If a new season of The Voice Kids has just been launched in France, our Belgian neighbors will have to wait a few more weeks before being able to watch the eleventh season of the cult show. On the program: surprises galore as well as a new quartet of coaches. For this new edition, two new personalities will take their place in the red armchairs. First of all, Mentissa, revealed in season 10 of the French version of the program, but also the famous rapper Hatik whose title Angela, released in 2019, has become iconic. Both will have the difficult task of sharing their experience with the candidates in order to guide them throughout the adventure. Beverly Jo Scott, known as BJ Scott, emblematic figure of the show, will be back on the set. Since her debut in tele-hook, the one we nicknamed the “mamma” has been very popular with candidates and viewers. Finally, the artist should join his faithful sidekick Christophe Willem who was taking his first steps as a coach in the previous season.
As the launch of this new edition of The Voice, a question seems to arouse the interest of viewers: What are the salaries of coaches? At the start of the show, personalities like Mika and Florent Pagny would have been paid graciously, receiving salaries of around 900,000 euros each season. However, the economic crisis would have pushed the first channel to revise wages downwards. According to rumors, “old” of the show such as Amel Bent or Vianney would now receive the sum of 300,000 euros. Figures that have never been confirmed. Regarding the “Kids” version of the program, the coaches would be paid less. According to information reported by Gala, Slimane would receive around 140,000 euros.

Contracts worth 100,000 euros
The salaries of coaches The Voice Belgium may seem modest in comparison to those of their French counterparts. However, the RTBF is rather generous towards the artists. Our colleagues from Cine TV Review report that the average salaries of Belgian coaches are quite respectable insofar as “the territory is smaller and the production costs lower”. For one season, they would earn around 100,000 euros. The contracts of the newcomers, meanwhile, would start at 65,000 euros.
It is important to note that the salaries of coaches generally vary according to their notoriety, their experience in the musical universe and their role in the show. More established stars and historical coaches can therefore claim higher salaries. One thing is certain, it is that the French version or the Belgian version, the figures announced make you dizzy.
