The Voice Kids is a Russian reality television singing competition broadcast on Channel One. Based on the original The Voice Kids of Holland, the concept of the series is to find currently unsigned singing talent contested by aspiring singers, age 6 to 15, drawn from public auditions. The winner is determined by television viewers voting by SMS text.
The winners of the twelve seasons have been: Alisa Kozhikina, Sabina Mustaeva, Danil Pluzhnikov, Elizaveta Kachurak, Rutger Garekht, all 9 finalists of 6th season, Olesya Kazachenko, Vladislav Tyukin, Adeliya Zagrebina, Anna Dorovskaya, Vasily Igolkin and Mariya Nikulina.
The series employs a panel of three coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original panel featured Dima Bilan (seasons 1―4, 11―12), Pelageya (seasons 1―3, 5―6) and Maxim Fadeev (seasons 1―2). The panel for the upcoming thirteenth season featured Polina Gagarina (seasons 7, 9, 13-), Alexey Vorobyov & Aida Garifullina (season 13-) and Vanya Dmitrienko (season 13). Other coaches include Leonid Agutin (season 3), Nyusha (season 4), Valery Meladze (seasons 4―7), Basta (seasos 5, 7―10), LOBODA (season 6 and 8), Polina Gagarina (seasons 7 and 9), Egor Kreed (seasons 8-―10), MakSim (season 10), Yulianna Karaulova (season 11), JONY (season 11), Vladimir Presnyakov & Natalia Podolskaya (season 12) and Aida Garifullina (season 12).
The Voice Kids began airing on February 28, 2014, as a winter-spring TV season programme. The show proved to be a hit for Channel One.
In 2023, there was a spin-off called «The Voice. No Longer Kids», which features former participants competing in a fashion similar to the All-Stars version that originated in France.
Conception An adaptation of the Dutch show The Voice Kids, Channel One announced the show under the name Голос. Дети (The Voice Kids).
In each season, the winner receives ₽500,000 and a record deal for their own album.
Selection process and format Blind auditions Each season begins with the "Blind Auditions", where coaches form their team of artists whom they mentor through the remainder of the season. The coaches' chairs are faced towards the audience during artists' performances; those interested in an artist press their button, which turns their chair towards the artist and illuminates the bottom of the chair to read "Я выбираю тебя" ("I CHOOSE YOU"). At the conclusion of the performance, an artist either defaults to the only coach who turned around or selects their coach if more than one coach expresses interest. Battles In the Battle Rounds, each coach groups three of their team members to perform together and then chooses one to advance in the competition. Sing-offs In the Sing-off Rounds, remaining artists within a team sing individual performances in succession. At the conclusion of the performances, coaches would decide which three artists get to advance to the next round. Final In the Final of the competition, nine artists from all teams perform in the live show, where public voting narrows to a final group of three artists and after second round of performances eventually declares a winner.
