Who will succeed Marghe, the winner of the previous season of The Voice ? Viewers were able to start making their predictions this Saturday, February 12, 2022. TF1 launched the start of the new edition of the singing program with a first round of blind auditions. It was still Amel Bent, Florent Pagny, Marc Lavoine and Vianney who had the difficult task of judging the candidates who came to present themselves on stage. If the desire to buzzer sometimes failed, Nolwenn Leroy, as a surprise coach, was there with the power to fish them out…
SONIA: GIRL ON FIRE – ALICIA KEYS
Sonia opened the ball with crazy energy on the stage of The Voice. She impressed with her voice and mastery for such a young age. Because the brunette from Perpignan is only 16 years old and is still in high school. She managed to convince Florent Pagny and Amel Bent. “Your voice is only magnificent promises, it’s very rich“, has also estimated the latter.

AXEL: IT’S A MAN’S MAN’S MAN’S WORLD – JAMES BROWN
Axel has just passed the milestone of majority by blowing his 18 years. And he already has two passions: singing and taekwondo (he was also crowned French champion in 2019). The young man straight from the Var is launching a new challenge today with The Voice and wants to prove he’s just as good on stage. Bet succeeded since Axel was unanimous by making the four coaches turn around before the end of his performance.

LOU DASSI: SMELLS LIKE TEEN SPIRIT – NIRVANA
Lou Dassi is a 16-year-old sportswoman from Gap. For years, she devoted herself to synchronized swimming, going so far as to compete. But she always wanted to make a career in music. To stand out, she boldly took over this cult title from the group Nirvana. And with her deep and powerful voice, she enchanted two of the coaches, Amel Bent and Florent Pagny.

LOUISE: INDIGO NIGHT – TAMINO
Louise is 21 years old and decided to come with her piano for her audition. She was thus able to deliver a sweet performance and even made a few lyrical notes. Very quickly, the four coaches who buzzed. However, Amel Bent rushed to block Florent Pagny, who has not stopped doubling her since the start.

JOHN PALAU: RISE LIKE A PHOENIX – CONCHITA WURST
At 39, Jean Palau thought his dreams of breaking into music had become impossible. This dairy cow farmer left his passion for love by following her husband Denis to the farm in the Pyrénées-Orientales. But in recent years, he has returned to singing by setting up a recording studio. Jean Palau unfortunately failed to convince the coaches despite a lively debate. Florent Pagny and Vianney were indeed a bit confused on the set. The first considered that they had all been wrong not to buzz when the second found some flaws in the candidate. “If we want to go there, we have to go in fact“, recalled Vianney to his colleague. And for Florent Pagny to get annoyed: “But stop bullshitting me! I have 50 guys to listen to, they all sing really well!” “I have things to say…”, continued Vianney.
But fortunately for Jean Palau, he had the right to a second chance since Nolwenn Leroy decided to draft him, overwhelmed by his voice and his story. The singer even had tears in her eyes. He thus joins his secret team which will be made up of four Talents.
NOUR: ALL THE CRIES THE SOS – DANIEL BALAVOINE
Nour is a regular at The Voice. She participated in season 6 of the Kids version in 2019. At the time, she was part of the Soprano team and was eliminated after the battle stage. Today, Nour is 16 and still sings as well. Moreover, she was a hit with her interpretation of Daniel Balavoine’s title and seduced all the coaches. Despite her young age, she managed to appropriate this emblematic song with sweetness. What made his passage a nice moment of television. There was then for Nour only to choose.

GABIN: THE LAMENT OF THE HILL – CORA VAUCAIRE
Gabin is 30 years old and is a medico-psychological assistant for people with disabilities. A very demanding job but his passion is music. It is also a way for him to free himself from his sometimes difficult daily life. Simply accompanied by his guitar, he delivered a poignant and poetic performance that touched Marc Lavoine and Vianney in the heart from the first notes only. Amel Bent and Florent Pagny were quick to enter the dance in turn. The coaches even ended up giving him a standing ovation.

NATHALIE: STOP THIS FLAME – CELESTE
Nathalie is from Capetown in South Africa. At 39, she has been a singer for 33 years and a professional for twenty years. But success has never really been there for the pretty brunette. Thereby, The Voice represents for her her last chance to break through as an artist. Nathalie did well to keep hope until the blind auditions since she got the good favors of the four coaches. Everyone turned to have him on their team. “You’re a showgirl, you’re beautiful, you’re fresh, you’re the kind of talent we dream of having, I want you on my team“, sent him a very enthusiastic Amel Bent. But in vain.

MASTER: MAMMA KNOWS BEST – JESSIE J
Maestrina (her stage name) is 21 years old and showed great intensity on stage, completely bluffing all the coaches who were quick to turn around. Florent Pagny unfortunately once again had the unpleasant surprise of finding himself blocked by Amel Bent. “You’re the most powerful and controlled voice from the start“, estimated the latter, desperate at the idea of obtaining her first Talent of the season. The compliments of the others were then quick to follow: “Impressive“, “Exceptional”“A great level“…
Maestrina join the team of Marc Lavoine.
NABILLA: WITHOUT CONVICTION – BARBARA
Nabilla is 36 years old and has been singing since she was 18 without ever having taken singing lessons. She had never thought of participating in The Voice one day until she suffered a serious bicycle accident a year ago. Nabilla then found herself unable to speak, and therefore to sing, for a long time. Since she was cured, she no longer wants to let any opportunity slip away. His very particular and singular voice captivated the four coaches and all, with the exception of Florent Pagny, buzzed to face him. “You upset us, you’re offbeat, that’s what’s beautiful about this program“, rejoiced Vianney.
