In the series premiere of this new vocal competition series, "blind auditions" are held in front of a celebrity panel of music coaches including, Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton who each compete to select eight vocalists for their individual teams. Carson Daly ("Last Call with Carson Daly") hosts the premiere, which features an array of hopeful vocalists as they fight for a chance to win the grand prize of a recording contract and $100,000.

In the first installment of the "battle rounds" the coaches join forces with music industry professionals for guidance. Christina Aguilera teams up with singer/songwriter Sia Furler, Adam Levine with music producer Adam Blackstone, Cee Lo Green with singer Monica, and Blake Shelton with Grammy-winning singer Reba. In this phase the coaches will pit two of their own team members against each other in a dueling duet. After the vocal face-off, each coach, with the help of their adviser, must choose which of his/her singers are the strongest and advance them to the live shows. Carson Daly ("Last Call with Carson Daly") hosts.
