Surprise ! For the last evening of “cross battles” this Saturday May 20, 2023 on TF1, The Voice welcomes a ghost in the person of Mika! Appointed for the occasion “super coach”, he must supervise his fellow artists Amel Bent, Zazie, Vianney and Big Flo and Oli but also and above all help the public present at the recording to be able to decide between the ultimate finalists. A golden role for the Lebanese-British singer that we were able to discover in the jury of this tele-hook during seasons 3 to 8. A choice justified by Matthieu Grelier, director of programs and development at ITV Studios France , at the launch of this twelfth season: “In this show, we have always favored the family spirit. Mika is an emblematic coach of The Voice. He marked the history of the program”, he explained before adding: “We wanted a legitimate coach in the eyes of the public and other coaches”.

Mika “is brilliant, formidable”
The producer of the show also listed all the qualities of the interpreter of Relaxwhile emphasizing his connection to the candidates’ other mentors: “Mika knows the program perfectly, he is brilliant. He was great. It made Zazie very happy to get their tandem back together, Amel (Bent) had always told us that she would have liked to do a season with him, Vianney had just record a duet song with him, etc… If we had taken someone who had nothing to do with what we had just experienced, It might have been more complicated for him.”, concluded Matthieu Grelier. Unbeatable arguments for an unclassifiable and above all… inflexible artist! And Big Flo paid the price: trying to coax the super coach into his favour, Oli’s famous brother didn’t hesitate to flatter him: “Mika is very well dressed today…” But the artist saw it coming and immediately came out with the humor that characterizes him: “Idon’t accept compliments, but checks do!” Spread the word, Mika is Back for the best of The Voice !
