The Voice Kids is a Russian reality television singing competition broadcast on Channel One. Based on the original The Voice of Holland, the concept of the series is to find currently unsigned singing talent (solo or duets, professional and amateur) contested by aspiring singers, age 7 to 14, drawn from public auditions. The winner is determined by television viewers voting by telephone, SMS text, and The Voice Kids App.

The winners of the four seasons have been: Alisa Kozhikina, Sabina Mustaeva, Danil Pluzhnikov, and Elizaveta Kachurak.

The series employs a panel of three coaches who critique the artists' performances and guide their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. Members of the coaching panel include Dima Bilan, Pelageya (seasons 1—3), Maxim Fadeev (seasons 1—2), Leonid Agutin (season 3), Nyusha (season 4), and Valery Meladze (season 4).

The Voice Kids began airing on 28 February 2014, as a winter-spring TV season program. The show proved to be a hit for Channel One. The series premiered its fourth season on 17 February 2017.

Conception

An adaptation of the Dutch show The Voice Kids, Channel One announced the show under the name The Voice Kids.

In each season, the winner receives ₽500,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group.

Selection process and format

Each season begins with the "Blind Auditions," where coaches form their team of artists (15 artists in each team) whom they mentor through the remainder of the season. The coaches' chairs are faced towards the audience during artists' performances; those interested in an artist press their button, which turns their chair towards the artist and illuminates the bottom of the chair to read "I want you." At the conclusion of the performance, an artist either defaults to the only coach who turned around, or selects his or her coach if more than one coach expresses interest.

In the "Battle Rounds," each coach groups three of his or her team members to perform together, then chooses one to advance in the competition.

In the Sing-off Rounds five artists within a team sing individual performances in succession. The artists get to sing their "Blind Auditions" songs in this round. At the conclusion of the performances, coaches would decide which two of five artists get to advance to the next round.

But as with season 2 each coach bring back three artists who were eliminated in the Sing-offs. These artists advances to the special stage – "Live Playoffs". Three artists from the each team sing live and two of them eliminate by the end of night. One saved by the Public's vote artist advances to the Final in the each team.

In the final phase of the competition, artists perform in live show, where public voting narrows to a final group of three artists from all teams and eventually declares a winner.
