Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.

The coaches were Jeroen van der Boom, Angela Groothuizen, Nick & Simon (working together) and Roel van Velzen. Martijn Krabbé was the only host in the debut season, Wendy van Dijk came to the live show on.
