The Voice Senior is a Dutch talent-search television program produced by Talpa Productions which is broadcast on RTL 4. The show is based on the concept of The Voice of Holland and The Voice Kids, both of which were also created by John de Mol. However, participation is only open to elders of more than sixty years old.[1]

Format

The show consists of four different phases: production audition, Blind Audition, The Knockouts and the Live Finale. The production auditions are not filmed, here only the good singers are selected by the program to go to the Blind Auditions.

The Blind Auditions

The blind auditions are similar to The voice of Holland and The Voice Kids. The contestants sing during the blind auditions while the chairs of the four judges/coaches are turned over. Each candidate has the chance to sing a song of their choice for about a minute and a half. The coaches can only choose the contestant on the basis of musicality and voice by pressing the button, causing their chairs turn around and facing the artist. If two or more coaches want the same artist, the artist can choose which coach he or she wants to continue in the program. The Blind Auditions will end when all teams are full.

The Knockouts

Each coach pairs two or three singers from his team who have to compete against each other by performing a song chosen by the coach. After the Knockouts, the coach chooses one contestant from each pairto to advance the next round. In the end, every coach retains two contestants.

The Live Finale

The remaining two contestants from each team will be in the final. The Live finale will be broadcast live on RTL 4. The contestants are mentored by their coach and choose a song that they want to sing in the final. The coach then decides one act to remain, the other act will then be eliminated. The final winner is chosen by the public at home by televoting.

Coaches and hosts

On December 1, 2017, three coaches from the adult as well as the kids version: Ali B, Ilse DeLange and Marco Borsato, were announced as coaches for the senior version,[2] but Ali B eventually didn't become a coach for the show. On May 7, 2018 it was announced in a radio show that Angela Groothuizen, who previously also appeared as a coach in The Voice of Holland and The Voice Kids, would become the third coach.[3] A month later, it was revealed that Gerard Joling and Gordon Heuckeroth would be joining the show as a duo coach and would sit in a double chair.[4]

Martijn Krabbé and Wendy van Dijk, who both host the adult and the kids version, also became hosts for The Voice Senior.[5] Later it was announced that Patrick Martens would serve as the backstage presenter.
