The Shia Voice is an international Shia Muslim talent competition television series produced by Imam Hussein TV3. The show debuted in April 2022 and has been celebrated as one of the best TV shows for Shia Muslims globally. It provides a platform for young Shia talents to express their devotion through religious and artistic performances such as Noha recitation, Quranic recitation, poetry, and public speaking.[1]

History

[edit]

The show was created by Mustafa Saied (MSA) in collaboration with Imam Hussein TV3 as a platform for the Shia community to celebrate and promote their religious and cultural traditions through the arts. The Shia Voice premiered in 2022 and quickly became a hit, airing its second season in 2023. Due to production delays, the third season was postponed to 2025, with filming scheduled for January and broadcast set for Month of Ramadan 2025.[1]

Format

[edit]

Each season begins with 72 contestants from around the world. The contestants are divided into six episodes, and five from each episode proceed to the semi-finals, which consist of three episodes. In the semi-finals, two contestants from each episode are chosen by the judges to advance to the finale, along with one contestant selected through public voting. An additional contestant is selected via a judges' wildcard, bringing the total number of finalists to 10.

In the live finale, the 10 finalists perform in front of a large audience, with three advancing to the ground finale for a second performance. The winner is determined by a 50/50 split between audience votes and judges' decisions.[2]
