Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.[1] The music of the Dutch show is provided by a live band, called the Edwin Evers Band.
