LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Currently, Dan + Shay, the new judges on the 25th season of 'The Voice', are receiving criticism on social media for their overly enthusiastic behavior and tendency to dominate conversations, leaving little room for the other judges or contestants to speak during the show.

Dan Smyers and Shay Mooney recently made their first appearance as coaches on the popular NBC show 'The Voice,' marking a significant milestone in their careers. This talented Grammy-winning country duo, known for their mesmerizing harmonies and heartfelt lyrics, joined an esteemed judging panel that includes great figures such as Reba McEntire, John Legend, and even the renowned Chance the Rapper.

With their undeniable musical prowess and undeniable charm, Dan + Shay are offering invaluable guidance and mentorship to aspiring artists in the latest season of this highly acclaimed singing competition.

However, it appears that the country duo has approached their role as judges with a high level of seriousness and dedication, as they consistently offer their insights and critiques on every performance throughout the singing competition.

Now, the fans of the show are sharing their stance on Dan + Shay's presence in the show.

An X user shared, "I find Dan + Shay to be pretty annoying on #TheVoice. It’s like chill dudes."



 

Another user chimed in, "I’m just putting it out there Dan & Shay are annoying! Sit down and give other’s a chance to talk."



 

A user said, "Dan and Shay are judges on the voice this year nor idol."



 

Another user shared, "I’m very disappointed on how the show is turning out this year… Not saying anything negative about Dan & Shay… It’s just they are letting to many talented singers go and turning for people that are NOT so great… I WANT BLAKE BACK!!!"



 

Why did Dan + Shay join 'The Voice' Season 25?

While having a chat with Parade, Dan + Shay spilled the beans on what brought them to 'The Voice' Season 25.

Shay said, "Oh man. This has been a whirlwind. Getting this opportunity was huge for us. We have been fortunate enough to do the show a few times. We’ve performed on it several times and we’ve gotten to be mentors for Blake Shelton, which was an amazing experience.

 "We had been approached by our manager who asked us if we would want to take a meeting with The Voice producers. We were like, 'Obviously, we would love to do that. But I don’t know why they’re coming to talk to us,'" he added.

Shay continued, "This is a huge show and I know that they’ve had the opportunity to talk with these massive superstars, so we really didn’t think that we necessarily had a shot at the gig. But we went and met with them, had breakfast. We went in there just joking around, being ourselves, a couple of idiots trying not to say anything too stupid. We just did our thing and we got contacted a few months later and they said they’d like us to be on the show."
