The 13th season of The Voice Kids has reached its thrilling conclusion, with the live finale airing on April 18, 2025. This season, which began on February 21, has captivated audiences with its talented young contestants, all vying for a coveted prize: a training contract worth 15,000 euros and the possibility of a record deal. The format of the show has remained the same, with contestants judged solely on their vocal performances, but this year, the stakes are higher than ever.
Coaches Stefanie Kloß and Wincent Weiss return to the show, bringing their experience and expertise, while newcomers Ayliva and Clueso join the panel for the first time. Each coach has mentored their team of young singers, helping them hone their skills and prepare for the final showdown.
As the finale approaches, the excitement builds. The audience, rather than the coaches, will decide the winner, making for an unpredictable and nail-biting conclusion. Who will take home the title of The Voice Kids champion this year? The anticipation is palpable.
This season has showcased an impressive array of talent. From Team Wincent, three finalists have emerged: Josh (15) from Wiltshire, England, Tuana (14) from Miltenberg, and Neo (14) from near Göppingen. Each contestant has delivered powerful performances that have resonated deeply with both the coaches and the audience.
Josh captivated Wincent with his rendition of "Rise Like A Phoenix" by Conchita Wurst. Wincent expressed his admiration, saying, "I want to try to defend the title in the final with a talent and a voice that takes everyone's breath away and leaves them speechless: with Josh."
Tuana, hailing from Elsenfeld, has been a particular standout this season. Her emotional performance of "Sen Istanbul‘sun" by Gökhan Türkmen moved Wincent to tears. He described her talent as something that "really ripped my heart out, threw it on the ground, stomped on it, put it back together, and made my tear ducts explode." Her journey has also gained traction on social media, where she has gone viral, amassing millions of views across platforms like Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube.
Neo impressed Wincent with his powerful rendition of "I Have Nothing" by Whitney Houston. Wincent praised him, stating, "I chose Neo because he is the complete package of The Voice Kids. He is an incredibly talented singer, kind-hearted, and respectful."
From Team Stefanie, the finalists include Arhanna (12) from the Pölva district in Estonia, Helena (11) from the Canton of Waadt in Switzerland, and Luna (15) from Marburg. Each of these young talents has showcased remarkable abilities.
Arhanna made her mark with "Million Reasons" by Lady Gaga. Stefanie expressed her admiration, saying, "I chose Arhanna because her voice at this age is already incredibly mature and professional, and at the same time, the emotion is not lacking. This makes Arhanna a very, very wonderful finalist."
Helena, who performed "Creep" by Radiohead, was noted by Stefanie as the most talented young person she has ever seen on the show. "I chose Helena because she is the most talented young person I have ever seen on The Voice Kids," she stated.
Luna, who sang "Clown" by Emeli Sande, also impressed Stefanie. "Luna seems so grown-up, and at the same time, I notice that she has such a youthful openness and warmth in her voice," Stefanie remarked.
Team Clueso's finalists are Daryan (13) from Oldenburg, Sohum (12) from Leverkusen, and Piet (14) from Hamburg. Daryan’s performance of "Die With A Smile" by Lady Gaga and Bruno Mars earned him a spot in the final, with Clueso praising his ability to live the music. "You blow me away every time with your performance," Clueso said.
Sohum impressed with "Ocean Eyes" by Billie Eilish, a challenging song that Clueso praised for its complexity. "This is one of the most difficult songs I know because she sings very low and extremely high. You surprised me by hitting the high note at the end, and it was a wonderful, enchanting performance," he noted.
Piet showcased his unique talent by rapping and singing "Der Himmel soll warten" by Sido featuring Adel Tawil. Clueso expressed his excitement about Piet's energy, saying, "I chose Piet because he brings incredible energy to the stage. He reminds me a bit of myself: charging forward, being a little cheeky, singing, rapping, it's all there, and he’s a fighter type, which I like. I’m already excited to see what he’ll do in the final."
Team Ayliva's finalists include Malou (12) from the Canton of St. Gallen in Switzerland, Ian (15) from Dortmund, and Eva (13) from near Grevenbroich. Malou wowed Ayliva with "Impossible" by Shantelle, leading her coach to say, "When Malou starts singing, I get goosebumps everywhere. She has such a beautiful voice, so gentle, yet she can be so strong."
Ian, who performed "Until I Found You" by Stephen Sanchez, also impressed Ayliva, who noted, "It’s incredible what you do to people when you start singing. I get goosebumps every time because you have such a beautiful, personal touch."
Eva's performance of "Bust Your Windows" by Jazmine Sullivan earned her a spot in the finals, with Ayliva praising her incredible energy. "Eva belongs in the final because she has such an incredible amount of energy in her voice," she said.
As the excitement builds for the live broadcast, fans are eager to see which coach will emerge victorious. Will Wincent Weiss defend his title from last year? Can Stefanie Kloß clinch another win? Or will one of the new coaches, Ayliva or Clueso, triumph with a talent from their own team? The finale promises to be a night of unforgettable performances and nail-biting suspense.
The show will also be available in an online stream with sign language interpretation, ensuring accessibility for all viewers. As the contestants prepare to showcase their talents one last time, the excitement is palpable, and the outcome remains uncertain until the final votes are counted.
