With over 20 seasons of The Voice completed since its 2011 premiere, it's natural for some contestants, out of the hundreds who have appeared, to regret their time on television. Based on the Dutch program The Voice of Holland, a panel of celebrity coaches fight for their talent to win the competition; the winning singer receives $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group, while the winning coach receives bragging rights. Out of the original four coaches — CeeLo Green, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Christina Aguilera — only Blake remains, while Carson Daly has held hosting duties since day one.
While The Voice is often compared to American Idol — whose first winner, Kelly Clarkson, has ironically been a coach since season 14 — there are several key differences between them. While the coaches on The Voice hand-select the singers they wish to guide through the competition, American Idol judges critique the contestants after their performances. American Idol judges also determine who goes to Hollywood based on their complete package: a person's singing skill, personality, and physical appearance are all taken into account. On the other hand, The Voice is known for blindly judging auditionees by having their backs to the stage. If a coach likes the contestant's voice, they turn their chair around to face them; if only one coach turns around, that person is automatically on their team. If more than one celebrity faces the singer, however, that person gets to choose who they want as a mentor.
