It is an elimination that does not pass. Saturday May 7, TF1 broadcast a new episode of its famous show The Voice. A number dedicated to “Super Cross Battles”, during which the candidates competed, in pairs, on a song of their choice. Sonia, from Florent Pagny’s teamthen faced Caroline Costa, one of Marc Lavoine’s candidates.
The first, aged 16, stunned the entire jury and the public by interpreting I Will always love you de Whitney Houston. “You are a prodigy”, he also slipped Florent Pagny as she left the stage. However, this was not enough to reach the next step of the competition. Sonia was finally eliminated by the public, who preferred the performance of Caroline Costa, on Listen by Beyonce, 62,4%.
“I lost a beautiful warrior, it’s a shame,” reacted the interpreter of My freedom of thought after the announcement of the results, which also surprised the other coaches. “I did not believe it,” dropped Marc Lavoine to his colleague. “It is the introduction of the star that you are going to be“, said Amel Bent to the young girl, inevitably disappointed not to go further.
But this result did not only create surprise on the set: on Twitter, Internet users largely expressed their dissatisfaction. “I love Caroline so much, but just for the fact that she already had a career Sonia deserved to go all the way,” reacted a young woman in a tweet. “Caroline was saved because it’s Caroline Costa”, commented, more bitterly, another user of the social network. “Can we keep Caroline AND Sonia? Like exceptionally?” Asked another user.
