The Voice WINNER only had 1 chair turn, and now he's a COACH! 🤩 | The Voice 10 Years

Back in 2014, troubadour Kendji Girac walked onto The Voice stage in France. Kendji, with his guitar, sang Bella during his Blind Audition, and only Coach Mika pressed his button. Mika couldn’t believe none of the other coaches turned! The other coaches must have scratched their heads at the end of the season, as Kendji was crowned The Voice of France 2014! Not only that, he released three #1 albums in France and he’s now sitting in the coach chair on The Voice Kids! Check out Kendji’s best performances in #TheVoice now.

What’s your favorite performance by Kendji? ✌️

[@z4r4-9]

to be honest i cant say it will be to hard just to chose one

[@Arie_Wolff]

Bella

This is a great example that great vocalists can sing without shouting and screaming.

[@chuckyondy7282]

he sings extremely bad

[@patrickpregardien7954]

😊

[@HG_Budde]

And how people being part of the music business for years can become so blind for talent and what the regular people would like to hear, the only one who turned for such an exceptional song and performance, was the guy who probably saw a bit of himself in Kenji. 😵

[@HG_Budde]

​@@chuckyondy7282 Imagine standing for your first time in front of a four digit audience, four musical celebrities, the entire country behind the TVs and being aware tgay all of KZbin, incl. family, friends and coworkers eventually being able to see the performance you're about to give. Not to mention having your entire future riding on remembering every line, every note, playing the guitar and having both "instruments" harmonise perfectly while trying to look as if you're currently enjoying an especially fine glass of wine doing it, all the while a single button being pressed by people who couldn't care less for your future wealth because they already have enough money to last two lifetimes, deciding the path of your entire future life on a whim or a gut feeling will always hang as Damokles' sword above you. 🤔 Now.. Just do it better than him and we'll shut up immediately.. Forever. 😂 Good luck! May the gods be with you.

[@noemiesvi]

he takes drugs, he is frowned upon in France

Marry someone who looks at you the same way Mika looks at Kendji ♥️

Mika has the eyes of a talent for kendji that will fit for the people, Mika held that fate to finals even there were so so performances of kendji. Thanks for Mika in believing kendji❤💗💓

[@Gourmetsmacarons]

True that.Wonder how the others are feeling about not even turning now! Lol

[@jeanny4204]

i feel like in every performances Mika's eyes shooting heart laser to kendji...

[@llewisdolphins]

Amazing. I don't speak the language, only a few words, but i could feel the emotion in his songs. His pronunciation of mad world was phenomenal. So very talented, beautiful tone, eyes one can get lost in and just so much passion. When he carries a not it sounds so amazing. Glad he made it, he deserves every bit of recognition he gets. Bravo!!!! The last song with his coach...... chills up and down my spine. So gentle, beautiful and full of emotion!

[@gezelguseynova208]

This shows how awesome Mika is! He was the only one ti turn and sense talent!🤯❤️❤️❤️

[@experiencelife9353]

Mika was the best one in The voice France. He can sense talent, here Lendji changed completely the song with catalan culture. When Kendji finished his audition, he told the "You're crazy guys" I think they actually are 🤣

[@namratavedi1122]

You said Lendji

[@roderickbalictar6244]

Kendji finale performances are really awesome. He got the looks, the talent and oozing with sex appeal, especially on the Finale Night. He is also really good at playing guitar. Like the description troubadour. Lakas ng appeal. And congratulations for being one of coaches of The Voice Kids France 2020.

[@marylinebonnor1809]

Il a tout d’un grand artiste,bravo à lui.

I found this guy's songs on Spotify last week and I became obsessed with his voice. He's just full of talent! And I'm practicing a lot more French thanks to his music 😍

[@Cemonxs_yt]

Unique

[@chuckyondy7282]

lol

[@nanettecormier8513]

He had so much presence! And dignity! His coach could not teach him that! Imagine this was his first time singing in French, not to mention English. It's the French viewers who carried him all the way to the winner's circle. They saved him twice! Chapeau!!!

[@marylinebonnor1809]

C’est un type super ,avec bcp de dignité et d’humilité

[@MrLagoboy1]

He has an ease of performance that is very appealing to me. It's a natural charm along with a melodic styling of singing that captivates. He is to singing what Kevin Costner is to acting. I'm so glad to have seen this video.

[@LuisanaMcbo]

Why people is saying he doesn't have a good voice ? He has a special unique tone that's absolutely beautiful

[@mififine]

Vrmt 💞

[@joeldilungidi767]

i have to disagree with everyone who says that his look is what made him pass, he is one of the most successful the voice singer after the voice. He released an Album which was top 4 in France. His song les yeux de la maman is one of the best French songs out there. He is not just a pretty face he got talent. He won the voice because he had a voice. Some of the contestants sang his songs on the voice.

[@buddhidev7877]

I remember I found him from his video clip in KZbin singing Bella with his friends and family, and thought he's very good. Then I later knew that he did the audition on the Voice France which was shocked me a bit but so glad for him that Mika chose him.

[@peschila]

Believe it or not he was only 17 in the Voice

[@rafaelricardoparra2249]

Desde Cuba se te quiere mucho hermosa voz grande tu kendji

[@dbtalahuonyommusic7067]

I’m so happy to see my favourite singer in the world getting so much praise from people in so many different countries! I’m so grateful for The Voice for giving Kendji his fame, or else I probably wouldn’t even know who he is. ❤️

[@marylinebonnor1809]

Il le mérite ton chanteur préféré

[@mififine]

Ma vie kendji

[@jhoncanyroque4400]

Just saw all his performances and he is amazing and pretty easy on the eyes. In each performances he gave it all except the mad world song. I feel like he was insecure since he probably don't know much English. But besides that all his performances were magnificent. The way he dances so cute. It looks like he's been one of the most successful in his country. Love when they get the support. We need more talents like him.

[@HG_Budde]

Imagine what musical talent we would have lost if Mika, a former contestant turned coach, hadn't recognised the fact Kenji is technically a studio-ready singer. He could just as well have been one of the pranks in which professional musicians and actors try to fool the judges. 😳 Sure, a talent like him would have made their way up the musical career ladder somehow, but that would probably never have led to him becoming a coach and gaining popularity and fame in less than a few days. 🤷🏼‍♂️

[@The22Jeanne]

Mika isn't "a former contestant turned coach". Kendji is.

Some thing that people don't know is that Kenji was only 17 when he won The Voice France, Yes he is a pretty face, but he got talent from the very beginning. Until now he is humble and has a lot of success.

Some thing that people don't know is that Kendji (not "Kenji"...) takes drugs and is an alcoholic

30:05 So, something you definitely need to know : The reason all faces kept so serious and closed off while listening to Kendji & his Coach of a Mika giving their two cents on Barbara's 1970's "Black Eagle", is that this song is known to be dealing with child molestation and (perhaps) even incest - naturally without ever being anything less than poetic.. and.. lyrical about it... There. Now you know.
