“Calm down”, “She’s too comfortable over there”, “Condescending as possible“…For the first blind auditions of season 13 of The Voice, the most beautiful voice
broadcast this Saturday, February 10 on TF1, one talent left more of an impression than all the others: Aprile. The young woman was strongly criticized on social networks, and if her tone of voice was unanimous among the coaches who all four turned around, her behavior after her performance somewhat disturbed fans of the program. Indeed, after having made everyone agree on Vampire by Olivia Rodrigo, the young woman took a long time to choose Vianney, and even made the unilateral decision to bring her family onto the scene, to help her choose. An attitude considered pedantic by viewersand which also left the coaches speechless: “But she has the right to do that?”
For several long minutes, the 20-year-old young woman put on the show, and made coaches and viewers alike languish. After a long hesitation, she finally chose Vianney. A sequence that viewers considered interminable, and which seems not to have worked in the young woman’s favor: “She got me drunk there”, “She was too boring”, “She’s too forceful”, “What a cinema, oh my” are so many criticisms which, however, were offset by the many people who praised the singer’s vocal performance. Aprile was also able to count on the support of Nikos, who, in view of the numerous criticisms aimed at her, tempered by posting a photo of Vianney’s talent to congratulate her.
Worst historical score for a launch of “The Voice”
The launch of season 13 of The Voice disappointed, realizing the lowest historical launch of the program, all seasons combined. In fact, the program brought together in its first part only 4.09 million viewers and 34.7% market share among women under the age of fifty. The second part caught the attention of 4 million faithful, showing the FRDA-50 scores at 43%. If the target scores are very good, the overall score is however in a clear decline: in 2023, season 12 was launched in front of 4.77 million viewers and in 2022, 5.22 million fans responded. Worse still, in 2021, just three years ago, 6.31 million viewers watched the first episode of season 10. The launch of
The Voice
does even worse than the final of the
star Academy
broadcast a week earlier, and which attracted attention in its main part 4.27 million fans and 41.4% of housewives.
