On February 14, the broadcast of the seventh season of the show “Voice. Children". Valery Meladze, Polina Gagarina and Basta (Vasily Vakulenko) took on the responsibilities of mentors. Agatha Muceniece again joined as the host to Dmitry Nagiyev.

The season opened with a traditional performance of mentors. They specially prepared the song “Oh voice!” based on the composition of hit makers Nikki Chinn and Mike Chapman Oh Carol, beating the features of the show and their own repertoire.

Recall, “Voice. Children ”differs from the“ adult ”show in the reduced competition format. At the stage of blind auditions, mentors recruit 15 people each.

The next stages are “Fights” and “Song right through”, and the winner, according to tradition, will be revealed live using spectator voting.

The first of the contestants to enter the scene was the six-year-old Miron Dovgan from Chelyabinsk. He has a clear vision of his future career: the boy is going to enter a music school at the conservatory, and when he grows up, he plans to become a musician. He performed with a hit of the Lyube group called From the Volga to the Yenisei.

From the first notes, his number was approved by Polina Gagarina and Basta, a little later Valery Meladze joined them. Dovgan chose the latter as his mentor.

The competition was continued by Elina Khan from Kaluga. An 11-year-old singer of Korean descent decided to demonstrate her vocal abilities using the example of her own version of The Beatles - Back in The USSR

Polina Gagarina invited the young singer to her team. “Thank you, boys, for not turning,” the mentor addressed her colleagues. She described the new ward as a "storm of energy, talent and artistry."

Discussing the success of Elina, mentors at the same time said that their own children asked them not to sing at home. Only Basta managed to avoid such claims, since his children use headphones.

10-year-old Elizaveta Smetannikova, who flew to Moscow from Novosibirsk, chose the composition “Exhibit” for her performance. The participant admitted that her family (and especially dad) likes the work of Sergei Shnurov.

Valery Meladze noted that in the contestant’s number it was important not the song, but its individual performance (appreciated by all the mentors). Polina Gagarina promised the participant that she would not have to sacrifice her studies at school, and Meladze hinted that if she became his ward, teachers would respect Smetannikov.

Basta decided to bribe the girl with the opportunity to perform her dad's favorite songs. It is possible that this turned out to be a decisive factor, - Lisa joined his team.

Zelimkhan Ataev from Makhachkala, in addition to vocal talent, managed to show his choreographic skills: before going on stage, he demonstrated a "lazy lezginka" in a chair.

To the court of mentors, he presented a song in Italian Parlami d'amore, Mariu, known by such legendary singers as Placido Domingo and Dmitry Hvorostovsky.

Valery Meladze noted that Zelimkhan’s performance was touching and beautiful, but the young vocalist still lacks experience to perform such a complex song. Polina Gagarina also advised the participant to continue training.

10-year-old resident of Ryazan, Milan Volkova, conquered all the mentors with the song “Not a couple”, and then supplemented her output with a small dance number in the hip-hop style. She decided to join the team of Polina Gagarina.

The unexpectedly low voice of eight-year-old Taisiya Skomorokhova immediately made Polina Gagarin and Bastu turn around. As a result, the song Goomba Boomba in her performance, accompanied by a perky dance, caused delight of all the mentors (Gagarina even pressed the button several times in approval).

The young singer admitted that she has been professionally engaged in singing for three years - from five years old, and she invents dances herself. An artistic girl chose the team of Polina Gagarina.

Taisia ​​immediately suggested that the mentor sing the song “Angels in Dance” in a duet, and she took on the part for a lower voice, and advised the rest of the mentors to promise to come to the show next year.

13-year-old Alexander Pereplyotchikov from the village of Pavlovka, Orenburg region, is not only a vocalist, but also an athlete: he said that he could push the core 8 meters. For the stage of blind auditions, he chose the old romance "A blizzard sweeps along the street."

None of the mentors turned to the boy. Valery Meladze explained his decision by saying that Perepletchikov had already formed a classic vocal style and it would be wrong to force him to perform a pop repertoire.

Christina Siller (14 years old) from early childhood dreams of becoming a singer. But if her career did not work out, she had already decided that she would go to serve in the police.

At the stage of blind auditions, luck smiled at her - at the end of the performance Valery Meladze turned to the performer, who emphasized that the song Strange Birds did not fully reveal her vocal abilities.

A fan of the work of Freddie Mercury, Ivan Kurgalin from Veliky Novgorod, performed the song “Too In Love”. He remained in the project thanks to the intervention of Polina Gagarina: she literally begged Basta to take the participant into the team and was even ready to launch a notebook with a notebook.

The mentor turned at the very last moment and explained that Ivan’s performance of “riskiness, breakdown and drama” was not enough for him, and also noticed that such songs must be heard to the end.

The performance of Anna Bazhanova interested the mentors even before the participant began to sing: her decision to perform Michael Jackson's hit Billie Jean was an ambitious statement, but did not provide the young singer with a place in any of the teams.

Nevertheless, the mentors praised Bazhanov for his courage. In particular, Meladze admitted that he himself would not undertake to perform this composition.

The final issue number was the performance of Alice Savchits with the song Somewhere. Valery Meladze applauded the participant standing. The mentor emphasized that, in addition to his voice, he was impressed by the energy of the young singer. The contestant made a choice in favor of Basta, who also spoke very warmly about her number.
