The winner of the project Voice. No more children was announced by 19-year-old singer Veronika Syromlya from Sevastopol, who triumphed during the finale of the show aired on Channel One on October 20. Syromlya earned the victory under the banner of a name that signaled a new chapter for young talents taking the stage. The moment crowned her as the standout artist of the season, marking a turning point not only for her own career but for the broader discussion around youth participation in competitive music programs.
Syromlya had been a member of Egor Creed’s team and a finalist in the fifth season of the children’s program The Voice. Alongside her, several other young artists reached the finals in the new format, including Ragda Khanieva, David Sanikidze, Ivan Kurgalin, Maria Mirova, Olesya Kazachenko, Maria Panyukova, and Renata Tairova. The field brought a mix of emerging talent and seasoned mentors, all contributing to a dynamic finale that highlighted both vocal prowess and the evolving landscape of youth competition on television.
The results fostered a sense of validation for the mentors involved, with Pelageya earning recognition as the best mentor according to the audience’s votes and the evolving narrative of the show. The moment underscored the collaborative nature of the competition, where the interaction between host, judges, and contestants shaped the final impressions of the season.
Syromlya’s reaction captured the alignment with Egor Creed’s vision for the project. She expressed gratitude and warmth, noting her appreciation for Creed’s guidance and support. The sense of teamwork and shared ambition resonated with viewers who had followed the journey from the early auditions to the finale. The exchange reflected the close relationship that often develops between a mentor and a rising star when belief in a young artist translates into public success.
The show The Voice also featured a wider conversation about the inclusion of younger performers and the evolving rules regarding age brackets. In some discussions, current and former contestants from different seasons agreed with the slogan No more kids, a statement that sparked debate about how best to nurture talent while maintaining the integrity of the competition. The discourse extended to participants like Danil Pluzhnikov, Yaroslava Degtyareva, Elizaveta Kachurak, Rutger Garecht, and others who contributed to the broader narrative of growth and opportunity for young artists.
Meanwhile, a separate behind-the-scenes moment involved Adelia Zagrebina, the mother of a nine-year-old who had previously participated in The Voice. Zagrebina spoke about the controversy surrounding Trofim’s daughter and the consequences that followed, including her own removal from the project. The episode underscored the intense scrutiny and emotional stakes that families face when their children participate in high-profile talent programs, highlighting the tension between public exposure and personal boundaries.
Beyond the televised drama, the musical awards landscape provided additional context for these performers. In related coverage, BTS stars were noted as securing a significant portion of places in the performance category at the MAMA awards, signaling how competing talents from different corners of the industry can rise to prominence in parallel narratives. The music industry’s emphasis on star power and cross-border popularity created a fertile environment for young artists to gain recognition and momentum, often translating to opportunities beyond the show itself.
