The Voice Kids is an Albanian television talent show created by John de Mol and based on the concept The Voice Kids Netherlands. It is part of an international series. It began airing on Top Channel on March 29, 2013, and ended on May 24, 2013.[1] After four years of absence, on January 19, 2018, Top channel premiered the second season.[2]
There are 4 stages to the competition:
The first stage of the show is not broadcast. The producers of the show audition all the artists that submitted their selves through the form on the website. The selected by the producers artists proceed to the blind auditions where they have to perform for the coaches.
The second phase is the "Blind Auditions". There, the children have to sing alone in front of live audiences. The 3 jury members are sitting in a swivel chair with their back to the stage and cannot see the candidates. During the performance, they can elect to support a candidate by pressing a buzzer, which will automatically turn their seat towards the stage. The candidate continues to the next round if he or she receives at least one of the three jury votes. The candidate chooses a coach for the further rounds from all jury members who supported him or her.
It follows a training week in which the coaches prepare their candidates called the "Battle Round" third phase. In the Battle Round three candidates of the same coaching group to sing a song in the trio. Only one of the three candidates is further decision of the respective coaches.
The final phase are the "Live Shows" and there are six finalists per team. They sing in consultation with their coach. The coach decide for his/her/their team which two acts goes in the next stage. The audience at home can then vote on which two act has to go to the next stage.
In the semi-final phase each coach has four artists in his/her/their teams. Each act sing a song and the audience at home can then vote on which two per team advanced to final phase.
In the final stage, there's still two finalists per team. The winner will be named using televoting by the public at home to "The Voice Kids Albania".
