The TV Guia first reported the news: it seems the curtain is falling on one chapter and rising on another for ‘The Voice Portugal’. Nininho Vaz Maia, a familiar face, won’t be back for the show’s next season. The 37-year-old singer had a busy run, appearing in two back-to-back editions. He coached both the ‘Kids’ show and the adult competition during 2024. Now, it’s time for a change on the judging panel.
The network, RTP1, has already spilled the beans on who will guide the new hopefuls. The show is set to kick off in September. Good news for fans: Sara Correia, Sónia Tavares, and Fernando Daniel are all returning. They know the ropes, which brings a nice sense of continuity. But the real buzz is about the newest addition to the team. RTP1 is putting its big money on Calema. This duo is the channel’s fresh choice, signaling a bold new direction for the popular singing contest. It’s always interesting to see how new blood changes the dynamic. The mix of seasoned mentors and a vibrant new act should make for compelling television. The music world is always shifting, and ‘The Voice’ seems ready to shift with it.
