"The Voice" vs. "American Idol" (POLL)
Panelists Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton provide a different energy from Steven Tyler, Randy Jackson and Jennifer Lopez. "The Voice" judges seemed to play up friendly rivalries between them, reports MTV.

Celebrities aside, the differences between the two shows are bigger than at first it would appear. The judges listen to contestants with their backs to them, judging a performance based on vocals alone. A judge can choose a singer as a student, according to MTV.com, and if more than one judge wants that singer, the singer chooses which judge he or she wants.
And if you don't get picked by a judge? See ya.
Other differences: "The Voice" auditioned a duo and the team got a spot with Shelton, plus the audition footage didn't really focus on the crazies like "Idol" does, reports MTV.
