STAGE TUBE: NBC Just-Released Promo for THE VOICE

NBC has just released a new promo for the upcoming season of its talent competition THE VOICE.  In the 22 minute promo, the coaches and artists look back on the first season and catch us up on their lives since and what's ahead for Season 2.  

THE VOICE, NBC's popular reality series returns with the hottest strongest vocalists from across the country ready invited to compete in the blockbuster vocal competition show's second season. Celebrity musician coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton return, along with Carson Daly as host. Christina Milian joins as Social Media Correspondent.

The show's innovative format features three stages of competition: the first begins with the blind audition, then the competition enters into a battle phase, and finally, the live performance shows. During the blind auditions, the decisions from the musician coaches are based solely on voice and not on looks. The coaches hear the contestants perform, but they don't get to see them -- thanks to rotating chairs. If a coach is impressed by the contestant's voice, he/she pushes a button to select the contestant for his/her team. At this point, the coach's chair will swivel so that he/she can face the contestant he/she has selected.

Once the teams are set, the battle is on. Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their singers, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success. During the battle rounds the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal face-off, the coach must choose which of his/her singers will advance.

At the end of the battle episodes, only the strongest members of each coach's roster remain and proceed to the live stage shows. In this final performance phase of the competition, the top contestants from each team will compete against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience will vote to save one talent on each team, leaving the coach to decide live who they want to save and who will not move on. From these four, one will be named "The Voice" In the end, each coach will have one star artist left ready to compete against the other teams' finalists to be named "The Voice" -- and will receive the grand prize of a recording contract and $100,000.
