The Voice Portugal

The Voice Kids is the junior version of The Voice Portugal, broadcast on RTP1, with competitors between the ages of seven and fifteen. The first season premiered in 2014, and the show did not come back for a second season until 2021.[1] In April 2019, RTP1 announced a reboot of the show, which was set to premiere in 2020, but ended up being postponed due to the COVID-19 restrictions.

Since 2021, the competition has been used to select the artist that represents Portugal in the Junior Eurovision Song Contest.

History

The first season premiered on 28 September 2014, with Daniela Mercury, Anselmo Ralph, and Raquel Tavares as coaches, and presented by Mariana Monteiro and Vasco Palmeirim. In April 2019, RTP1 announced a reboot for the kids' version. Starting in 2021, the second season featured a new host, Catarina Furtado, and a coaching panel of four new coaches: Carlão, Fernando Daniel, Carolina Deslandes, and Marisa Liz. The third season premiered on 8 May 2022 with Bárbara Tinoco replacing Liz, while Carlão, Daniel, and Deslandes continued on the show as coaches.
