'The Voice': Angry fans blame Ariana Grande for Gymani's elimination, demand recount

Several viewers accused Ariana's fans of blindly voting for Jim & Sasha just to help her secure the victory instead of voting for a talented performer like Gymani

When pop icon Ariana Grande joined NBC's hit singing competition show- 'The Voice' as one of the coaches, little did fans know the kind of power and influence the pop star has over her legion of fans and how that would affect the competition. As season 21 of 'The Voice' is edging closer to the finale, the competition amongst the performers and the coaches- Blake Shelton, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, and Ariana is getting intense by the second.

If Ariana managed to win her debut season, she will be making history for not just scoring a victory in her debut season, but also becoming the youngest coach on the show to win the coveted 'The Voice' trophy. Ariana's fans aka Arianators seem to be determined to help their idol create history as they are pulling out all stops to show their unwavering support towards her. The recently aired episode where the contestants were vying for a spot on the Top 10 gave fans a peek of it. For several weeks, fans have been demanding the elimination of the father-son duo- Jim & Sasha Allen from Team Ariana. Despite their lackluster performances, the father-son duo has managed to be saved and proceed to the next round of the competition as America continued to vote for them, while other talented performers were sent home. The recent episode featured the duo competing against Gymani from Kelly Clarkson's Team Kelly.
