The fifth season of the Dutch reality singing competition The Voice of Holland, created by media tycoon John de Mol Jr., aired during 2014 on RTL 4. Martijn Krabbé and Wendy van Dijk returned as co-hosts, while Jamai Loman replaced Winston Gerschtanowitz as host of the red room. Marco Borsato, Trijntje Oosterhuis, Ilse DeLange and Ali B returned as coaches.
One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.
This season included future Eurovision winner Duncan Laurence, who competed under his real name, Duncan de Moor.
Coaches For the first time in this show's history, all 4 coaches from Season 4 (Trijnte Oostherhuis, Marco Borsato, Ali B, and Ilse de Lange) have returned for season 5.

The Battle Rounds The battle rounds determine which candidates from each team move on to the live shows. Two (or three) contestants from within a team are paired together to sing the same song, and ultimately, only eight candidates per team advance to the live shows. Continuing from season 4, each coach is allowed to steal one contestant from another coach's team. New for this season is that the studio audience can vote on contestants (through their own mobile phones). They can vote for that contestant (red vs. blue), thus helping influence the coach's decision on who moves on. Furthermore, since both Ilse and Ali B ended the blind auditions with 15 contestants each, 3 from each team were required to battle and one was taken through, while the others were then able to be stolen. Color key: Artist won the Battle and advanced to the Clash Rounds Artist lost the Battle but was stolen by another coach and advanced to the Clash Rounds Artist lost the Battle and was eliminated

Live Shows
The Clashes New this season are the Live Clash Rounds. In the first two live shows have 2 contestants (from the same team) sing 2 songs, going from one contestant to another and then repeating that process one more time. Each coach pairs two contestant to face. Immediately after The Clash gives points [out of 100] to each contestant (ex. 60/40). In the meantime, people can also give points [out of 100] to contestants through calls, text messages or votes via their smartphone or tablet from the free Red Room app during a voting window. All points are added up, and this determines which contestant is the winner of The Clash and continues to live show 3.
