Russian pop star comments on the scandal surrounding her daughter’s annulled ‘The Voice Kids’ win
After her 10-year-old daughter Mikella Abramova’s victory in this year’s finale of ‘The Voice Kids’ was annulled, the pop singer Alsou expressed optimism that the voting scandal surrounding the show would resolve itself. She told Serebriany Dozhd that the young competitors in the Russian edition of the program had been “pulled into some kind of game” but that “everything should end well.” After an investigation, Abramova was found to have received thousands of SMS votes submitted by bots.
A special episode of ‘The Voice Kids’ is scheduled to be broadcast on May 24 to replace the results of the finale. Alsou said Mikella will decide for herself whether to participate.
