The Voice Season 6: Notable Changes and New Surprises

The Voice returns for its sixth season, bringing with it a host of surprises and radical changes to the show's format and the nature of the contestants' confrontations, all within a renewed framework aimed at discovering the most exciting Arab singing talents.

It's worth noting that the new season will begin with the "Voice Only" stage, move on to the confrontations stage, then the advanced challenges, and finally the grand finals, which will crown only one winner from among three competitors who have reached the final stage.

The sixth season of "The Voice" will begin airing on MBC1, MBC Iraq, and MBC Masr, starting Wednesday, October 29, at 9:30 PM Saudi time, promising an exceptional season and a special weekly episode.

After the six episodes of this stage are completed, each coach forms a team of 12 talents, bringing the total number of qualified talents to 36.

Each coach will have five matches within his team, at the end of which he will select five talents to advance to the next stage, with the possibility of snatching only one talent from the other teams.

After three episodes of these competitions, 18 talents (6 from each team) qualify for the final stage, from which 3 contestants are selected to compete in the final episode for the title of "Best Voice."

Ahmed Saad Artist Ahmed Saad emphasized that talent knows no age or time, pointing out that he has always contributed to discovering beautiful voices even before becoming a coach on the program. Saad said, “I consider myself the most deserving of this seat on The Voice, as I have spent my life learning and listening to different styles of singing, from religious praise to Indian and Spanish music.” He added that what makes him turn to his chair is the different quality of his voice, the control of his throat, and above all, the sincere feeling that he senses deep within him. He pointed out that he frequently uses the element of “snatching” between teams, adding, “I always try to ensure that my team includes the best voices.”

Rahma Riyadh Artist Rahma Riad expressed her great confidence that the winner of the title would be from her team, commenting, "The title belongs to me." She noted that The Voice is distinguished by its complete focus on the voice, without being influenced by appearance or nationality, noting that the experience resembles her youthful energy and the enthusiasm of the contestants.

Rahma Riad continued: "Nassif and I have had a similar experience before, so we understand the fear of standing on stage and feel the anxiety of the contestants when we don't turn to them." Regarding her selection, she explained that she included 12 talents from Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Sudan, Lebanon, Iraq, and Palestine, noting that the program was filled with excitement, especially after Ahmed Saad snatched two votes from her and Nassif Zeytoun snatched one.

Nassif Zeytoun In this context, artist Nassif Zeytoun revealed that he closely shares the contestants' experience, having lived it in his early days when he stood before a jury on a talent show.

He said: "I remember the nervousness I felt then, so I completely understand the feelings of today's contestants. It's unfortunate to say no to a good talent just because the number of seats is limited, but a decision must be made." As for his criteria for selecting voices, he explained that he focuses on a beautiful, honest voice, emphasizing that he doesn't only choose those who sing his genre: "It's a mistake to look for only those who resemble us, as diversity is the secret to distinction in bands." He concluded his remarks by saying: "I have chosen the 12 best talents I have heard, and I am proud of each and every one of them."
