The Voice Israel (Season 3) is the third season of the reality show The Voice Israel, which focuses on finding the next Israeli pop star. It is hosted by Michael Aloni with coaches Shlomi Shabat, Sarit Hadad, Aviv Geffen and Mosh Ben-Ari. Elkana Marziano was declared the winner, with Tamar Amar as runner-up.
It is the first season of the Israeli version to be broadcast in 16:9 widescreen format.
The third season of The Voice Israel included two recent immigrants to Israel who had had successful musical careers in their own countries: the Australian-Israeli Ohad Rein, who performed in Australia as Old Man River and had several hit songs, and the French-Israeli Shirel Bitan, who had a long musical theatre career in France, and stated on the show that she had been approached by the producers of the French The Voice to serve as a mentor for that show, soon before she left for Israel.
The group of competitors also included Jessica Katz, a niece of Steven Spielberg. Another contestant, Misha Kirkilan, had competed (as "Michael Kirkilan") on Season 3 of the Ukrainian version of The Voice, Holos Krainy, in 2013, but did not make it past the blind auditions on the Israeli version.
The coaches performed "אנצל" (Mosh Ben Ari song) at the start of the show.
This year's battle rounds featured a new "steal" twist. After each battle round the losing artist then pitched to the other three coaches on why they should join their team. It was then up to the coaches (who have a limited amount of time) to press their red button to steal the artist. They could press their button as many times as they liked but were only allowed to steal two artists. If more than one coach wanted to steal the same artist then it was up to the artist to decide which team to join.
