The Voice Kids RECAP! All the blind auditions from the first week

The Voice Kids 2019 returned tonight for its first round of blind auditions of the new series – here are all the performances.

Will.i.am, Pixie Lott and Danny Jones are back in the spinning red chairs for series 3 this summer – together with new coach Jessie J.

Once more hosted by Emma Willis, The Voice Kids is open to talented young soloists between the ages of seven and 14.

Up for grabs for the winner is a £30,000 bursary towards their musical education plus a dream family holiday to Orlando.

The public will ultimately crown the winner of The Voice Kids 2019 but the first step is winning a spot on one of the three teams at the blind auditions.

Just like in the adult version, the young singers perform their chosen song to a live band – but can they get the coaches to hit their buttons?

As always, if a coach decides to press their buzzer, they’ll secure that act for their team. Should more than one coach turn, it’ll be the kid who has the power to pick which team to join.

And even if no coaches press their buzzer, they will all still spin at the end of the performance so they can give feedback and encouragement.

Here’s a recap of tonight’s first round of the blind auditions…

Alfie and Ava

9-year-old Ave and 10-year-old Alfie are best friends from Scotland. They performed Photograph by Ed Sheeran for their blind audition to get Will.i.am to turn for them, joining his team.

Ivy

12-year-old Ivy is from Bromley. She put a spin on *NSYNC classic Bye Bye Bye and her cover got all four coaches to turn. With a full house to pick from, Ivy chose to join Team Danny.

Charley

13-year-old Charley from South Wales sang Ex-Factor by Lauryn Hill at her blind audition, winning turns from Jessie, Will and Danny. Charley chose to join Team Jessie.
