The season finale aired on December 26, 2011.[5] It immediately proved to be a hit for ProTV and the network renewed the show for a second season.

Overview

The series consists of three phases: a blind audition (audiție pe nevăzute), a battle phase (confruntări) and live performance shows (spectacole live). Four coaches, all famous musicians, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each coach has the length of the auditioner's performance (about two minutes) to decide if they want that singer on their team; if two or more coaches want the same singer, then the singer gets to choose their coach.

Contestant auditions were held on June 26 and 27, 2011, at Hotel Crown Plaza Bucharest.[6] Contestants were also allowed to submit online applications.[7]

The battles

After the blind auditions, each coach had twelve contestants for the battle rounds that aired from November 1 to November 15, 2011.[13][14] Coaches began narrowing down the playing field by training the contestants with the help of "trusted advisors". Each episode featured seven or eight battles consisting of pairings from within each team, and each battle concluding with the respective coach eliminating one of the two contestants.

The trusted advisors for these episodes are: Monica Anghel working with Horia Brenciu, Dana Dorian working with Loredana Groza, Alex Velea working with Smiley and Randi working with Marius Moga

The sing-off

At the end of the battle rounds, each coach advanced four contestants from their team to the live shows, leaving the other two to duel for the fifth and last spot, in an extra round called "the sing-off" (cântecul decisiv). The contestants sang their blind audition songs again and the coaches chose one contestant each.

Controversies

Lavinia Vâlcan, a contestant in Team Smiley, withdrew from the contest before the battle round, as she considered that the show didn't allow her to express herself as an artist. Vâlcan claimed that, for the battle round, she had been forced to choose between two songs that did not suit her. The artist stated that the producers were uninterested in receiving a third proposal from her.[28][29]
