The popular "Sweet Voice" children 's "The Voice Kids" program came under widespread criticism on social media platforms after the jury - made up of singers Nancy Ajram, Assi Al-Halani and Mohamed Hamaki - was excluded by the Egyptian child Heidi Mohamed.

The criticism came on the third episode, which was broadcast last Saturday on "MBC", after the third season's jury praised the child's performance and the sweetness of her voice after presenting the song "This is my night" to the late singer Umm Kulthum.

Heidi drew the attention of the audience, "The Sweetest Voice", by performing a great song for the East Planet, and yet she could not persuade one of the coaches to choose it, which angered the audience who used the communication sites to express their opinion.

Some commentators considered that the position of the jury was "unfair" for the child, especially after the official account of the program was published on YouTube to test Heidi's performance and achieved thousands of views accompanied by negative comments about the program's work mechanisms, and the jury's criteria for selecting talent before the video was deleted.

A number of celebrities also expressed their solidarity with Heidi and their questions about her exclusion from the competition, including Egyptian actors Khaled El-Nabawy and Sherif Ramzy.

Several claims and offers have been put forward to support the girl technically and present her in a new way away from the competitions program, especially after the success and public support that she achieved after the presentation of the video of her song, but her crisis with the "sweetest voice" raises several questions about modern competition programs that rely on the opinions of the jury as well as the views of the public On the criteria for selecting the winners and supporting the contestants, to what extent may the views of these committees conflict with the public, and what is the ruling?

Heidi certainly participated in the competition and is filled with ambition and desire to succeed, can praise and admiration be considered a sign of the desired success, especially since the audience and his opinion is the goal for the success of a mass art such as singing, especially since the jury was originally artists who supported them and made their success, is it sufficient to support the audience For the success of a talented girl or her loss of support for the competitions program is irreplaceable?

Heidi is still 12 years old and is a middle school student. She lives in a village in Beheira Governorate (North). She trained in the Egyptian opera for three years, then Damanhour Opera before moving to a private academy at Damanhour Culture Palace after the master Salim Sahab discovered her talent five years ago, and she participates in parties at Cairo Opera and Damanhur theaters and the Palace of Culture theater, to what extent these programs affect The next generations march?
