Katelyn, 13, Wins 'The Voice Kids' as Finale Delivers Season-Best Ratings

The live show capped a season of change with Melissa Khalaj fronting the format after Thore Schölermann’s exit.

Overview

  • The live final, aired Friday, April 3, on Sat.1 and Joyn, crowned Katelyn from Team Michael Patrick Kelly after public voting by phone, SMS, or the Joyn app.
  • Melissa Khalaj hosted the season solo and shared the finale with singer Wincent Weiss as co-host, and Joyn says he will join the hosting team going forward though some coverage called future plans open.
  • AGF data reported by DWDL show 330,000 viewers aged 14–49 and a 9.3% share, which set a season high and ran close to RTL’s Let's Dance best-of at 9.5%.
  • Twelve finalists performed solo and then with their coaches, and the winner earns a produced single and €20,000 in education funding.
  • This 14th season refreshed the coach panel with Michael Patrick Kelly, Leony, Álvaro Soler, and twin duo HE/RO, alongside schedule tweaks that mixed Saturday and Friday broadcasts.
