The Voice Brasil is a Brazilian reality talent show which premiered on TV Globo on 23 September 2012 and ended on 28 December 2023. Based on the original The Voice of Holland, and part of an international franchise created by Dutch television producer John de Mol.[1]
The original coaches for the first three seasons were Lulu Santos, Carlinhos Brown, Claudia Leitte and Daniel. Daniel departed after season three and was replaced by Michel Teló. Leitte last coaches on season five, moving to the junior version, The Voice Kids, swapping roles with Ivete Sangalo. Carlinhos Brown did not return for season eight, being replaced by Iza; hence, Lulu Santos was the only coach left from the inaugural season.
On 28 August 2023, Globo announced that the twelfth season would be the last, thus cancelling the Brazilian version of the franchise entirely.[2] Notwithstanding, it was announced on 20 January 2024, that the networks Record TV and SBT, were discussing about reviving the series.[3][4] After several rumours,[5] it has been confirmed on 14 March 2025 that the show would return for its thirteenth season, now broadcast on SBT, and hosted by Tiago Leifert, after a three-season hiatus,[6][7][8] with confirmed coaches Mumuzinho, Duda Beat, Péricles and duo Matheus & Kauan.[9]
In The Blind Auditions, the four coaches form their team of artists whom they mentor through the remainder of the season.[11] Each judge has the length of the auditionee's performance to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer then the singer gets to choose which coach they want to work with. Since season seven, a new twist called "Block" is featured, which allows one coach to block another coach from getting a contestant.
Battle rounds
In The Battles, each coach pairs two of his or her team members to perform together, then chooses one to advance. Coaches are given "steals" (3 in seasons 1–2 and 7-9; 2 in seasons 3–6), allowing each coach to select individuals who were eliminated during a battle round by another coach.[11] In season 10, for the first time, no "steals" are available, and only the fifth coach, Teló, could select eliminated artists to participate in the Comeback Stage. In season 11, the steals then returned, with two steals available for each coach.
Live shows
In the final phase, the remaining contestants of each team will compete against each other in 4–7 weeks of live broadcasts.[11] The television audience will help to decide who moves on. When one team member remains for each coach, these four contestants will compete against each other in the finale, with the most voted singer declared the season's winner.
Coaches' Battle
Introduced in season five, in the Coaches' Battle, two contestants from two teams battle against each other and the public vote determines who will advance. In season 10, the winner of the battle is decided by the three coaches not involved in the battle. In season 11, the winner is decided in consensus by the two coaches not involved in the battle.
Remix
Introduced in season five, the Remix round is a way to balance the teams after the Coaches' Battle, which works exactly like the Blind Auditions.
In 2019, it was announced that Iza would join Santos, Teló and Sangalo as coach of season eight, making it the first season to feature two female coaches. With Brown's departure, Santos served as the last remaining coach from the show's inaugural season. In 2020, Globo announced that Sangalo, Iza, Santos, and Teló would be returning for the ninth season. However, on 29 July 2020, Brown was confirmed to return to the panel, replacing Sangalo, who had to leave due to her pregnancy.
In August 2021, the tenth season was confirmed to premiere in October, featuring coaches Brown, Iza, Lulu, and Leitte, the latter returning after a four-year hiatus. In addition, Teló, joins the panel as a "Comeback Stage" coach, selecting eliminated artists and giving them a chance to return to the competition. As phases go by, Teló joins the four coaches on the main stage, having a fifth chair in the scenario for the first time in the Brazilian series.
For the eleventh season, Lulu, Iza and Teló returned alongside The Voice Kids coach Gaby Amarantos. On 28 August 2023, it was confirmed that the program would return for a twelfth and final season. Two days later, the coaches for the final season were announced to be Brown, Iza, Santos, and Teló. During the blind auditions, The Voice+ coach Mumuzinho acted as a guest coach, taking turns with Iza in the coaches' chair.
Following the confirmation of a thirteenth season on SBT, on 16 April 2025, season 12 guest coach Mumuzinho was confirmed as an official coach for season 13.[14] On 5 June, Duda Beat was confirmed as a panelist for the thirteenth season,[15] and duo Matheus & Kauan were "in talks" about joining.[15][16] Lulu Santos was initially quoted as a panelist but later denied.[17] On 20 August, Matheus & Kauan were confirmed as panelists,[9] along the with fourth confirmed coach, Péricles.[18]
