The Voice of Vietnam (Vietnamese: Giọng hát Việt) is a reality television singing competition created by John de Mol. It premiered in Vietnam in July 2012 on Vietnam Television. The format is Dutch and the original Dutch version of the programme was broadcast in the Netherlands for the first time in 2010 as The Voice of Holland. The programme was commissioned after a successful first season in the U.S., where the programme aired on NBC domestically and AXN Asia regionally. It is produced by Cát Tiên Sa.

On March 14, 2012 four coaches were chosen, namely Thu Minh, Trần Lập, Hồ Ngọc Hà and Đàm Vĩnh Hưng. They guided a team of fourteen. The first season is hosted by Phan Anh, former host of Vietnam Idol, while V.Music band, including 4 members, and Phương Mai take the role of backstage and social media correspondents respectively. The second season saw the departures of Thu Minh, Trần Lập, Hồ Ngọc Hà due to professional reasons and they were replaced by Mỹ Linh, Hồng Nhung and Quốc Trung respectively. Season 3, which took place in May 2015, has the same changes of coaches as Thu Phương, Mỹ Tâm and Tuấn Hưng joined the show, while Đàm Vĩnh Hưng is the only coach to stay on the show since the first season.

Format

Contestants are aspiring singers drawn from public auditions. The show's format features three stages of competition. The first is the blind audition (vòng giấu mặt), in which four coaches listen to contenders without seeing them, and turn their chairs to signify that they are interested in working with that artist. If more than one coach turns the chair, the artist chooses the coach he or she would like to work with. The blind audition ends when each coach has fourteen (Vietnamese version) artists to work with. Coaches will dedicate themselves to developing their singers, giving them advice, and sharing the secrets of their success.

The competition then enters into a battle round (vòng đối đầu), when the coaches pit two of their own team members against each other to sing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After the one-on-one battle on stage, the coach must choose which singers will advance. Thus less than half of original artists (6) survive to live shows lasting 10 weeks so far. In this final performance phase of the competition, the top contestants from each team compete against each other during a live broadcast. The television audience vote to save one contestant on each team, leaving the coach to decide live who they want to save and who will not move on. In the semi-final round, the public directly chooses between the two artists left on each team based upon an online music video produced and released by the executive producers.^[1]

Finally, each coach will have his/her best contestant left standing to compete in the finals, singing an original song. From these four, one will be named "Giọng hát Việt" (literally: "The Voice of Vietnam") - and will receive a cash prize of 500 million VND and a recording contract with Universal Republic Records.^[2]
