The judges and the audience of "The Voice. Kids" TV talent show were astonished when a 10-year-old girl who they auditioned and didn't pick turned out to be the daughter of Ukraine's prime minister.

Sofiya Yatsenyuk auditioned in “The Voice. Kids,” a Ukrainian 1+1 Channel’s adaptation of the American show, in an episode that aired on Jan. 8. She performed “Sunny,” a hit by Boney M. 

Neither of the four judges, who in accordance with the show’s rules listened sitting with their backs to the girl, turned and picked her to continue the competition. 

When she finished the song, and the judges turned to the girl to meet her, they were still unaware of who she was. It was only when she introduced herself and said her father’s name was “Arseniy,” that one of the judges, pop singer Tina Karol, asked with a smile: “But he isn’t the Arseniy Yatsenyuk that we are thinking about, is he?”

“He is,” the girl answered calmly, shocking the judges.

“I suddenly remembered all the prayers I’ve ever known,” joked Natalya Mogilevska, another judge.

Then the judges cheered up Sofiya, saying that she had a rare voice and she needed to grow up a bit to learn to control it better.

Arseniy Yatsenyuk hugs his daughter Sofiya after her performance at “The Voice. Kids”.

“It’s fair. She’ll sing even better next time,” said Arseniy Yatsenyuk, who watched his daughter’s performance from the backstage with his wife Teresiya Yatsenyuk.

He then hugged Sofiya when she left the stage with tears in her eyes.

Sofiya is the younger of the two daughters of Yatsenyuk. At the show she said that everyone in her family liked to sing. Yatsenyuk himself, according to his daughter, sometimes sings Italian tenor Andrea Bocelli’s songs “for fun.”
