The Voice singing competition is celebrating its 10th anniversary with an All Stars version, which kicks off this Saturday, September 11. Return on the show which has become cult in 10 figures.
180 countries
Originally created in Holland by the founder of Endemol, the concept of The Voice has been rolled out in many countries across the globe. This does not prevent some candidates from trying their luck away from home, like Lenni-Kim, who participated in The Voice Kids in France, in 2015, which allowed him to launch a career of both sides of the Atlantic.
16 coaches
Adult and kids versions combined, 16 of them have taken their places in the red armchairs: Florent Pagny, Jenifer, Garou, Louis Bertignac, Mika, Zazie, Matt Pokora, Pascal Obipso, Soprano, Julien Clerc, Amel Bent, Marc Lavoine, Lara Fabian, Vianney, Patrick Fiori, and Kendji Girac. The next seasons should welcome Louane and Julien Doré, he whispers to himself.
1770 TALENT
went through The Voice and The Voice Kids. Production teams recruit talent by watching videos posted on the Net or going to concerts. A casting is also launched to recruit talents. In 2021, nearly 10,000 anonymous were “cast”, reports Le Parisien, 400 to 500 of them were physically approached, and 122 candidates passed the auditions blind, including a little more than one. hundred will be broadcast.
343 buzz
make Florent Pagny the biggest “buzzer” of the show. It must be said that the singer holds the record for participations (eight). Regarding the jurors who have the most victories, the interpreter of Savoir Aimer also occupies the first position with three victories. He is followed in the standings by Zazie and Mika, who each have two wins each.
3 women
only The Voice, Maëlle Pistoïa (season 7), Whitney Marin (season 8) and Marghe Davico (season 10) won. In the Kids version, however, we observe the opposite trend, since only one boy, Soan (season 6), won the contest.
10 MILLION ALBUMS SOLD
This is the number claimed by the show. According to an estimate of album sales based on official figures and stopped at March 2019, it is Kendji Girac, winner of The Voice season 3, who is the best record seller in the history of The Voice. Behind him we find Louane, then Fréro Delavega and Claudio Capéo.
Between 800,000 and one million euros
that’s what a number of The Voice would cost, according to VSD. A profitable investment, since each episode would bring in 2.5 million euros, in particular thanks to digital revenues, but also to advertising spots, billed for their 95,000 euros per 30 seconds, Le Point believes.
220 PEOPLE
ensure the preparation and filming of the show, cameramen, sound technicians, but also singing teachers or a doctor and a sophrologist.
500 euros per week approximately
are paid to each candidate, reveals Télé Star, to whom Pascal Guix, artistic producer of the show, confided that “the Talents receive an artist’s fee for their services”. It is a little more for those who stay longer, because “from the battles, it is the production which takes care of everything (transport and accommodation, editor’s note) because they are part of the adventure The Voice”, had -he adds.
400,000 EUROS
at least (they are not all housed in the same boat) would be perceived by the members of the jury for one season. A comfortable salary, but much less than that of American jurors. For comparison, Ariana Grande and Katy Parry would receive $ 25 million.
