Kahn Morbee, Lira, Karen Zoid and Bobby van Jaarsveld take their seats in the iconic red chairs as the judges and coaches of The Voice South Africa.
The Voice is the ultimate talent contest. A show in which the absolute key factor is talent. Real talent. There's no room for fly by nights or wannabe stars. Only the very best of the best will do; the best voice combined with the best mentality, that's what the show is all about.
The Voice comprises three phases: Once the best singers are identified at the countrywide open auditions, they go through to the Blind Audition phase, where four coaches – all professional recording artists in their own right – listen to them sing without actually seeing them.
If a coach is interested in a singer, they push a button that swivels their chair around to face the contestant. If more than one coach turns their chair, the contestant has the opportunity to pick which coach they'd prefer to work with.
Once all of the coaches have a set amount of singers in their teams, the show moves onto the Battle Rounds, where each coach pairs two of their contestants up to perform together, and then chooses only one to go through to the next round.
The last phase is the Live Shows, where the remaining contestants sing for the public's votes, until one singer is officially named the winner of The Voice South Africa.
The winner of Season 1 was Richard Stirton.
