It is based on the reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, which was originally created by Dutch television producer John de Mol . Many other countries have adapted the format and begun airing their own versions since 2011 . It has become a rival to the Idols franchise, Rising Star and The X Factor . </P> <P> John de Mol, creator of Big Brother, first created The Voice concept with Dutch singer Roel van Velzen . The concept came after de Mol was asked by Erland Galjaard, a Dutch program director, about whether he could go with a format further than The X Factor . Galjaard asked de Mol after Galjaard was excited about the Dutch version of The X Factor . So, de Mol then came with the idea of Blind Audition . He wanted to focus on singing quality alone, so the coaches must be top artists in music industry . The rotating chairs concept was invented by Roel van Velzen . It would also be the first talent show in which social media is actively involved . </P>
