“And the winner is Durel”, proclaims Nikos Aliagas in front of a jubilant crowd. Aged 14, the young singer, who looks like a great man, lets his emotions burst after this finale full of twists and turns. It must be said that the evening started in style with an interpretation of “I play music” by Calogero by the composer himself accompanied by the four finalists: Durel, 14 years old, Lou-Agathe, 15 years old, Lucie, 13 years old. and Ilyana, 12 years old. If the interpreter of “Face à la mer” had been critical of the show, he ended up taking on a role, and not least, that of “super coach” for the evening.
It was Lucie, a protege of Patrick Fiori, who opened the ball with her cover of “La Grenade” by Clara Luciani. Adorned with a white dress, the blonde from Seine-et-Marne has once again shown that she knows how to handle her fluid and powerful voice, under the gaze of her coach, Patrick Fiori. “I was lucky to be on your path. You were lucky to be on mine,” he says, not without pride. After Lucie’s performance, it’s two rooms, two atmospheres. Sneakers on the feet and cargo pants, Ilyana, protected by Kendji, inaugurates the duos. Accompanied by Tayc, an artist she is very fond of, she performs one of her flagship titles “Le Temps” and delivers a show worthy of a professional.
“Lou-Agathe is already a professional”
It is then the turn of Durel. From the height of his 14 years and with a recently changed voice, he chose the “song that those under 20 cannot know” by Charles Aznavour. Dressed in a white suit and standing nimbly in front of a fake stone decor, Slimane’s protege delivers a poignant performance of “La Bohême”. Successful interpretation that ends up bringing tears to his coach. Eldest of the evening, Lou-Agathe opted for an English title, “People help the people” by Birdy. A sensitive protege of Nolwenn Leroy, she proves once again that she has everything a great. “She’s already a professional,” confirms the Breton singer. Back on stage, Lucie swapped the dress for sequined pants and appeared alongside Pascal Obispo to perform the song bearing his name. Sitting on the piano, she makes a faultless.

Remaining in a register of the last century which suits him rather well, Durel, for his part, chooses to take up Edith Piaf’s “Hymne à l’amour”. But not alone. This time, he is accompanied by Chimène Badi who steals the show from him at times…. From Diam’s to Jacques Brel, Ilyana wants to show that she shines in all registers. As a call to viewers, she takes on a solo performance of “Ne me quitte pas” by the illustrious Belgian artist. A somewhat sluggish performance which, however, allows him to prove, once again, the power of his voice, but which obviously does not convince the voters. It is now up to Lou-Agathe to prove himself one last time. Dressed in a white suit and seated on a staircase, the young girl from Sierck-les-Bains (Lorraine) has sparkling eyes. And for good reason, she resumed “Long time” with Amir, one of her favorite singers. If the latter plays on his own ground, the young singer delivers a performance that pulls a little too much in the treble. Which does not seem to faze the coaches who applaud him loudly. Then comes the moment of the announcement of the two super finalists.
“Durel has transcended everything since he has been there”
Viewers, coaches and candidates who are eager to discover the names of the two finalists must, however, take their troubles patiently for the time of a song. Accompanied by Marie Poulain, a 25-year-old blonde singer with a blue lock, Calogero performs one of the tracks from her new album “AMOUR”. This promotional moment seems to explain the change of opinion of the fifties about telecrochet for children.
Without more suspense, the super finale opposes Lucie and Durel, two very noticed talents during this ninth season of “The Voice Kids”. The song “Voilà” by Barbara Pravi serves as common ground. Everyone interprets it in their own way. If the two shows are stunning, one holds more public attention. The blonde with the celestial voice delivers, as usual, a flawless song. But it’s the poignant incarnation of Durel that seems to have seduced viewers. Succeeding Raynaud, the one who had distinguished himself by taking over “Stand up” by Cynthia Arivo during the blind auditions won the ninth season of “The Voice Kids”. “Durel has transcended everything since he’s been here. I hope we will make songs together. He is extraordinary, ”concludes his coach Slimane, moved to tears.
