Blind auditions

The Voice – Norges beste stemme season 11

The blind auditions began on 9 January. In the round, artists perform for the four coaches, whose chairs are turned away from the artist. If a coach is interested in working with the artist, he/she presses a button to turn their chair. If only one coach turns, the artist defaults to his/her team. If multiple coaches turn, the artist picks his/her team. At the end of the blind auditions, each coach was to have twelve artists on his/her team. However, at the end of the blind auditions, Marion Raven and Jarle Bernhoft each had thirteen artists on their team.
