It'll be very interesting to see how ITV try to position this in that respect, given it is starting so soon after X Factor too. Do they try to keep a distinction between the two - The Voice as the 'serious', bonafide singing competition, and XF as a more 'fun', drama-laden primetime entertainment show? Or bring elements of X Factor over to The Voice - joke acts, bickering coaches, more dramatic etc?

My guess would be they're going to try and keep them as separate as possible.

The problem I always had with it before was that the prerecorded rounds dragged on far too long, and once the gimmick of the Blinds is over, the rest of the rounds are really not all that interesting or distinctive enough. The superiority complex and all round love-in atmosphere got tiresome too.
