The Nine Network has confirmed several key programming changes with confirmation ath The Voice Kids will premiere on June 22 followed by new episodes of House Husbands back in its original Sunday timeslot after having struggled on Monday’s.
With four superstar Coaches seated in the world-famous big red chairs, the country’s most vocally gifted children will take to the Voice stage hoping to become Australia’s first ever winner of The Voice Kids.
The Voice Coach Joel Madden will be joined by his brother and musical partner Benji as the pair of international hit-makers head up Team Madden. Sitting alongside them on the coaching panel will be another Voice favourite, singing sensation and Australian musical phenomenon Delta Goodrem, as well as a new member of the Voice family, global pop icon Mel B.
The Coaches will nurture these incredibly talented kids with the aim of leading them to victory, as well as sharing their invaluable music knowledge and advice along the way.
These emerging young stars aged 8-14 will try to win over the Coaches using only the power of their voice in the Blind Auditions. With just 15 places available on each team, the competition will be tough and the talent will blow you away.
Once the teams are set, each Coach will dedicate themselves to developing their singers, exploring their talents and sharing advice on what they’ve learnt throughout their own successful careers.
In phase two of the competition – the Battle Rounds – the Coaches will pit three of their own team members head to head, singing the same song together in front of a studio audience. After each Battle the Coach must then choose just one of these singers to advance to the Sing-Offs.
During the Sing-Offs each artist will take to the stage in a last-ditch effort to impress their Coach and be chosen to move through to the Grand Finale. With only two spaces per team up for grabs, each Coach will be faced with the incredibly tough decision of which artists to send through.
At the Grand Finale, the top six artists will perform individually – and the Coaches must then decide which three go on to face the public vote which determines who will become the very first Voice Kids winner, taking home a $50,000 music scholarship.
Joining host Darren McMullen will be season one Voice artist and Team Joel favourite,Prinnie Stevens. As a seasoned performer and young mother, Prinnie will be backstage with the kids offering final words of encouragement and advice as they take their first step onto the stage.
The Voice Kids begins with the Blind Auditions on Sunday, June 22, at 6.30pm on Channel Nine.
Following the premiere of The Voice Kids, season three of House Husbands continues with more drama and hilarious adventure on a new night, Sundays at 9pm.
Trouble has well and truly arrived for the husbands and their families in the form of Belle (Rachel Griffiths), the ex-wife of Lewis (Gary Sweet) and mother of Lucy (Anna McGahan) and Ned (Lincoln Lewis), himself a surprise addition to the Crabb family.
The following night, The Voice makes a spectacular return with another international guest performance when supergroup Coldplay make their first Australian television appearance. No stranger to The Voice, lead singer Chris Martin was a mentor on The Voice US this year.
