Hlas Česko Slovenska 2012
Hlas Česko Slovenska is a reality singing competition and version of The Voice of Holland for Czech Republic and Slovakia. It is part of the international syndication The Voice based on the reality singing competition launched in the Netherlands, created by Dutch television producer John de Mol. It kicked off on February 12, 2012, and ended on June 3, 2012.
One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. 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.
Overview
Coaches and Finalists
Format
The series consists of three phases: a blind audition, a battle phase, and live performance shows. Four judges/coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer, the singer has the final choice of coach.Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have two of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of four individual "battles" into the first live round. Within that first live round, the surviving acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with a combination of public and jury vote deciding who advances onto the next round.
In the final phase, the remaining contestants compete against each other in live broadcasts. The television audience and the coaches have equal say 50/50 in deciding who moves on to the final 4 phase. With one team member remaining for each coach, the contestants compete against each other in the finale with the outcome decided solely by public vote.
The first season started on February 12, 2012, and is aired simultaneously in both countries. The judges are Josef Vojtek, leadsinger of Czech rock band Kabát, 1980s cult figure Michal David, pop singer Dara Rolins and her spouse, popular hip hop/R'n'B artist and sex symbol Rytmus.

Episode 2: February 19, 2012
- This was a guest appearance by the famous singer who was playing a trick on the coaches finding out if they would recognise him. While every coach pushed the button immediately, he did not chose any of them as he was not really auditioning for the show.

The Battles
----Coaches begin narrowing down the playing field by training the contestants with the help of "trusted advisors". Each episode featured eight to ten battles consisting two of pairings from within each team, and each battle concluding with the respective coach eliminating one of the two contestants. After that the seven winners had to go through one sing-off before six of them advanced to the live shows.
