“
“The Voice”
has been shaping the French scene for several years like no other show.
»
On January 17 in the Lendit studios in Saint-Denis,
Rémi Faure
rightly highlighted the considerable impact of the singing competition produced by ITV Studios France.
“As much by the known talents who came out of it like Kendji Girac, Slimane, Amir, Claudio Capéo, Louane, Camille Lellouche, Fréro Delavega and more recently Mentissa.
As for those we know less
,” added the director of streaming programs for the TF1 group.

“When I arrived during the third season, the media wondered why “The Voice” was not able to launch careers. That was the case at that time,”
Mika
said a little later
during the press conference presenting season 13 of the telecrochet.
“Today, if there is one version of “The Voice” that manages to launch careers, it is the one made in France.
In England, not a single person has left.
In the United States, nothing either even though they have two seasons a year.
They never launched a career.

Streaming streams in the hundreds of millions in the United States
The British themselves recognize that none of the winners of the twelve seasons of “The Voice UK” broadcast since 2012 have had a great career.
However, the results are not completely zero.
Becky Hill
, a semi-finalist in the first season, notably reached number one in the UK charts with her debut single titled
Gecko
.
Now aged 29, she is a recognized artist with several albums to her credit, including several collaborations with David Guetta, and various awards.
In the United States, NBC has produced 25 seasons since 2001 and, contrary to what Mika claims, many artists saw their careers take off after their time on “The Voice”.
If their success did not necessarily cross the Atlantic to spread to France and the rest of Europe, it allowed them to perform across the vastness of the American territory.
Among the hundreds of talents revealed, the most bankable is
Cassadee Pope
, winner of season 3 in 2012 on Blake Shelton's team.
According to data provided by the company Luminate, this country pop singer (the musical style that revealed a certain Taylor Swift), who has several hits in her discography, has sold nearly a million albums in the United States and has accumulated 336 million streams.
The global success of Loren Allred
For
Danielle Bradbery
, winner of season 4, the streaming streaming count stands at 580 million for nearly 850,000 copies of her albums sold.
Just that.
The phenomenon
Jordan Smith
, winner of the ninth edition alongside Adam Levine, has sold 730,000 albums and recorded 138 million plays of his tracks online.
Examples among others.
The most unusual story regarding Mika's claim is certainly that of
Loren Allred
.
In 2021, as part of the all-star edition of “The Voice”, the Lebanese coach got excited and activated his buzzer during the blind auditions while listening to the cover of
Never enough
by Amalya Delpierre.
A world-famous title carried by the film
The Greatest Showman
, the soundtrack of which has sold more than 6 million copies since 2017. If the actress Rebecca Ferguson gives the impression of being the original performer in the feature -feature, the voice is in fact that of Loren Allred, American singer revealed... in season 3 of “The Voice” in 2012.
