The Blind Auditions

The show begins with the blind auditions. In each audition, an artist sings their piece in front of the coaches, whose chairs are facing the audience. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, they may press their button to face the artist. If only one coach presses the button, the artist automatically becomes part of their team. If multiple coaches turn, they will compete for the artist, who will decide which team they will join. As from season seven, each coach must have to complete its team with twelve artists. Each coach has granted four "blocks" instead of three from previous season to prevent another coach from getting an artist, with two coaches can be blocked in single audition. At the end of the blind auditions, Zivert didn’t use her fourth block.

The feature "Best Coach" is applied again this season.
