Why ‘The Voice’ Fans Are Convinced The Show Is Rigged-A Deep Dive Into Controversial Decisions

Fans of ‘The Voice’ are complaining the show is rigged after a controversial decision. Let’s dive into the controversy and see why they think so.

The Voice – Controversy In ‘The Voice’ Franchise

A wave of controversy is currently enveloping the Voice franchise, particularly the Australian iteration that is captivating audiences. While NBC’s The Voice is just embarking on its new season, international viewers are expressing their discontent.

The most recent episode of The Voice Australia, featuring the illustrious Adam Lambert and the talented LeAnn Rimes as coaches, witnessed an elimination that has left many fans questioning its fairness.

According to reports from Yahoo News, contestants Eden and Skÿe engaged in a fierce battle, performing a rendition of The Beatles’ timeless classic “Yesterday.” Despite the coaches’ acknowledgment of Skÿe’s lackluster performance, he was advanced to the next stage as the choice for Guy Sebastian’s team, an Australian Idol alum-that’s the Aussie version of “American Idol”.

A Sponsor Was Said To Be Featuring Skÿe In Its Commercials

The publication has uncovered assertions circulating among the Voice enthusiasts, suggesting that Skÿe’s tenure on the program was extended primarily due to the influence of Afterpay. Afterpay is a prominent sponsor of the show, which has showcased him in various advertisements, fans feeling this was a conflict of interest.

One notable comment expressed: “It was glaringly apparent that they wished to conceal Eden’s feedback, as it has now become evident that Guy is the favored contender. His input, coupled with Adam’s feigned mild critique, strongly indicates that the outcome has been predetermined.”

Social Media Blew Up With Allegations The Competition Is Rigged

A visit to the show’s Facebook page revealed not only discontent regarding the abbreviated performances of the contestants but also a shared sense of disappointment among fans following Eden’s departure.

One person commented, “With all the ads featuring him, it’s clear who will win-personally, I don’t like his voice, but that’s just my view” feeling there was obvious bias.  Another person replied, “Come on, Guy, you said he didn’t perform his best, yet you still chose him” while a third person stated, “Eden clearly won-her voice is stunning.

On X, several posts echoed these thoughts, including one that said, “Skÿe shouldn’t have advanced; Eden was incredible,” obviously favoring Eden and not favoring Skÿe.

Another noted, “Eden was far better; she didn’t deserve to leave, Guy Sebastian messed up that choice-“ echoing the sentiments of bias by the show on other social media platforms.
