This Saturday evening was the live semi-final of The Voice, the most beautiful voice on TF1. A surprise awaits viewers. Suffering, Nikos Aliagas, legendary telecrochet presenter gave way to Alessandra Sublet, host of It’s Canteloup who announced to leave the French channel at the end of the season. “I want to kiss you very much and wish you a good recovery. I like you“, she said to her sick colleague. She then heard from Florent Pagny, marked by his fight against lung cancer. The interpreter of “Savoir aime” appeared with a small scarf and slightly smoked blue glasses. He reassures his audience: “I’m very good!”
A kiss later for Nikos, the show could take place. With her three talents, the young mother, Amel Bent opens the ball. Doryan Ben tackles Whitney Houston, Mary Milton performs on Celine Dion and Vike touches the public with Serge Lama. The great voices are out. After the three performances, Amel Bent and his talents meet on stage to sing “Kiss” by Prince. Verdict after counting the votes: Vike is the first qualified candidate for the final.
Make way for Florent Pagny’s team and the two youngest contestants, Lou Dassi and Nour, former candidate for The Voice Kids. The first sang “Voilà” by Barbara Pravi. The second tackled “Rise up” by Andra Ray. Florent Pagny was moved by the interpretation of his two protégés whom he found on stage to sing Edith Piaf’s “The crowd”. In the end, the audience chooses to save Nour.
It is up to Pauline, the only Belgian still in the running in telecrochet, to be the first to enter the arena when the time has come for Vianney’s talents to take the stage. The 19-year-old Namuroise performs “I tell you anyway”, a title by Patrick Bruel that suits her like a glove. “I will put my heart, my past and my story in this song”, says the young woman who exchanged several knowing glances with her coach during the performance. “You are amazing“, launches Vianney to him.She has this kind of darkness and light at the same time“, declares, for his part Amel Bent.
Mister Mat is the second talent from Vianney to come forward. The man with the hoarse voice chooses to interpret “No, I do not regret anything” by Edith Piaf. After her performance, Alessandra Sublet sends a new wink to Nikos. “Normally, I am in front of my teloch, as a spectator. Tonight, Nikos is in front of his TV. Good evening friend.“
Louise completes the passage of the Vianney team behind her piano. His song from the Antony and Johnsons repertoire makes Nolwenn Leroy cry, who admits to having been “transported“by the performance of the young woman.
The three talents then sing Daniel Balavoine’s “I am not a hero” with Vianney. Mister Mat is saved by the public.
Finally, it’s the turn of Loris and Caroline Costa who make up Marc Lavoine’s team. Caroline Costa emerges as the big winner of the duel but Loris is saved by Nolwenn Leroy who was entitled to a repechage. “Loris in the final, it’s been my belief from the start“, said the surprised coach.
The finalists of this eleventh season of The Voice, the most beautiful voice are therefore known. They are Vike, Nour, Mister Mat, Caroline Costa and Loris. See you next Saturday for the telecrochet grand finale.
