The Voice has been in full swing since the start of the new edition this Saturday, February 12, 2022. The second round of blind auditions arrives on Saturday, February 19, 2022 with the return of a candidate…
In 2021, Marina Battista took part in The Voice and had not left the jury indifferent. If none of them had turned around, Florent Pagny had been furious at the idea of letting such talent pass. “At some point, we can’t let a little girl like that pass. She is 18 years old. This is exactly the material we need. Have you seen everything she does to us? At one point you are there to say: ‘I love imperfections’. Then there, all of a sudden, she has imperfections. Fortunately it has imperfections (…) We should be there. At least two what. And then take her on board and make her sing”he exclaimed at the time. “She has a natural gift. Of course it will take work. We all need it, even us”he added.
If Florent Pagny had not turned around despite all the admiration he had for the voice of Marina Battista, it was because he still had many other voices to hear in the blind auditions. . “We’re like idiots because we have too many people. There are still too many people to listen to. That’s our problem”he had developed. “That’s why we can’t look for other excuses. If we had fewer people, maybe you wouldn’t have gone, but I did. These kinds of performances, for viewers, we get screwed. The public who watches this kind of performance when they see that we don’t press, they say to themselves: ‘What are they doing?'”

Indeed, Florent Pagny has already deplored, on several occasions, the frustration of not being able to select all the potential talents during the blind auditions. The presence of Nolwenn Leroy, during this 2022 edition, will undoubtedly make it possible to avoid such situations. The singer’s mission, as the fifth coach, is to compose her own team with the candidates who have not been selected by Amel Bent, Florent Pagny, Vianney and Marc Lavoine.
Did the jury miss out on the next winner of The Voice the year by letting Marina Battista pass? Highly possible. In any case, the singer decided to try her luck again. It remains to be seen how his blind audition will go on Saturday February 19, 2022 on TF1.
