"Battle Rounds" begin Monday with previously named advisers Hillary
Scott, Sheryl Crow, Joel Madden and Pharrell Williams joining forces with Adam
Levine, Blake Shelton, Usher and Shakira to prepare teams for next phase of competition
NBC's "The Voice" coaches have each selected their 12-member
teams that will advance to the "Battle Rounds" phase of the competition.
Beginning Monday, April 15 (8 p.m.), the coaches and celebrity advisers will
work with their respective teams of performers, developing skill sets, offering
advice and encouragement, and sharing secrets about their own personal success.
During the "Battle Rounds," each coach will pair two of
their own team members against one another, each asked to sing the same song
together in front of a studio audience. After the vocal battle, the coach must
pick which of his/her singers will advance to the knockout round, while the
losing artist is available to be stolen by another coach. Each coach has two
steals available during the "Battle Rounds."
Since launching on Monday, March 25, "The Voice" has
averaged a 4.6 rating, 13 share in adults 18-49 and 13.4 million viewers
overall for its combined Monday and Tuesday editions, dominating all four of
its time periods in the key 18-49 demographic. For its first week back, the
Monday and Tuesday editions of "The Voice" ranked No. 1 and No. 2 for that week
among all primetime series on ABC, CBS, NBC and Fox in adults 18-34, 18-49 and
25-54; women 18-34, 18-49 and 25-54; and teens 12-17. Versus the prior cycle,
"The Voice" is currently up 5 percent in both 18-49 rating (4.6 vs. 4.4) and
total viewers (13.4 million vs. 12.8 million).
