To say the news surprised is an understatement.
On April 26, during the announcement of the semi-final of “The Voice” broadcast live this Saturday, May 14, TF1 formalized the new rule.
Finished the final choice among the four candidates favored by the public.
From now on, only one talent will qualify in each team.
“Frankly, we did not take it very well for friends”, recognizes Caroline Costa, who will face Loris at Marc Lavoine.
“It was a little clap of thunder for us”, abounds Lou Dassi at Florent Pagny.
"And above all, it was the emotional lift," adds Pauline Nagy, on the side of Vianney.
Because at the end of the “super cross battles” broadcast last week, Amel Bent and Vianney had pulled out of the game by each saving three singers in their team.
Except that with this new rule, each candidate will therefore only have a one in three chance of qualifying.
Against a chance in two for artists coached by Marc Lavoine and Florent Pagny.
“Fortunately, we do not compete with each other, recognizes Vike, at Amel Bent.
We are all very good friends and whoever qualifies, we will be happy.

Loris, at Marc Lavoine, had been drafted by Nolwenn
Another major change: the return of Nolwenn Leroy, with an important role.
Because if the new recruit had been able to disappoint, by being little present despite her role of "good fairy" offering a second chance to those who failed the blind auditions, this time she will have a major importance.
The 39-year-old singer will be able to save a talent among the six semi-finalists eliminated.
He will thus be the representative of the “Team Nolwenn” and will go to the final like the qualified people from the other coaches.
“But we mainly focus on our performance and we try not to think about this possibility”, recognizes Mary Milton, at Amel Bent.
Enough to raise some questions, because among the ten semi-finalists, there is always Loris, today with Marc Lavoine, but whom Nolwenn Leroy had accompanied to the battles.
“Yes, I was drafted by her, yes, she gave me the opportunity to be in the semi-finals today, but the goal is not to do everything so that she saves me again , he believes.
Inevitably, we have already had a contact.
But I think Nolwenn is very smart and brave, she's not afraid to choose someone she's never worked with.
She will know how to make the right choice, decide who deserves it the most in her eyes.
