La Voz Peru

La Voz Perú (English: The Voice Peru) is a Peruvian reality talent show that premiered on Latina Televisión in 2013 and is based on the original The Voice of Holland and part of an international franchise created by Dutch television producer John de Mol.

History
The voice format was devised by John de Mol, creator of Big Brother, and unlike other singing talent shows, only the voice potential will be evaluated without giving importance to the physical appearance of the participants.

This is a foreign format, produced in different parts of the world with great success in 2011. Peru will voice a jury of four professionals who show their back to the participants and will hear them sing. When one of them likes what they hear, the coaches in question will press a button and your chair will turn, making it the "godfather" of the contestant.

The novelty of this show is the dynamics of the program. Unlike other contests of song, this version added an ingredient of coaches, who will be four remain turned on during the performance of the participants. Thus, only from the voice, each coach will select what participants you want for your team.

Thus, the contest will be divided into different phases: the instance of a "blind" song, the selection and the duel between teams prepared for special galas shows and live performances.

Format
La Voz Perú is to choose between a group of contestants, of different ages, those who stand out for their vocal qualities without image influence the decision of the coaches, composed of well-known artists who later directed their education. This format aims to try to find the best voice in Peru.

Blind auditions
In the Blind auditions, each coach completes a team of artists by using only the sense of hearing, being unable to see them. Within ninety seconds, coaches must decide whether they want the participant for their team or not. If several coaches wish to have the same contestant, the last word is of the participant. Once the teams are formed, each coach will be responsible to train the artists for the second phase. In the fourth season, a new element was added, the "Block" button, which allows a coach to block another to prevent them from recruiting the artist on its team. Each coach has granted three blocks to use in the entire stage.

Battles
In the Battles, each coach will put two (or three, rarely) of their participants head-to-head singing a song together. Both singers should shine in a duet (or trio) and the coach will decide which of them is the winner of the battle. The winners of these battles advance to the next stage. In season two, "Steals" were added, this allows another coach to save another artist from another team who lose the battle. However, in the fourth season, "Steal" was removed in this round. The "Steals" returned the following season, where coaches can save only one artist from another team.

Sing-offs
From season one through three, in the Sing-offs every coach must save six participants to send them directly to the live shows so that the three missing have to sing in front of the coach the song performed in blind auditions, thus, the coach will save two and will have to eliminate the other to reach the live show with eight participants each team.

Knockouts
This was introduced in the fourth season, replacing the Sing-offs. In this round, coaches would group the artist into pairs and will sing the song of the artist's choice, and the coach will choose one artist to proceed to the next round. Also, "Steals" were added in this round, allowing another coach to save the losing artist from another team.

Live shows
In the live shows, each coach will assess their team members weekly, and after the performances, some are saved by the public and others by their coach. In the finale, they not only present songs solo, but each finalist also performs a duet with her coach. The final word is from the public, which enshrines one of the four finalists to be the voice of Peru.

Coaches
On Saturday, 3 August 2013, the official list of the four coaches of La Voz Perú was released: Puerto Rican singer Jerry Rivera, Mexican pop singer Kalimba, Venezuelan singer José Luis "El Puma" Rodríguez, and Peruvian singer Eva Ayllón. The panel remained for the series' second season, in 2014.

On Monday, 10 August 2015, a new coaching panel was revealed for the third season: returning coach Eva Ayllón, Nicaraguan singer Luis Enrique, Mexican rock singer Álex Lora, and Peruvian singer Gian Marco Zignago.
