The Voice van Vlaanderen is a Belgian reality singing competition for the Flemish part of Belgium, and which is part of the franchise that started in the Netherlands as The Voice of Holland. It kicked-off on November 25, 2011 on VTM, shortly before the francophone Belgian variant The Voice Belgique went on air. A second season of The Voice van Vlaanderen for the 2012-13 season has started. 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.

About the show

The Voice van Vlaanderen is a Belgian reality talent show for the Flemish region of Belgium. It premiered on 25 November 2011 on VTM. The show is based on the original The Voice of Holland, created by John de Mol, and is part of The Voice (franchise). To date, it has aired a total of ten seasons.

The show consists of four stages: producers' auditions, blind auditions, battle rounds, and live shows. So far, ten winners have been crowned: Glenn Claes, Paulien Mathues, Tom De Man, Lola Obasuyi, Luka Cruysberghs, Ibe Wuyts, Grace Khuabi, Louise Goedefroy, Christophe Verholle and the most recent, Bas Serra.

The coaches for the current tenth season are Koen Wauters, Mathieu Terryn, Laura Tesoro, Joost Klein and Maarten & Dorothee for the Comeback Stage. Previous coaches have included Natalia Druyts, Alex Callier, Jasper Steverlinck, Regi Penxten, Axelle Red, Bent Van Looy, Bart Peeters, Tourist LeMC, Niels Destadsbader and Jan Paternoster.

In the seventh season, Tesoro served as a fifth coach for the Comeback Stage, where eliminated contestants were given a chance to return to the competition and join the live shows. She stepped down after the ninth season and returned as a main coach in season 10, with Maarten & Dorothee taking over the Comeback Stage role.

The success of The Voice van Vlaanderen has led to the creation of spin-off shows based on its format, including The Voice Kids and The Voice Senior.
