‘The Voice’ is one of the most iconic singing competitions on TV. Since 2011, when the show arrived in America, the series has been well received by audiences, and even won numerous awards, including Critics Choice and Emmys.
Of course, ‘The Voice’ set itself apart thanks to its format, which included the “blinded auditions,” as well as the formation of teams coached by well-known figures in the music industry. Among the many coaches that have been part of the show there are Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Miley Cyrus, Usher, Shakira and more.
Artists that win the show, usually get a prize and a contract. However, winning is not necessary to launch a successful career in music, as there are many notable success stories from The Voice. But, apart from contestants and coaches, another important figure in the competition is the host.
History of hosts of The Voice
The history of hosts of The Voice is rather short, as Carson Daly has been in the position since the inaugural season. However, at first, he was accompanied by Alison Haislip, who served as a backstage, online and social media correspondent.
However, after one season, she was replaced by Christina Milian, who was part of the series until season 5. After that, Daly assumed the duties of the social media correspondent, apart from his usual job as host.
