Some fans of NBC’s “The Voice” are calling the competition unfair after seeing how the semi-finals results played out.
There were no guarantees made to coaches about how many artists they would get through to the finale.
Heading into the semi-final results episode, Blake Shelton’s team featured three artists, John Legend’s team featured three artists, Camila Cabello’s team featured one artist, and Gwen Stefani had just one artist left on her team as well.
Spoilers for which artists made it through to “The Voice” 2022 finale follow.
Not all of the artists can make it through to the finale, however, and some fans were upset that certain artists, like Team Blake’s Bryce Leatherwood and Brayden Lape, were voted through to the finale without having to compete in the Wildcard Instant Save.
After the finale, Gwen Stefani is the only coach with no one on their team.
Some Fans Don’t Think Blake Shelton’s Country Singers Should Have Made it Through

As is the case in most seasons of “The Voice,” Shelton has a leg up on the rest of the competition going into the last few live shows. He has a large following with fans of the show, and his artists generally get more votes.
One artist this season, Bryce Leatherwood, was marked safe first on the semi-finals episode, and some fans didn’t like that.
“BRYCE IS THE FIRST FINALIST???? I HATE IT HERE,” one person tweeted after the results were announced.
Another person wrote, “bryce??? I’ve already lost #thevoice.”
“Are you f**king kidding me??? That mediocre country bumpkin that sings the same f**king song every week? I hate this show’s voting base #TheVoice #VoiceResults,” another person tweeted.
Before the semi-finals, some fans were upset about both Leatherwood and Team Blake’s Brayden Lape making it through to the late stages of the competition.
In one Reddit thread posted after the top 10 results, a fan questioned “how in the world are we letting Brayden and Bryce through and not Kique [Gomez] or Devix. … Brayden and Bryce are good in their own regard but nowhere near as good of voices IMO.”
Kique Gomez and Devix were both eliminated ahead of the semi-finals.
One person responded, “Brayden just sits on a stool, smiles, and attempts to sing a country song that sounds remarkably similar to each one he sang before. As for Bryce, I think my favorite part of his performance has been his hats.”
Some fans on Reddit went as far as to say the results were “disgusting.”
Shelton is well on his way to earning another win on “The Voice.” It would be his 9th overall win. The coach won in season 2 with Jermaine Paul, season 3 with Cassadee Pope, Season 4 with Danielle Bradbery, Season 7 with Craig Wayne Boyd, Season 11 with Sundance Head, Season 13 with Chloe Kohanski, Season 18 with Todd Tilghman, and most recently in season 20 with Cam Anthony.

Well, I won’t be watching The Voice finale! Isn’t it interesting that the four contestants left standing to compete for the ONE spot to be saved were the four semi-finalists of color? HOW did Brayden make it through to the finale?!! Yes, this season had some of the best semi-finalists competing in the series to date. ButI thought for sure two on John Legend’s team would be voted through. At least one of those two made it via the “Saved” voting process. So to Kim, Justin, and Parijita I say, don’t despair. Your talent was on full display every week this season. You all have the potential to have awesome careers. Parijita, your natural talent and beauty remind me very much of a young Whitney Houston. I saw her in concert when she was about ten years older than you are now. And in ten years, I predict you will be every bit as good as she was then and well on your way to your own successful career. You three were all such a joy to watch evolve this season. And Omar … John is right. If The Voice is truly about the singers talent, you should be the 2022 season winner! But after seeing how the voting went this week after the semi-final performances, I hope you can understand why I won’t be turning in for the finale next week.
Shocked! My first comment was – no minorities were selected. I guess, knowing what the country is since 2016 – I shouldn’t be surprised. Parajita should have won hands down but not even being in the final 5 was ridiculous. And, I do blame the coaches as they kept pushing the young country kid when it was fully obvious to everyone else that he doesn’t have the talent nor passion that the other candidates have. I agree with Body and finally Omar and do love Bryce but leaving out Parajita was completely crazy and with all appearances racist by the voters and coaches. They did push for Omar in the end and you could see it in Parajita’s face how dejected she felt. Really unfair.
Poor Babies get ur pacifier and vote. Or cry!! I guess we will have to do team ball u sick babies. Pay attention this generation90% of u can go by rules. Go to Russia no better China learn how go USA is, except 90% u spoiled generation
