here are the four finalists of season 13 (with a surprise from Camille Lellouche)

TELEVISION – See you in the final. At the start of the evening, there were only eight left, but this Saturday, May 18 on TF1, the semi-finals of The Voice finally nominated four candidates, without forgetting a major surprise reserved for the coaches and finalists of this thirteenth season.

But there are several surprises during this semi-final. Starting with the return of four family guests The Voice, who came to decide between the eight semi-finalists. Thus, the winner of the last season Aurélien Vivos was there, as well as Anne Sila (All-Stars edition) Jérémy Frérot (season 3) and Abi Bernadoth (season 9). And it was therefore up to them to have the heavy task of choosing (up to 20%) the singers authorized to join the last week of competition. The vote of the public present in the room accounted for 80% of the vote.

To convince this panel of experts and amateurs, the two talents of each coach competed, and as Nikos summed it up perfectly: “ every 30 minutes a finalist » was known. After the face-to-face duels in each team, the two candidates from each coach were also able to take part in a trio with their respective mentors.

Duel for a place in the final

In the Vianney team, it was Odem and Baptiste Sartoria who faced each other. A duel ultimately won by the former high-level athlete, who had resumed Sing by Florent Pagny. He won with 56.4% of the votes against Odem.

In the Mika team, Clément and Gabriel Lobao were decided on two great classics: Sky Fall of Adele for the first and Letter to France by Michel Polnareff for the second. A second duel without much surprise since Gabriel Lobao obtained the four votes of the guest jury and 81.6% of the votes.

More contested, the duel between Zazie’s team ended with the victory of Alphonse against Lisa, during a musical clash where the two young artists opted for a French song by Jean-Jacques Goldman or Charles Aznavour. But it is Alphonse who reaches the final with 59% of the votes.

Finally, the Bigflo and Oli team had a lot of difficulty deciding between them. On one side Adnaé, on the other Iris. Two very different candidates who gave the jury and the public a hard time, who ultimately opted for the resumption ofAnd I sing by Gérard Lenorman, who managed to convince 54.3% of voters.

Camille Lellouche arrives

An evening full of emotion for the coaches, as for their foals, the semi-final of The Voice finally revealed his final surprise in the last seconds of the program. A surprise which had been announced since the start of the evening by Nikos, who had for the occasion promised that it would even concern the coaches Mika, Vianney, Zazie and Bigflo and Oli.

And how can we prove him wrong by discovering their reaction when Nikos revealed that a fifth candidate would also participate in the grand finale of season 13. Indeed, this season Camille Lellouche played the role of second chance coach for the candidates eliminated all throughout the route. The singer herself revealed by The Voice had then chosen to keep the candidate Shanys, who had not survived the passage of “cross battles” and had been forced to reluctantly leave Zazie’s team.

Upon discovering the candidate kept until the end of the adventure, Zazie was over the moon and welcomed this idea for the show to allow Shanys to compete in the final thanks to this alternative route. Two women and three men will therefore compete next Saturday to win the final of The Voice.
