摘要

自荷兰的音乐选秀节目荷兰之声播出广受好评之后，中美两国都引进了这个节目。好声音节目是一个集表演、选秀、观众参与为一体的节目。本课题对好声音节目做了简单介绍，并从选秀方式、赛程安排、导师构成等方面寻找中美好声音节目的异同点，然后分析造成差异的文化原因，分析两个节目各自的特色。

虽然中美好声音发展的态势还不错，但两个节目中还存在着一些问题，例如广告较多，用语不文明等。通过对比可以发现两个节目各自的优缺点，然后可以相互借鉴，希望能够弥补音乐选秀中的一些不足，使更多爱好音乐的民众能够参与音乐选秀节目，为他们创造更好地实现梦想的平台。

Abstract

Since the Voice of Holland broadcast and shared a good reputation, the Voice program was introduced by both China and America. The Voice program has combined performance, selection and audiences with each other. This paper gives a brief introduction to the Voice program and tries to find their commonness and differences from the way of choosing contestant, competition arrangement and so on. And then analyze the cultural causes of differences and features of the two programs.

Although the development of the Voice programs are not bad both in China and America, there are still some problems in the two programs, such as broadcasting too many advertisements, using impolite expressions and so on. Comparative study on the Voice of China and the Voice is made in this paper in order to find their feathers and problems and hope that they can learn from each other and make up for their own shortcomings. If the Voice programs have a better development, more and more people who love music would participate in the Voice programs and the Voice programs can provide a better platform for common people to realize their dreams.

Key words: the Voice program; the Voice of China; the Voice
