This is why the voice makes me so mad. HOW did Karen and Josh get in over Madison and Maddi Jane???? They are a million times better and more unique. It makes zero sense. I’m starting to think it’s only old ppl who vote and don’t like the “young” music.
Madison was high as fuck the whole results show.
Like when Carson called her name and she said "oh, who? Me?"
That wasn't Madison.
I got Maddie Jane and Madison confused...
No she wasn't.
A lot of viewers are country music fans
This. Country singers repeatedly edge out the others, whether the others are better or not. Nothing against the great vocalists who happen to be country, but it just keeps talented others from having a fighting chance.
Agree. Used to think it had something to do with Blake but I guess not.
Personally, I thought the performances last night were not as good as previous episodes. Don’t know if it has to do with “live”. I think Tae should have been chosen but I don’t know instead of who? Interestingly, this is probably one of the most “mature” group of finalists.
They should have a country only voice separate hahaha
Nashville Star was a show at one time.
They tried and it failed. 😨
Am I the only one who fast forwards through Carson making the coaches and contestants say nice things about each other. It’s so cringy. I hate it and it makes me embarrassed for them
The formula could be updated, for sure
When they get past the coaching portion, the lip service is indeed nauseating
I wish they’d fill the time doing “where are they now” updates on previous contestants. I always wonder what they are up to
I wasn’t impressed with her version of “ Stay” mediocre at best!
Totally. The manufactured filler content in this show is beyond terrible. If they could eliminate that, it would strengthen the show so much. Not even sure what purpose it serves when there is no direct product placement etc. involved.
I've fast forwarded thru it as well. It's definitely over-used and cringey.
I fast forward through that too, so lame.
If you’ve watched more than 2 seasons of The Voice you’d know Josh was basically locked for the finale since the beginning.
Karen honestly killed it this week. She’s been doing very well over the course of the season, and as another country singer she was gonna make it easily.
Country always gets far! Young female pop singers struggle. Chance’s team was screwed on instant with those modern pop songs his team had this week.
Madison has a pretty tone and I’m disappointed to see her go, but tbh I don’t think she has much else. Maddi losing the IS on the other hand proved my point exactly. Even with the best IS performance, you’ll typically lose to someone who appeals to the core demo more (and Bryan was AWFUL in that IS, seriously)
Yes, I was not impressed with his last song at all!
He could've done so much more with that song choice!
I do NOT like Karen!!
I am actually offended that Madison is not in the top 5. Regardless of what genres you prefer, she was the ONLY of the 5 artists tonight that wasn't at all pitchy, she always connects with the audience, and she offers both vocal intricacy and power.
Was tonight her most showstopping performance? No. But she stood out, as she always does, as a solid consistent professional. And I always feel that light emanating off of her that they keep talking about.
Okay, rant over. If not her, I thought Tae should have gone through. While I did feel emotional for Brian with his "let me have this moment and sing along" thing, I am absolutely shooketh that he was voted through.
I love Tae!
seriously. if you voted josh…..why??????
He's a white male country artist; they always get voted in. People are complaining like they don't remember the season with Red.
Because he's good.
Mediocre
I think Karen is definitely deserving but Madison should’ve been in over Josh, I love country music but Josh is so average
I can agree that Karen and Josh are both good singers they just are too mainstream to make it unless they release an absolute bop like Morgan wallen did. It’s hard to do especially with so much competition.
A lot of you are asking how Karen made it. I believe her performance of the Sugarland song “Stay” was definitely the best vocal performance of last night!
Well I’m old and agree w you! I’m mad the Karen as a professional singer is even allowed on. I loved Maddi Jane!!
Thank you for your input. I know there are hip old ppl out there. I just feel like the majority prefer listen to the oldies or country as opposed to rap, r&b, recent pop like Tate mccrae but maybe I’m just completely wrong!!
Idk, but I’m so glad I’m not a coach there, because I would’ve lost my **** on camera because Maddi was fighting for an instant save when she easily should’ve been placed in the Top 5.
In my head, if I was asked to say some final words to Maddi before revealing the instant save, I’d probably start off with saying that I’m disappointed at the people that had her in the bottom 5 and that they’re dumb and need to get their ears checked.
I’m so sad for Maddi! Her performance last night was the best of the instant saves. She is one of the more unique artists that has been on the show in recent years. I would’ve loved to see her perform again.
I wish she would’ve chosen songs more like last night’s song for her other performances, as they really highlight her beautiful signing voice better.
Respect the opinions of others or else you’ll turn into Adam Levine. Not a good look.
Bryan seems like a nice enough guy but his version of Against All Odds was fucking terrible…off pitch shouting, no vibrato….. His Coldplay cover? Much better, even John alluded to it.
Maddie belongs in that group. As usual though, the country clowns 🤡 got the flyover vote.
I thought they fucked him over last week with that song. Thought my main dude was gone for sure. Then he sang Viva La Vida and shouted out to the crowd and thought "there's hope!!" Still happy and blown away though! Go win this shit Bryan!!!!
Brian sucks
Thought for sure Serenity would be in the top 5..Also a Madison fan
Exactly and she’s only 17!!!
Do you get more points for being young?
Lol
Does a boss know more than an intern???? Does a doctor know more than a resident???? Does a mom or dad know more than their child???? Does a 50 year old experienced singer know more than a 17 year old singer????? Think a little.
So the point is exceeding expectations not delivering the best performances?
The point is that she did better than Bryan, Josh, and Karen which is hard to do at a young age. Outperforming and exceeding expectations.
I would say she was definitely more consistent and stronger than Bryan.
But Josh and Karen have both being doing very well and also been very consistent.
With Serenity I do think it’s more of a preference since u are right that they have all been consistent but I originally made the post bc of Madison and Maddi Jane both of which I think should have been top two & blowing everyone else out of the water. Nathan and Archer are the only other ones that compare to their natural effortless singing abilities.
I love Madison, while i do like Maddi's voice and tone, haven't been a fan of her style of song as much so less connection.
Madison should not have been in the bottom I 100% agree. She is one of the best singers of this season hands down.
Agreed. Maddi definitely could have given more emotional performances. Madison is just an angel and deserves the whole world
I'm not even a country fan and I refuse to vote for country artists... But people that say Josh and Karen haven't been 2 of the most consistent artists all season are just giving into their biases.
Did she though? The top 4 performances last night were Nathan, Asher, Karen, and Josh... And all 4 have been consistently good for the entire season. Serenity's best performance was her audition.
That’s just pure opinion. Which I guess is the whole point of voting so touché
when you’re on a show like this, everyone’s on the same level. age doesn’t matter, it’s who sings and performs the best and draws the audience in the most. a 17 year old who competes on this show is gonna be held to the same expectations as a 50 year old on the show bc this is what they signed up for. no bonus points are given for being young.
Age does matter in this competition especially in an industry like this. Age always matters it’s crazy to say it doesn’t matter. It’s exactly why young singers get turned down all the time and then come back two years later and get on the show. In people’s mind (the people who vote), the ones who do extraordinary things at a young age are not only impressive, but they are doing the same things that old experienced ppl are doing. They are being held to the standards of old ppl and stepping up and acting as adults. It’s impressive and not easy to do! Even the judges say omg I can’t believe you are only 17!! They say that for a reason.
i mean i guess it matters in a way but at the end of the day, when a younger person signs up for a show like this, they should be expected to perform at the same standards of everyone else, regardless of age. free points aren’t gonna be given just because someone is young.
Has nothing to do with talent
Very much so
Thought Serenity was a lock to go home tonight.
How did Karen and Josh get in over Tae? Could skin color be a factor?
Ridiculous comment. Why did Asher and Nathan make it then?
They aren't country singers going for the country vote.
Cool.
Yeah, you are right. Thanks for calling me out (in the nicest way), I probably deserved that!
Here we go again…..
Some may say the only reason you like Tae over Josh and Karen is his skin color.
Exactly. Tae is so much better than them and a breath of fresh air in country music
You should remember Karen has been touring domestically and internationally for decades. Shes been on reality tv shows before. She has opened for some medoum level stars. She sang the national anthem for NFL and Nascar. She has over 40,000,000 views of her videos singing. She has had record deals with a Sony subsidiary. Shes done 2 major 70s hit songs as the artist selected by the song owners to cover/rerelease. She brought a lot of fans to the show that never watched the voice before who are only voting for her. I am sure that is the case with the older folks.
You are not wrong. But let me say this. Iv been to her shows and she’s amazing in person. She deserves to win and she’s worked really hard to get where she is. My honest opinion. It will come down to Karen and Asher. Asher has an amazing voice as well and that’s what it’s all about!
Country fans are still a little racist sorry to say .
Well they voted him/her in (how does Asher identify?)
Maddi Jane Should Have Been In The Top 5 . No Question
I thought Josh was better than Madison last night
That’s the problem tho. It shouldn’t be based on one performance it should be their over all performances, their vibe, what they can put out in the world, all of it. Josh and Karen are just like every other country singer. Madison brings back old timey songs with a new twist and is youthful with her music. In the long run she will have more followers/listeners when she puts out music than a Josh or a Karen type. She brings something new to the table.
Thats how it has always worked! Can’t change the rules because your faves did not get in. Josh and Karen have more experience than many of the others (exceptBryan). In this case, youth was not an advantage.
There aren’t rules to voting. It’s ppl’s mindsets and their lack of ability to see things big picture. Would you like it if someone didn’t promote you because you made a mistake yesterday but have put in months of good hard work??? It’s no different. Judge the book by the whole book not the cover or one chapter!!!
By rules i am referring to format of show. They tweak it on occasion.
Try and sell it to the producers. Explain how it would work and maybe you get some traction. Or, start a new show in your format.
Haha I can’t tell if you are being sarcastic or not but I like this response
welp—i thought that it was at 9 tonight so I missed the voting entirely.
Haha oh no!!!
They seem not to be doing the recap episodes this season.
Agree I think Madison's song choices didn't reflect her original sound which I was blown away by. I think we'll be seeing more of her
Bryan???
Yeah Bryan! People finally got it right that Rock N Roll will never die!!!! Every season I have to watch the Rockers get cut. EVERY SEASON. Sorry you don't like but I actually cried in my living room over this. Again sorry yours didn't get through.
You didn’t watch last season or what? Huntley was a rocker and won (and was awesome imo)
no problem with rockers. just don't think he is that great. you made a wrong assumption.
Got ya. Not everyone is everyone's cup of tea. I couldn't stand Maddie and people are about to riot she didn't go through. Lol.
Top demographic of viewers is white 30-50 year olds and the results show it.
White 30 to 50 year Olds put a black LGBTQ+ powerhouse into the finale? Weird.
Top doesn’t mean all. There are more ppl voting than just white 30-50 year olds. They are the majority which is why country is heavily favored.
Let's not forget Bryan. He was millions of times better than Asher. Asher who 'sang' one of the easiest songs ever that shows no range. Asher who has no range. Asher who can't command a stage :/
on what planet is bryan "millions of times better" than asher and asher someone who has no range? let's be serious
All right let's be serious. The former was true the latter was a joke.
Lol do ur ears work? How could you hear both and say Asher has a bigger or better voice? You might need your ears checked
In what universe are you living in where Asher has no range and no command of the stage. RME.
in the words of John Legend to Asher after his performance "You are the best vocalist of this season" Bryan has been sounding horrible in these live performances and saying Asher has no range nor stage commandment is just you lying to feed into the delusion
I couldn't finish Ashers performance. Nathan is the best vocalist but ok. Somebody to Love was put of Bryan's wheelhouse (wasn't that the only live performance he has done?) John should have had him do Seger, Van Halen, Whitesnake, Def Leppard. Few can hit highs of Freddie let alone effectively (Adam Lambert, Omar Cardona)
Bryan picked a difficult song. Asher didn't buy let's just praise the performance on teh weaker songs now. Anyone could've sang that song effectively but ok
I'm old and didn't vote for Josh or Karen. I just don't gravitate toward that kind of country and unfortunately I am in a minority there.
Madison should have gone through, I think maybe she was just too chill maybe to make a stand out enough presence.
I voted to save Tae though, I just really really love him and he really fought for it.
