The Voice Portugal (A Voz de Portugal in the first season) is a Portuguese reality singing competition and local version of The Voice originally broadcast as The Voice of Holland. It premiered on 29 October 2011, on RTP1, with the first season finale airing on February 25, 2012, crowning Denis Filipe as the winner. The show came back in 2014 with its second season with new judges, a new co-host, a new show name, and new Repórteres V (backstage hosts). The winner of the second season was Rui Drummond. RTP1 later announced the first season of The Voice Kids Portugal and the third season of the main show. The third season premiered October 11, 2015 with new judge, Aurea. In its third season, the show proved to be a hit and was subsequently renewed for a fourth season, that is going to premiere in 2016.
The series employs a panel of four coaches who critique the artists' performances. Each coach guides their teams of selected artists through the remainder of the season. They also compete to ensure that their act wins the competition, thus making them the winning coach. The original coaching panel consisted of Rui Reininho, Paulo Gonzo, Mia Rose and the duo Anjos. In 2014 when the show came back, Reininho returned as a judge and was joined by Mickael Carreira, Marisa Liz and Anselmo Ralph. Also in 2014, Ralph became one of the judges of the kids version, alongside Daniela Mercury and Raquel Tavares. In the third season Reininho left and was replaced by Aurea.
The show is hosted by Catarina Furtado and in the second season, Vasco Palmeirim and Furtado became co-hosts. The kids version was hosted by Palmeirim and Mariana Monteiro, who was a Repórter V for the second season of the main series. The show also features backstage hosts (Repórteres V). Diogo Beja was the first Repórter V back in 2011, and he came back in the second season, joined by Laura Figueiredo, Mariana Monteiro and Pedro Fernandes. In the third season, Jani Gabriel became the only Repórter V. During the kids season, Rui Maria Pêgo and Isabel Figueira were the backstage hosts.
