The Voice of Holland (season 1)
The Voice of Holland was the first season of the Dutch reality singing competition, created by media tycoon John de Mol. The success of the show resulted in an international franchise called The Voice. It was aired from September 2010 to January 2011 on RTL4.
One of the important premises of the show is the quality of the singing talent. Four coaches, themselves popular performing artists, train the talents in their group and occasionally perform with them. Talents are selected in blind auditions, where the coaches cannot see, but only hear the auditioner.
The coaches were Jeroen van der Boom, Angela Groothuizen, Nick & Simon and Roel van Velzen. Martijn Krabbé was the only host in the debut season, Wendy van Dijk came to the live show on. The First Season ended on January 21, 2011, Ben Saunders was declared the winner, with Pearl Jozefzoon as runner-up. Saunders won by 59% of the votes. An average of 2.7 million people watched the show every Friday since its launch, while the final attracted 3,744,000 viewers. The results show broadcast half an hour later attracted 3,238,000. In total 30 of the show's singles reached the Top 100 download charts in the Netherlands, including 2 #1 chart toppers by winner Ben Saunders.
