The Ultimate Voice Franchise Quiz

The Voice is an international reality television singing competition franchise based on The Voice of Holland, created by John de Mol and Roel van Velzen. It has become a rival to other franchises like Idols, The Four, Rising Star, and The X Factor. The franchise was owned by Talpa Network until 2020 and is now owned by ITV Studios. Seven different versions of The Voice have been produced by countries/regions worldwide, with some programs still sticking to the original format while others have added twists. The show's format features five stages of competition: producers' auditions, blind auditions, battle rounds, knockouts (since 2012), and live performance shows. The show's cornerstone is social media participation via Twitter, Facebook, and a specially designed platform called "connect." The show has multiple format variations, including blind audition twists like "no conversations if no turn," "block button," "mute button," "wildcard round," "switch," and "no limit." Battle twists include "non-stop steal" and "no-elimination."Twists and Formats Introduced in The Voice Franchise
