Posted by Cristina Isabel on June 7th, 2011
NBC’s The Voice do really mean business as they continue to earn viewers’ ratings. After winning the most-coveted post-Super Bowl slot in 2012, NBC announced that it will add an extra results show on June 22 and will air the finale on June 29. Both episodes will last an hour and air live.



The show currently airs on Tuesdays from 9 to 11 p.m. Tonight will be the first live competiton among the chosen top 16. With this NBC will unveil the show’s new futuristic live stage that’s even bigger and more intense for the live-performances.

Coaches Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will open the show by signing a medley of Queen’s “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “We Will Rock You” and “We Are the Champions.”

And for the first time ever for any singing competition, fans will have the ability to vote for their favorite artists by downloading ($1.29 each) the studio versions of the songs that they perform on the live show each week via the iTunes Store (www.itunes.com). Voting is also allowed via toll-free phone calls, the NBC Live app and online at NBC.com. Only votes made during the designated voting period will be tallied.

Additionally, “The Voice” will task V-Correspondent Alison Haislip (G4′s “Attack of the Show!”), to engage fans and connect them to artists and coaches from the V-Room via Facebook, Twitter, NBC Live and NBC.com during the live broadcasts. Moreover, fans who use #TheVoice or tweet to the show, coaches or artists’ official handles may see their tweets appear in the lower third of the screen during V-Room portions of the live show.

Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President, Alternative Programming, NBC and Universal Media Studios issued this statement, “This new voting opportunity reflects the reality of music lovers who vote everyday for their favorite artists by downloading and purchasing their music. Additionally, we are blown away by the overwhelming response from viewers via Facebook, Twitter and other social media. Our audience is totally engaged with our artists and coaches — so we want to do everything we can to make this a part of the conversation on the air. The fans make the artists into stars, and it will be a completely new experience for them to see their favorites answer their questions on air.”
