La Voz Kids (Spanish forThe Voice Kids) is a Mexican singingcompetition television series for contestants aged 7 to 15 and is broadcast onAzteca Uno. The show originally premiered March 12, 2017 onLas Estrellas. It is based onThe Voice franchise created by television producerJohn de Mol. The show's rights were acquired byTV Azteca in 2020 for its third season.[1]
The show consists of three phases: Blind audition, Battle phase, and Performance shows. Three judges/coaches (Four from season three and after), all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process (18 members in season 1-2, 15 in season 3 and 21 in season 4).
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.
In this phase three artists battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which artist advances to the Performance Shows. The losing artists are automatically eliminated. In season four, a 'Save' feature was added. This new twist allowed other coaches to push their button, and the first to do so was allowed to walk backstage and welcome one of the two eliminated artists into their team.
In the Performance Shows, each artist competes to receive their coach’s and public’s vote. The artists with the highest votes from their team advance to the next round. This repeats throughout the show until the Finale, where one artist per team is voted as the Top 4. In the Finale, the highest voted artist wins the title as their country’s The Voice 'Kid', along with their coach.
After five successful seasons ofLa Voz... México,Televisa confirmed they would also produce the kids version withMaluma,Rosario Flores andEmmanuel &Mijares as the coaches.[2] Coach from the adult version,Yuri was host, alongsideOlivia Peralta who served backstage.[3] In September 2019,Televisa announced the official airing of the second season labeling it as¡La ultima y nos vemós! (The last one and we'll see you!).[4]Carlos Rivera andLucero who both served as coaches in the adult version were confirmed as the coaches, alongsideMelendi.[5] Both hosts returned for the second season.
The third season was set to air in early 2020, but due to theCOVID-19 pandemic delays, it was pushed to 2021. Filming for the third season began in October 2020 withBelinda,Mau y Ricky,María José, andCamilo being revealed as the coaches.[6][7] On January 19, 2022, evening showVentaneando announced formerLa Voz Ecuador coachPaty Cantú with debutantsMaría León,Joss Favela and returning coach duo Mau y Ricky as part of the fourth season's coaching panel.
