anggun and joined the panel with the remaining coaches.
