The Voice: la plus belle voix season 3

The Voice: la plus belle voix (season 3) is the third season of the French reality singing competition, created by media tycoon John de Mol. It was aired from 11 January 2014 to 10 May 2013 on TF1.

One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.

Three of the coaches continued from season 2, namely were Florent Pagny, Jenifer and Garou. But the fourth coach Louis Bertignac from seasons 1 and 2 was replaced by British singer Mika. The Third Season will be announced on the finale on May 10, 2014.
