The Voice Senior (Russian: Голос. 60+) is a Russian singing competition television series broadcast on Channel One. Based on the original The Voice Senior, it has aired one season and aims to find currently unsigned singing talent (solo or duets, professional and amateur) contested by aspiring singers, age 60 or over, drawn from public auditions. The winner will be determined by television viewers voting by telephone, SMS text, and The Voice App. The winners of the two seasons have been: Lidia Muzaleva and Leonid Sergienko.
The series employs a panel of four 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. The original panel featured Leonid Agutin, Pelageya, Lev Leshchenko, and Valery Meladze; the panel for the upcoming second season features Pelageya, Leshchenko, Valeria, and Mikhail Boyarsky.
The Voice Senior began airing on September 14, 2018,[1] as an autumn TV season programme. The series premiered its second season on September 13, 2019.
Conception
An adaptation of the Dutch show The Voice Senior, Channel One announced the show under the name Голос. 60+ (The Voice. 60+).
In each season, the winner receives ₽1,000,000.
Selection process and format
- Blind auditions
Each season begins with the "Blind auditions," where coaches form their team of artists (4 artists since season 1) 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 "Я выбираю тебя" ("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.
- Knockouts
The Knockouts are similar to the Sing-offs in The Voice Kids. In the "Knockout Rounds," four (or five) artists within a team sing individual performances in succession. At the conclusion of the performances, coach would decide which two of four (or five) artists get to advance to the Final.
- Final
In the final live performance phase of the competition, artists perform in live show, where public voting narrows to a final group of four artists and eventually declares a winner.
- Addition
In each season alongside with the determining of the winner, television viewers vote for the best season coach using The Voice App and HbbTV option in their TV sets.
