Season chronology |
The twelfth season of the Ukrainian reality talent show Holos Krainy premiered on 23 January, broadcasting every Sunday at 21h (9 p.m) on 1+1. From the previous season, only Nadya Dorofeeva returned as coach, while Potap and Svyatoslav Vakarchuk returned to the show after their two-season and five-season hiatuses, respectively. In the meantime, they were joined by first-time coach, Olya Polyakova.[1][2][3]
For this season, the Comeback Stage (which was first introduced in the fifteenth season of American version of The Voice) was introduced under the name "Другий шанс", meaning "Second Chance", and it was exclusively broadcast on the show's official YouTube channel. Hence, for the first time in the Ukrainian version, a fifth coach was added: the duo Andriy Matsola and Oleksandra Zaritska (who was a contestant in season four). To form their team, this duo coach selects contestants who performed in the main competition and failed to advance to the next rounds.[4]
Following the 2022 Russian invasion of Ukraine, the season was suspended after only five episodes were broadcast. However, the show returned on 2 October on a new channel, TET, as 1+1 was only broadcasting emergency news about the war.[5] Episodes six to eleven were initially recorded before 24 February 2022. Due to this, all of the Russian-language dialogue in these episodes was replaced by a voiceover translation in Ukrainian. The show added takes of contestants empowering and inspiring people through music as well as in memory of the soldiers at the frontline.
On 20 November, Mariya Kvitka was named the winner by the public, marking Oleksandra Zaritska & Andriy Matsola's first win as coaches. This is also the first time an artist on the "Second Chance" team won the competition.
