  • The "All-Stars" season of "The Voice" on Reshet 13 has been saved by former celebrities seeking renewed fame.
  • The previous season of "The Voice" was a complete failure, lacking new talent and focusing on mentor rivalries.
  • Contestants like Ido Mosseri and Israel Ber-On are now competing intensely for screen time and public attention.
  • The show's focus has shifted from the mentors to the contestants' desperate pursuit of exposure.
  • Judges are now seeking selfies with contestants, indicating a change in the show's dynamic.

The latest season of "The Voice," an "All-Stars" edition airing on Reshet 13, has found renewed energy not from its mentors, but from its contestants. The previous season, which aired in the summer, was deemed a complete failure, marked by a lack of new talent and excessive focus on mentor rivalries between Idan Raichel, Static, Noa Kirel, and Eden Ben Zaken.

This new "All-Stars" season features a cast of lesser-known former celebrities, actors, and singers whose careers have faded. Contestants like Ido Mosseri, Sharon Fri, Shorty, Loai Ali, and Israel Ber-On, a past "Kokhav Nolad" winner who never became a star, are now vying intensely for screen time and public attention.

While the previous season's weakness was the mentors' self-absorption, the current "All-Stars" format shifts the spotlight. The former stars are aggressively seeking a comeback, turning the competition into a battle for public relevance and exposure, described as a fight for survival in the public consciousness.

This dynamic has unexpectedly saved the show. The focus has moved from the mentors to the contestants, with the judges now appearing enthusiastic, almost like children, and even requesting selfies with the performers. "The Voice" has thus transformed from a mentor-centric show into something more engaging, driven by the contestants' desperate pursuit of renewed fame.
