The Voice Belgique is a Francophone Belgian reality television singing competition. The TV show is part of the international "Voice" franchise that started in the Netherlands as The Voice of Holland. It began on 20 December 2011, one month after its Flemish Belgian counterpart, The Voice van Vlaanderen went on air. It is currently airing on La Une from RTBF network.[1]

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.

The series consists of three phases: a blind audition, a battle phase, and live performance shows. Four judges/coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance (about one minute) to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team; if two or more judges want the same singer (as happens frequently), the singer has the final choice of coach.

Each team of singers is mentored and developed by its respective coach. In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have two of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of four individual "battles" into the first live round. Within that first live round, the surviving four acts from each team again compete head-to-head, with public votes determining one of two acts from each team that will advance to the final eight. At the same time, the coach chooses which of the remaining three acts comprises the other performer remaining on the team.

In the final phase, the remaining contestants (Final 24) compete against each other in live broadcasts. The television audience and the coaches have an equal say (50/50) in deciding who moves on to the final 4. With one team member remaining for each coach, the (final 4) contestants compete against each other in the finale with the outcome decided solely by public vote.

In July 2019, RTBF announced that they would produce their own version of The Voice Kids. Like the Flemish version, the Wallonian version requires participants to be between the ages of 8 and 14.[2] The first season premiered on 7 January 2020. Océana Siciliano, coached by Slimane, won the first season. The second season premiered on 19 September 2023. Elena Kabongo, coached by Black M, won the second season.

Coaches

edit

The coaches for the first season were announced to be Slimane Nebchi, Vitaa and Matthew Irons from the band Puggy. On 22 May 2022, it was announced that there would be 4 coaches instead of 3 in the judging panel for the second season, with only Irons returning while Black M and Alice on the Roof would join the show as new coaches, replacing Nebchi and Vitaa. Typh Barrow joined the show as a fourth coach and the third new coach, thus completing the panel.[3] On 11 October 2024, it was announced that a third season will air.[4] On 25 November 2024, it was announced that Black M would leave the show, while Irons, Alice on the Roof and Barrow would all return as coaches. They are joined by debuting coach Joseph Kamel.[5][6][7]
