The Blind Auditions

edit

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 ninety seconds) 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.

The Battles

The Sing-Off

edit

Each coach brought his or her team after the "Battle" back to five acts, but there were only two candidates to the final. All five contestants will battle each other in "The Sing-Off", where they re-sung their audition song. The coaches then selected two of the five contestants to move to the live finals.

Trivia

edit
  • All episodes of The Voice Kids were recorded in studio 1 in Aalsmeer.
  • Early November 2011: the enrollment had closed because there were already 17,000 applications.
  • Before the start of The Voice Kids was on 25 January 2012, there was a press conference of the coaches. The interviewers were 24 students from different schools, so that a report could write their school.[10]
