The Voice Kids 2019 continued this evening with its third round of blind auditions of the new series – here are all the performances to watch.
Will.i.am, Pixie Lott and Danny Jones return for the third series alongside new coach, Jessie J.
The Voice Kids is open to talented singers between the ages of seven and 14 with soloists and – for the first time – duos able to apply.
A £30,000 bursary towards their musical education plus a dream family holiday to Florida will be awarded to the winner.
But in order to be in with a shot of scooping that prize, contestants must first win a spot on one of the four teams at the blind auditions.
Just like in the adult version, the young singers perform together with a live band to the backs of the coaches, hoping to get at least one to spin around.
If a coach decides to press their button and turn, they’ll secure that act for their team. If an act gets more than one coach spinning, it’s up to the contestant to decide 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 third round of the blind auditions…
Jazzy B
11-year-old Jazzy B opened this week’s auditions with a cover of If I Go by Ella Eyre. The young singer from Basingstoke got all four coaches to turn and ultimately picked to join team Jessie who told her: “I would do anything to have you on my team.”
