Coaches are supposed to help make their
charges be better persons and show them how to excel at their chosen
career. However, The Voice coach Adam Levine gave coaching a bad
name when he publicly choose sides between two of his singers,
DeAndre Nico and Reagan Strange. It was an appalling display of
favoritism as Adam Levine spent most of his time pleading with
viewers to vote for Reagan over DeAndre
The three artists in the bottom 3 on
the December 4 episode of The Voice had one last chance to sing for
an instant save. Only one could go through and two would have to go
home. Reagan couldn't sing due to illness, even though she was
present, but she remained as a contestant for votes. The other two
singers, DeAndre and Blake Slelton's Dave Fenley, sang their hearts
out but in a close vote, the one who didn't sing was the winner.
It is a sad night for The Voice and one
in which both Adam Levine and The Voice have lost credibility with
the viewers. Fans wasted no time slamming and expressing their shock and disdain
at Adam Levine's behavior and the fact that a show that is based on
“the voice” allowed someone who couldn't sing to compete with
those who did. Many fans have stated that they would no longer be
watching the voice and who can blame them?
