The American TV series, The Voice, has been around for more than a decade and has given 21 different winners.

Each year, the show takes place twice. It was started in 2011 and has evolved into one of the most popular talent shows in the history of American TV shows. It is a reality competition television series where four judges guide and refine selected raw talents to take them to the next level in the field of singing.

The show's first season started with a panel of four judges, Christina Aguilera, CeeLo Green, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton. However, as it has come a long way, the board has seen multiple changes in the coaches as artists like John Legend, Shakira, Usher, Miley Cyrus, and a few others have also sat in the chair.

The four judges select the required number of participants in their team from the audition rounds, where only a few are chosen from a vast mass of people. As the show progresses through different stages set by the hosts, the number of participants gradually decreases as only the competition winners from each round progress through to the next round.

Based on the points given by the judging panel and the accumulation of public votes received, the contestants pass through to the next round. After a series of competitions and analyses, one person gets crowned as the winner of that season of The Voice.

As a champion of a particular season, they get a grand prize of $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group. This opportunity sets them on a new path in their career where they get the chance to get to the top.

Her exposure through the competition brought her further fame in the industry as she began recording songs with various other artists and released a few singles and extended plays of her own. However, she didn't produce many albums as the lady released her second album, Stages, in 2019, her most recent one.
