Vocea României

Vocea României (Romanian pronunciation: [ˈvotʃe̯a romɨˈni.ej]; 'The Voice of Romania') is a Romanian reality singing competition broadcast on PRO TV. Based on the original The Voice of Holland, the concept of the series is to find new singing talent contested by aspiring singers, age 16 or over, drawn from public auditions. The winner is determined by television viewers voting by telephone and he is entitled to a €100,000 prize and a record deal with Universal Records for winning the competition. There have been thirteen winners of the show to date: Ștefan Stan, Julie Mayaya, Mihai Chițu, Tiberiu Albu, Cristina Bălan, Teodora Buciu, Ana Munteanu, Bogdan Ioan, Dragoș Moldovan, Iulian Nunucă, Alexandra Căpitănescu, Aura Șova, and Alessia Pop.

The Voice of Romania began airing on September 27, 2011, as an autumn TV season program. The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances. Each coach guides their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original coaching panel consisted of Smiley, Horia Brenciu, Loredana Groza and Marius Moga. The panel for the most recent thirteenth season featured Smiley, Tudor Chirilă and Horia Brenciu. Other coaches from the previous seasons include Adrian Despot, Irina Rimes, Andra, Theo Rose and The Motans.
