Playoff results were voted on in real time. Nine artists sang live and six of them were eliminated by the end of the night. Three saved artists advanced to the Final.

Week 2: Final (April 26)
Second Final Round results were voted on in real time. Top 3 artists sang live and Mikella Abramova won the competition. However, the results have been cancelled due to external manipulation of votes. There was no winner to this season because of the manipulation. BBC reports: "Clearly this is just a TV show. But to some it reflects a wider, unpleasant reality: using money and status to sway a vote. People have shrugged that off for years in politics. But the idea that dirty practices tainted a children's talent contest has angered them.”

While many fans stated that Mikella was a decent performer, the scale of her victory was distinctly fishy, especially with some believing her vocals to be shaky. Notably, her pop-star mum, Alsou, had called openly for support: she has more than two million Instagram followers. Additionally, reports of factory workers being paid to vote added to the sense of scandal.

Week 3: (re-)Final (May 24)
While the show was shown live, the coaches were not present. Each had recorded a greeting to their team. Artists performed the following songs, however there was no voting.

After the performances The CEO of Channel One Russia, Konstantin Ernst came on stage and declared all final participants as winner. Each participant including Mikella Abramova was handed a trophy and will receive the winning prize of ₽1 mln.
