Explained simply

The Voice is a televised singing competition in which contestants perform for a panel of music stars, known as coaches. In the Battle Round, two singers on the same coach’s team perform the same song, and their coach chooses which one advances.

Kelly Clarkson is a singer and coach on the programme, while Adam Levine is a musician who also serves as a coach. The format gives coaches a role in deciding who progresses, while performances can also bring attention to younger singers and less familiar styles.
