The Voice shows racial and gender diversity because all four judges are different in many ways. Throughout the seasons, there has always been one female who is either Christina Aguilera or Gwen Stefani who are both American, or Shakira who is Columbian. The other three judges are males who are usually either Adam Levine or Blake Shelton who are both American, or CeeLo Green, Usher, and Pharrell who all are African American. They not only are racially diverse but come from different musical backgrounds, some of them compose R&B, Hip-Hop, Pop, Country and Latin music. Both racial and gender diversity are important in media because shows such as The Voice are viewed by thousands globally which ultimate makes a positive impact in showing that diversity is important. I don't think that this television shows any racial or gender stereotypes which is a good thing. I feel like the thing that prevents this is the way the show is set up. The Voice is a show where singers can have the opportunity to showcase their talent with blind auditions, which is where four celebrity judges have their backs turned while the performer sings, this only allows the judge to choose the participant solely on their musical talent. If a judge decides that they would like the performer to be a part of their team, they then push a button and their chair turns finally seeing the participant's appearance. This set up, allows for all participants to have an equal opportunity with their backgrounds not having an impact on the judge's decisions.
