The Voice Kids is a Dutch television program produced by Talpa Productions and is broadcast on RTL 4. It is based on The Voice of Holland. Participation is only open to children between the ages of eight and fourteen.
The first season aired between 27 January and 23 March 2012. It was presented by Martijn Krabbé and Wendy van Dijk. The coaching was done by Angela Groothuizen, Marco Borsato, and Nick & Simon. The winner was Fabiënne Bergmans from Team Angela, marking Groothuizen's first and only win as a coach.
Four judges/coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance (about ninety seconds) to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team. If two or more judges want the same singer (as happens frequently), the singer has the final choice of coach.
In the second stage, called the battle phase, coaches have three of their team members battle against each other directly by singing the same song together, with the coach choosing which team member to advance from each of individual "battles" into the Sing-Off stage.
Each coach brought his or her team after the "Battle" back to five acts, but there were only two candidates to the final. All five contestants will battle each other in "The Sing-Off", where they re-sung their audition song. The coaches then selected two of the five contestants to move to the live finals.
Selecting the three finalists was based on two aspects, voting by the three coaches and televoting by viewers at home. Both the coaches and the public each had up to one-hundred points to give to their favorite finalist.
Channah, Lieke, and Melissa were immediately eliminated. Then were the finalists Dave, Fabiënne, and Vajèn.
