The Voice Kids is a Dutch television program produced by Talpa Productions and is broadcast on RTL 4. It is based on The Voice of Holland. Participation is only open to children between the ages of eight and fourteen.

The first season aired between 27 January and 23 March 2012. It was presented by Martijn Krabbé and Wendy van Dijk. The coaching was done by Angela Groothuizen, Marco Borsato, and Nick & Simon. The winner was Fabiënne Bergmans from Team Angela

The Blind Auditions

Four judges/coaches, all noteworthy recording artists, choose teams of contestants through a blind audition process. Each judge has the length of the auditioner's performance (about ninety seconds) to decide if he or she wants that singer on his or her team. If two or more judges want the same singer (as happens frequently), the singer has the final choice of coach.

The Sing-Off

Each coach brought his or her team after the "Battle" back to five acts, but there were only two candidates to the final. All five contestants will battle each other in "The Sing-Off", where they re-sung their audition song. The coaches then selected two of the five contestants to move to the live finals.
