The Voice is an international reality television singing competition franchise originally created by Dutch producer John de Mol and Dutch singer Roel van Velzen.

It has become a rival to the Idols franchise, The Four, Rising Star and The X Factor. The owner of the franchise was Talpa Network up until 2020 and ITV Studios ever since.^[1]

Originating from the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, many other countries adapted the format and began airing their own versions starting in 2010. Up till now, seven different versions of The Voice have been produced by countries/regions all around the world. Some programs still stick to the original format of the show while most of them are produced with twists of the format added.

The franchise maintains official YouTube channels called The Voice Global and La Voz Global (as the Spanish version). The channels upload compilation videos of performances from The Voice all around the world. The Voice Global channel currently has over 10 million subscribers.^[2] Other channels on YouTube such as Best of The Voice^[3] and Best of The Voice Kids^[4] also feature compilations of the performances.
