LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: NBC's 'The Voice' Season 22 came to a shocking end with Team Blake's Bryce Leatherwood being crowned the winner of the show. Puzzled fans watched in anger as OG coach Blake Shelton took home his ninth win on the singing competition show, while talented artists like Omar Cardona not only didn't win but also failed to earn a spot amongst the Top 3.

Ever since Omar Cardona first set foot onto 'The Voice' stage, his coach John Legend immediately claimed that he could win the competition. True to John's words, the four-chair turn artist continued to keep the coaches as well as the audience hooked with his impeccable performances every round. So, when 'The Voice' host Carson Daly announced Bryce as the winner, fans had some very strong feelings about it. From accusing the show of being rigged to declaring Omar being "robbed", fans didn't hold back when it came to expressing their feelings on Twitter.

A fan tweeted, "Omar was #TheVoice. He got robbed." "So disappointed that the amazingly talented Omar Jose Cardona didn’t win this season of #TheVoice I was as disappointed as you were stunned John Legend, when Carson announced Omar was 4th. Tell Omar we, his biggest fans, loved him this season!" wrote a fan. "@johnlegend #TheVoice How Omar did not win is a real mystery," commented a fan.

Another fan pointed out, "#TheVoice is rigged but we already knew that. The bottom 4 last week was just the icing on the cake. They just want it to be a good ole county jamboree every time. Omar will go far without that contract and without winning because he actually has a pure voice and talent!" "@camila_cabello #TheVoice Morgan and Omar were by far better than Leatherwood as was Bide. Show is rigged!" seconded a fan. " #TheVoice winner was a big mistake! I think this program is rigged. Omar was by far the most phenomenal entertainer. My faith in this show just plummeted," expressed a fan. "Camila and John’s face when they announced Bryce as the winner had me dead they knew this was rigged cuz how the hell did Bryce win over Parijita, Bodie, Kim, Justin, Omar and Morgan?!? #TheVoice,"added a fan.
