The Voice season 26 finale was criticized for the coaches' poor song choices, but one performance saved the night

THE Voice fans have brutally slammed part one of the grand finale, with viewers not holding back when sharing their opinions online.

Many viewers have taken to social media to slam the “underwhelming” the first part of the popular show’s grand finale.

Sydney Sterlace performed “I Love You, I’m Sorry” by Gracie Abrams, and “Chasing Cars” by Snow Patrol
Danny Joseph sang “Ain’t No Love in Oklahoma” by Luke Combs, and “Back to Black” by Amy Winehouse
Jeremy Beloate performed “What the World Needs Now” by Jackie DeShannon, and “Dancing on My Own” by Robyn
Sofronio Vasquez chose “Unstoppable” by Sia, and “A Million Dreams” from The Greatest Showman
Shye sang “One of Us” by Joan Osborne, and “Falling” by Harry Styles

Some viewers even said it “sucked” because of the “monotone” performances from the finalists, with some of the song choices slammed.

On Monday night, a week on from fans saying there was a production error, the five finalists took to the stage for the last time to perform songs they believed would win them the entire 26th season.

Danny Joseph, Jeremy Beloate, Shye, Sydney Sterlace and Sofronio Vasquez all performed their hearts out on Monday.

Each contestant is now likely hoping they have done what it takes to be crowned champion and win the coveted $100,000 and additional recording contract, with the winner set to be announced tonight.

On Monday for part one of the finale, each artist performed twice in the episode.

They each crooned a ballad and an uptempo number.

However, it seems some viewers were less than impressed by the artists’ song choices.

Reacting to the finale performances, one person on Reddit started a new thread and wrote, “Just my opinion, but I’m really underwhelmed with the singers that are left as well as the song choices for the finale.”
