Zhejiang Television

The third season of the Chinese reality talent show The Voice of China premiered on 18 July 2014 on Zhejiang Television. Hu Qiaohua returned as host. Na Ying and Wang Feng returned as coaches. A-mei and Harlem Yu did not return for season three, making room for the return of Yang Kun after a one-season absence, and an addition of a new coach, Chyi Chin. On 7 October 2014, Zhang Bichen of Team Na Ying was announced as the winner of the season, making her the first female winner of The Voice of China and Coach Na Ying second win as coach. Perhat Khaliq of Team Wang Feng, Ryan Yu of Team Yang Kun, and UZ Qin of Team Chyi Chin finished runner-up, third, and fourth places respectively.

Changes from the previous seasons

This year's Blind Auditions were filmed outside Shanghai, where the two previous seasons were recorded. The number of members on each coach's team was increased to 16 from 14 in previous seasons. In addition, the "Steal" option introduced in Season 2 was removed from the Battle Rounds format.

One major change this year is that the show also allowed entries from street auditions in more than 100 cities in China. Several entries from street auditions passed through pre-show eliminations and made their way to the Blind Auditions.

The Battles

Coaches began narrowing down the playing field by training the contestants with the help of a "Dream Coach" ("Trusted Advisor" in all versions in English-speaking countries). Each episode features pairings from within a coach's team, and each battle concludes with the respective coach reducing his or her team from 16 to the top 4.

The format of the Battle Rounds is divided into two stages, the Battle Stage and the Sing-Off Stage. In the Battle Stage, each pairing jointly performs the same song, after which the 3 other coaches and the "Dream Coach" give their opinions. The main coach selects one of the pair to advance to the Sing-Off Stage. In the Sing-Off Stage, the top 8 singers are randomly paired and each performs a solo song, after which the main coach selects one of the pair to advance to the Team Championship Rounds.

Season three's advisors are Karen Mok and Chyi Yu (assistant coach) for Team Chyi Chin, Zheng Jun for Team Wang Feng, Jeff Chang for Team Na Ying and Jam Hsiao for Team Yang Kun.
