The Voice of Holland

latest talent TV show by John de Mol

The Voice of Holland The Voice of Holland is a brand new Dutch TV talent-show, where the singers perform for judges that initially can't see the performers.

Thereby, the singers are only assessed on their voice, and not on their looks. The jurors can turn their seats around in order to see the artist.

Most of the times the judges wait until the end of the song with turning their chairs. Watch how in Ben's first performance all but one jurors turn their chairs after only a few words sung by Ben.

The Voice of Holland from the same producer who invented the world wide TV hit Big Brother (John de Mol).

“I'm just Ben. I'm a tattoo artist and I sing.”

The Voice Of Holland: The Battles

The Voice of Holland battles like in a boxing ringIn the next stage of The Voice Of Holland the contestants have to battle against each other. In a ring they have to show what they are made of, musically that is, and only one goes on. The winner takes all.

What Do You Think Of Ben Saunders?

a genuine talent, the next media hype, an average singer perhaps?

I have to admit, in the battle, Yvette was really good. Possibly even better than Ben. The jury also pointed out that Ben's audition was way better. Anyhow, I think he's an excellent singer.

    I am Ben and Deans uncle in UK.I have been a musician for years.The boys have always been very talented guys...We have always known it...Now the rest of the world gets a chance to enjoy them too :o)

    Hi James, so it really does run in the family. I agree that Dean as well is such a great singer. I have really enjoyed their performances.

    Hi Redpill :o) Thank you for your lovely comments :o) The boys have been singing since they could talk.. My brother Papa Dean (their Dad) has always loved singing and the boys have soaked it up from him I guess...There is also a 3rd Bro, Jamie. Its a shame there were not 3 competitions in Holland last weekend because Jamie is just as talented and capable of winning as were Ben and Dean :o) We, the family, are sooooooo proud of them all :o)

    Hi there Lazy ;) Great to hear from you guys. I can imagine you're proud. When I first heard Ben sing (during his first audition) I immediately had goose bumps. At that moment I was convinced he was going to win TVOH. I didn't know there was a third brother to be honest. Are there any songs of him on YouTube, or elsewhere online? Just checked and found out he also does MMA like Ben. Interesting family you guys got.

    Thank you for that Redpill :o) Just like you, his audition was the 1st time I'd heard Ben sing alone...It gave me goosebumps too...And YES I was also CONVINCED that he would win....No question in my mind...And then Dean did the same thing.The whole family is totally knocked-out by last weekends events...But nobody was surprised :o) And now the show (Voice of Holland) has been bought by several countries...America among them...Ben is to be the 1st guest on the USA show :o) The word GLOBAL springs to mind :o) Watch this space people :o)

    I almost forgot to say....When Les and Dean (Mum&Dad Saunders) returned from the Popstars show on Saturday to their home in Hoorn...THEY HAD BEEN BURGLED!!!....Imagine coming home after all that incredible success to find that some SCUMBAG has invaded your home and trashed the place and stolen everything they could carry away...!!!!

    That's the exact reason why I named this page Upcoming Singing Star From Holland! (because Squidoo is heavily populated and visited by Americans. I wanted to let them know about this new singer from Holland :) What I especially like about Ben is that, despite his fame, he seems to keep true to himself, no pretense or anything. I like really like that. O and I do think Dean is a great singer as well. It's just that I haven't watched much of that other show.

    Sorry to hear about the burglary. Makes you think that these lowlifes knew he was away and made their move. Anyway that just sucks.
