This Tuesday, January 17, there was a press conference organized to present the twelfth season of “The Voice”. “A buzz and life changes”, warns Matthieu Grelier, program director at ITV Studio, which produces the TF1 hook TV program. And for this new vintage, there will exceptionally be five coaches. Indeed, Zazie will make her comeback after four years of absence. The singer will be alongside Amel Bent, Vianney, and for the first time a duo composed of Big Flo and Oli. And not everyone has the same opinion on the changes that will be made this year.
Indeed, the famous first test of the battles, which follows the blind auditions has been redesigned. The goal ? That the coaches are as close as possible to their talents. The jurors will indeed take place on a seat in the center of the stage. A novelty that appeals to Toulouse residents, newcomers to the adventure. “We liked it. We are more involved, we have the impression of supporting our talents more“, they specified. Same story on the side of Vianney who explains: “It’s like at a concert, we’re in the front row two meters away from them. But at the time of the debrief, there is less distance between us, this is not the time to escape either“.”It’s more intense“, indicates Zazie for her part.
Amel Bent not satisfied with the changes made
But for his part, Amel Bent had a little trouble getting used to this scenic novelty. “I’m telling the truth, it took me a long time, at first I didn’t like it“, admits the singer revealed by the New Star. Before adding: “I did not have the impression of being a spectator of a concert, but of being on stage. For me the look is super important, and when my talents sing, I send them lots of stuff by looking at them. Being cut off from that bond was hard on me; depending on talent. There were some for whom I was less afraid, so I was able to experience it more calmly. There are performances that I really liked, and others where I hated being there.
