The Voice's format is the major gimmick, seeing (or rather not seeing) contestants sing their way through the Blind Auditions — in a bid to avoid stereotyping or prejudice on part of the celebrity coaches — for a chance to be on one of four teams. What follows are competition rounds, including the so-called Battle Rounds, Knockouts, Playoffs and Live Performance Shows.
With Season 27 of The Voice coming to an end, coaches Kelsea Ballerini, Michael Bublé, John Legend and Adam Levine will each be rooting for their chosen singers to take home the win.
According to previous reporting, The Voice contestants do not get paid, per se, leading up to the grand cash prize and record deal. Instead, similarly with Idol, once performers make it past the Blind Auditions (to become one of 12 on a team), they receive a living stipend that covers room, board, necessary travel and the like, including access to catering. The amount of this stipend has never been revealed.
She added of the food options and stipend: “It was f—ing sweet. It was basically like being an adult without having to be one. Once you’re on the show for a while, you got money to go out and catering was really great. I ate really well.”
Vicci Martinez, of Season 1, concurred, adding that the contestants had access to a Starbucks with snacks “all day.” Fellow Season 1 competitor Dia Frampton said she stuck to the hotel restaurant offerings.
Another similarity is access to greater wardrobe offerings. In an interview with Emmy-winning longtime executive producer and showrunner Audrey Morrissey, SheKnowsreported that contestants are expected to supply their own outfits for the Blinds, but are guided afterward once attached to a team. “We shop for each artist to come up with great looks,” she said. “Once we get to the live shows, looks are customized for each performance.”
“It’s emotionally frustrating,” she said, adding that she had to take personality tests before getting the final approval to be on the show. “They know exactly what they’re doing. Every second.”
What’s more, per Newsweek, participants are reportedly asked to sign a contractual agreement that states the series may be “disparaging, defamatory, embarrassing (and) may expose me to public ridicule, humiliation, or condemnation.” Additionally, the contract states that The Voice is permitted to “have the right at any and all times … to remove or replace me as a participant in the series, for any reason whatsoever, in their sole discretion.” Those who break the contract can reportedly be sued for up to $1 million.
What does The Voice winner get?
Since its premiere in 2011, The Voice winner has received $100,000 upon their triumph, as well as a record deal with Universal Music Group’s Republic Records.
Additionally, contestants don’t necessarily have to win to land outside recording contracts or lucrative deals. Take Season 6’s Morgan Wallen, among one of the most successful contestants, who was eliminated in the Playoffs but went on to sign with Big Loud to top the charts and earn two Grammy nods. Season 3’s Loren Allred also left after the Playoffs but ended up making a Billboard Hot 100 debut with the platinum-selling “Never Enough,” featured on The Greatest Showman soundtrack. Meanwhile, Season 2’s Nicolle Galyon, eliminated during the Battle Rounds, has successfully penned tracks for the likes of Keith Urban, Miranda Lambert, Lady A, Kenny Chesney, Florida Georgia Line and fellow The Voice alumna RaeLynn.
