What is 'The Voice' about?

According to the official NBC website: The show's innovative format features four stages of competition: The first begins with the Blind Auditions, then the Battle Rounds, Knockouts and, finally, the Live Performance Shows... During the Blind Auditions, the decisions from the musician coaches are based solely on voice and not looks. The coaches hear the artists perform, but they don't get to see them, thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the artist's voice, he/she pushes a button to select the artist for his/her team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that he/she can face the artist he/she has selected. If more than one coach pushes his/her button, the power then shifts to the artists to choose which coach they want to work with. If no coach pushes his/her button, the artist is eliminated from the competition... Also returning this season is the "block," which adds another layer of excitement during the Blind Auditions. The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names. The block button prevents a coach from adding a new artist to their team. The coaches can only use their block buttons on one artist for the entire first round of the competition. When a coach hits the block button with the name of the other three coaches, the coach who hit it automatically turns around. The "blocked" coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button. The blocked coach's chair will still turn - instead of their lane lighting up with their name, it will say "BLOCKED." If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition.
