The Voice Senior was a German reality talent show created by John de Mol, based on the concept The Voice of Germany. However, participation is only open for candidates more than 60 years old.[1] It began airing on December 23, 2018 on Sat.1, but after the second season the producers and the tv channel cancelled the show, due to low ratings.[2]
There were four different stages to the show: producers' auditions, blind auditions, sing-offs, and finale. There have been two winners: Dan Lucas (64) and Monika Smets (68).
The show was originally presented by current hosts of The Voice of Germany, Lena Gercke and Thore Schölermann. The coaches were feature familiar faces from The Voice of Germany and The Voice Kids, including Mark Forster, The BossHoss, Yvonne Catterfeld, Sasha Schmitz and Michael Patrick Kelly.[3]
The German version of The Voice Senior was the third version of The Voice Senior produced worldwide, after the original Dutch version and the Russian version.
Format
The show adopts the same format as The Voice of Germany, but only four episodes are planned.
Blind auditions
Similar to multiple The Voice versions, in the Blind Audition, the contestant sings in front of the coaches and the live audience in the studio. Since the coaches' chairs turn their backs to the stage, they can only hear and cannot see the contestant. By pressing the red button in front of them, the chair turns towards the stage, thus the contestant is chosen to join the coach's team. If a contestant receives more than one chair turn, he/she will have the right to choose which team they want to join.
The Blind Audition is taped at Studio Adlershof in Berlin.
Sing offs
In the second phase, the five contestants from each team perform a song. Only two of them are selected by their coach to advance to the final round.
Live finale
In the last phase, the live finale, the remaining two contestants in each team first compete against each other. The respective coach then makes the decision as to which artist moves into the top 4. Then the four remaining artists from each team sing a second song, and this time televoting determines who will be The Voice Senior winner.
Production
On December 17, 2017, Sat.1 announced they would produce a new singing competition for singers over the age of 60, entitled Talpa's The Voice Senior.[4] On June 29, 2018, the coaching panel for the first season was confirmed with Mark Forster, The BossHoss, and Yvonne Catterfeld, all of whom have been coaches in the adult version, as well as Sasha Schmitz, who was previously a coach on The Voice Kids. On May 22, 2019, Michael Patrick Kelly was announced to make the switch from The Voice of Germany to replace Forster for the second season.
Hosts of The Voice of Germany Thore Schölermann and Lena Gercke, announced that they would also host The Voice Senior.
