Nick Jonas joins judging panel for The Voice

The four-time Emmy Award-winning musical competition series "The Voice" returns with the strongest vocalists from across the country invited to compete in the show's newest season.

Nick Jonas, the multi-platinum Grammy- and Golden Globe Award-nominated recording artist, actor, songwriter and member of the preeminent group the Jonas Brothers, joins acclaimed coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Blake Shelton as they return for Season 18,Carson Daly returns as host.

Also returning this season is the "block," which adds another layer of excitement during the Blind Auditions.

The coach chairs each have an extra set of buttons with the other three coaches' names,the block button prevents a coach from adding a new artist to their team.

The coaches can only use their block buttons on one artist for the entire first round of the competition.

When a coach hits the block button with the name of the other three coaches, the coach who hit it automatically turns around. The "blocked" coach only discovers they are blocked if they press their button.

The blocked coach's chair will still turn - instead of their lane lighting up with their name, it will say "BLOCKED."

If the coach doesn't press their button, the block is still available for another audition.
