‘The Voice’ Viewers Explain Why They Are ‘Done’ Watching This Season

Tensions flared and tempers soared as “The Voice” unveiled its latest eliminations. For many fans, the results were more shocking than satisfying, sparking debates over fairness and talent.

Fans of “The Voice” had plenty to say after last night’s episode—and many weren’t holding back. Frustrated viewers flooded social media, with some declaring they’d lost interest in the show entirely.

Monday night’s episode featured live performances from the Top 8 contestants of Season 26. The participants included Adam Bohanan and Danny Joseph from Reba McEntire’s team, Jan Dan and Sydney Sterlace from Gwen Stefani’s lineup, Christina Eagle and Jeremy Beloate representing Snoop Dogg, and Shye and Sofronio Vasquez from Michael Bublé’s team.

The voting process was straightforward. The four contestants with the highest votes earned a spot in the finale. The remaining four had to battle it out in the Instant Save round, giving America one last chance to vote for their favorite.

Despite the drama, many fans were less than thrilled with how the results unfolded. Disappointment rippled through the audience, with some viewers expressing outright discontent over the outcomes.

The audience reactions to “The Voice” semifinals were as fiery as the competition itself. Social media became a battleground for fans to share their thoughts. Many didn’t hold back about what they felt was wrong with the elimination process.

One viewer expressed their disappointment, “Why, they sent the best ones home already. Haven’t watched for 4 weeks [sic].” Another vented their frustration, “I’m DONE with ‘The Voice.’ All of you let the people who can sing GO because you want to win. That’s SO wrong!”

Some were critical of the entire season. “This is the most underwhelming season I have ever watched!” a fan lamented. Another echoed, “This will be the last season I watch as it is so disappointing to see people move forward who have very little talent.”

Others were more direct, with one commenting, “Shame on the judges,” and another adding, “Show really is disappointing this season…talent just isn’t there.”

Despite the criticism, other fans sang a completely different tune, celebrating what they felt was a standout season. “Best season ever!!” one enthusiastic viewer wrote.

The coaches also had their share of admirers, with a fan calling them, “The best judges ever! I love Snoop, Reba, Gwen and Michael!” Another fan added a positive note, saying, “Great season, Great fun coaches and excellent talent. Well done.”

Last night’s episode was packed with tension, surprises, and unforgettable moments as the Top 8 learned their fates. By the end, only five contestants advanced to the finale, while three saw their journey come to an end.

Reba set the tone for the evening, opening the show with her hit single “Consider Her Gone.” Host Carson Daly then gathered the contestants on stage to begin the results.

Team Bublé’s Sofronio was the first finalist announced, followed by a performance from Gwen, who sang her latest single “Somebody Else’s” from her upcoming album “Bouquet.”

The results continued, with Sydney from Team Gwen and Jeremy from Team Snoop earning spots in the finale. After another musical interlude featuring October London’s soulful “3rd Shift,” Carson revealed that Team Bublé’s Shye claimed the fourth spot in the finale.

This left Adam, Christina, Danny, and Jan to fight for the last slot in the Instant Save round. Christina kicked things off with a stirring rendition of “Heart Like a Truck,” prompting Snoop to remind America of the show’s country roots and vote for her. “Let’s keep it real. This show was built on that,” the rapper said.

Adam followed with “Pretty Wings,” earning high praise from Reba, “Your vocals were incredible; your range was incredible.” Jan’s emotional performance of “Gravity” moved Gwen, who called it “spiritual, incredible, and mind-blowing.”

Finally, Danny closed the round with a powerful rendition of “House of the Rising Sun,” showcasing his confidence and skill.

After a nail-biting commercial break and a final round of voting, Carson announced the winner of the Instant Save: Danny. He joined Sofronio, Sydney, Jeremy, and Shye in securing a place in the finale. As the finalists gear up for their last performances, fans are left eager to see who will take home the crown.

Meanwhile, fans can already look ahead to “The Voice” season 27, set to premiere on February 3, 2025. The upcoming season promises a fresh dynamic, with new and returning coaches stepping into the iconic red chairs.

Kelsea Ballerini joins the panel alongside familiar faces Adam Levine, John Legend, and Michael, whose coaching skills have already left a mark this season.

“The Voice” season 26 coaches have certainly ignited reactions among viewers when it comes to their elimination choices. A week ago, five members of Team Reba faced off in the latest playoff round, but only two advanced to the live shows.

Fans shared mixed reactions to Reba’s elimination decisions during the playoffs, expressing everything from deep disappointment to empathetic understanding.

Team Reba featured Adam Bohanan, Katie O, Edward Preble, Lauren-Michael Sellers, and Danny Joseph, each delivering standout performances. Adam offered a soulful rendition of Chris Stapleton’s “Think I’m in Love With You,” while Edward performed coach Michael Bublé’s arrangement of “All of Me.”

Katie O teamed up with “Yellowstone” star Lainey Wilson for a duet of her song “Hang Tight Honey.” Meanwhile, Lauren-Michael delivered a heartwarming take on Jelly Roll’s “I Am Not Okay,” and Danny turned Marvin Gaye’s classic “I Heard It Through the Grapevine” into a high-energy rock cover.

Reba chose Adam and Danny to advance to the live shows from her Team. However, her decision to select them left some fans puzzled, questioning why she chose the two over other standout performers on her team.

One fan didn’t hold back, exclaiming, “LAUREN WAS ROBBED 😭💔.” Another questioned the logic behind the decisions, “Reba sending Lauren Michael home truly cost her the win. Gwen could have won with Jose and she cut him as well. What is up with these coaches choosing people who still needs [sic] help rather than actual vocalists??”

Another fan added, “Shocking beyond belief that a Country Star would pass over one of the best young Country singers ever to take The Voice stage! Simply unbelievable! 😱.”

Others expressed frustration with Reba McEntire’s choices, “Totally disagreed with Reba’s decision tonight. Others were much better. For being a country artist you didn’t even pick one. I was all for you until tonight 😞.”

Other comments highlighted missed opportunities, “I am shocked 😳 that Katie o didn’t move on. She was good 😊 she had a good 😊 singing voice too! I think she should move on too. Come on let’s go Katie o! [sic].”

Not everyone was critical, as some acknowledged the difficulty of the decisions, “I feel for Reba here. Amazing talent. Hard to choose. I can’t say she chose average candidates and I also can’t say she left bad candidates out. Very very tough choice with so much talent in the house.”

Another fan added, “There wasn’t a wrong decision, all 5 incredible in their own ways,” while one cheered for the team, “Such a hard choice! Go Team Reba!!”

Reba worked with Lainey to help her choose her team. NBC’s “The Voice“ announced Lainey as a Playoff Advisor for McEntire on their official Instagram page.

They posted Lainey’s picture with a caption that read, “Just country icons helping country icons. 🤠🤠 Lainey Wilson is a Playoff Advisor for Team Reba TN 8/7c on @nbc and streaming on @peacock. #TheVoice.”

Reba also took to social media to share her excitement, posting a picture of herself with Lainey and writing, “We have a superstar advising #TeamReba this week!”

Both artists expressed their enthusiasm about collaborating, bringing their shared passion for country music to the show as they mentored Team Reba through the high-stakes playoff round.
