The season started with the best ratings since its debut, with almost 2 million viewers.[3] [4] Big surprise came when the prima ballerina Hippo had a male singing voice. The singer made it to the finale, and turned out to be actor Boris Van Severen. [5] For the first time, no professional singer won, but actor and presenter Aaron Blommaert who did have singing experience. Blommaert did launch a singing career through his victory. [6] [7]

The program was the best-watched program in 2023 in Flanders, repeating the success of the previous seasons.[8] [9]

Production

edit

After the success of the first two seasons, even named the biggest success of broadcoaster VTM ever, a third season was ordered.[10][11] It was announced that Jens Dendoncker, who was a judge in the previous seasons, would be the new host.[12] A first trailer of the season was released 6 January 2023.[13] It was filmed in a castle.[14]

There were some changes. There were fourteen contestants this season, more than the previous seasons. For the first time the contestants were split into two groups of seven. Only the last remaining four contestants of each group, would join the final group of eight contestants towards the final.[15][16]

Before the first episode, the audience could already hear the voices of the contestants since audio fragments were released.[17][18]
