Nelson wins The Voice Kids 2026 season

Nelson, a 14-year-old singer from Martinique, has been crowned the winner of the twelfth season of The Voice Kids on TF1. In a departure from previous seasons, the grand finale held on October 3, 2026, was pre-recorded, meaning the winner was determined by the studio audience via electronic voting devices rather than live television viewers.

To reach the Super Finale, the coaches—Santa, Soprano, Patrick Fiori, and Matt Pokora—had to select one talent from each of their two-person teams. The final four contestants were Nelson (Team Matt Pokora), Alec (Team Santa), Jude (Team Patrick Fiori), and Lena (Team Soprano). Nelson ultimately secured the victory.

During the competition, Nelson noted a strong bond with his coach, Matt Pokora, whom he described as feeling like a “big brother.” The season featured various guest performers, including Mentissa, Ycare, RnBoi, and Claudio Capéo, who joined the finalists for their ultimate performances.
