Five years since he sat down in his imposing red armchair, as part of a traditional season.
This Saturday, February 10, Mika made her return to “The Voice” on TF 1, during the first blind auditions of this new season.
If he is already experienced, with eight participations and two victories thanks to Kendji Girac in 2014 and Whitney in 2019, the 40-year-old singer had to face formidable opponents: Zazie, victorious in the last edition with Aurélien Vivos, but also Vianney and Bigflo and Oli, all ready to take their revenge.
So facing him, they brought out the heavy artillery.
And the little teasing.
Faced with Stolt, the first talent to present himself to the coaches, Vianney did not hesitate to charge his comrade.
While the candidate wanted to perfect his texts in French, the interpreter of “Pas là”, “N'attendons pas” or even “Comment on fait” recalled that all were specialists… “perhaps least one of them between us ".
So aiming at Mika, most of whose songs are in English.
“There is one that is more off-road,” his rival explained.
Who, stung, refused to be compared to… “a 4 x 4”!
Nickname: “the snake”
A little later, young Manuela, in tears after a lovely cover of Jacques Brel's “Quand on n'a que l'amour”, caused another small battle.
Mika did not hesitate to use her “super-block”, preventing Zazie from being selected by the singer.
Immediate response: she came to question her... and advise her not to choose her colleague.
But without succeeding, however, he welcomed this candidate into his workforce.
A success for the one nicknamed “the snake” by the other coaches, “a rattlesnake” good friend.
Because after this first evening, the author of “Relax”, “Grace Kelly” and “Elle me dit” got hold of Manuela, but also the astonishing Lance Priester and his version of “Creep” by Radiohead as well as Gabriel Lobao, who clearly stands out as one of the favorites of the season.
However, he had his neck “wrung” by Vianney, according to Bigflo.
The thirty-year-old stole Maëva from him at the end of the evening, thus joining Aprile in his purse.

Zazie has already collected Stolt, Hamid and Alphonse, vocal double of Jacques Brel.
The two rappers Bigflo and Oli are the ones who are doing the least well with only Jacinta and her song in Spanish.
