The Voice Kids is an upcoming British television talent show created by John de Mol and is set to premiere sometime in 2017 on ITV.[1]
Production
Speculation
A junior version of The Voice UK first came to terms when John de Mol "hoped" that the BBC would launch The Voice Kids UK in the future.[2] The Voice UK coach, will.i.am also stated that he wanted youngsters to audition for a junior version of that singing competition, which he told the public in 2013.[3]
Scheduling
The show announced in November 2015, beginning when the BBC revealed that they would not air The Voice UK for a fifth series, by their television channel.[4] ITV later confirmed plans for airing a sixth series of The Voice aired by them, with a UK version of The Voice Kids and a untitled spinoff show to be aired on ITV2 sometime in 2017.
It will be produced by Warner Bros. UK and Talpa Productions. No judges or presenters have been announced as of Early April 2016, but development has begun however.
Format
Blind auditions
The first shown stage is the blind auditions, where they sing in front of the coaches. The coaches have their backs to the singer, and if they like what they hear, they can press their button to turn around and recruit them to their team. If more than one coach turns, the power shifts to the singer, who then decides which team they would like to be part of. Each coach must recruit 12 singers to their team in the blind auditions to progress on to the battle phase.
Battle rounds
Each team of singers will be mentored and developed by their coach. In the second stage, coaches will have two of their team members battle against each other by singing the same song, with the coach choosing which team member will advance to the next stage. The team member that then does not get chosen is available to be 'stolen' by another coach. However, each coach only has a limited amount of steals.
Live shows
In the final phase, the remaining contestants will compete against each other in live broadcasts. The television audience will help to decide who moves on. When one team member remains for each coach, the contestants will compete against each other in the finale.
