'The Voice' season 17 Battle Rounds: Kelly Clarkson may have made a mistake by letting Injoy Fountain go and fans aren't happy

While this is definitely not the end for Injoy, fans are not happy that Kelly chose Alex as the winner instead of Injoy.
PUBLISHED OCT 16, 2019

'The Voice' season 17 returned on Tuesday night for day two of the Battle Rounds, and the first battle of the night was between Alex Guthrie and Injoy Fountain from Team Kelly.  

Battling it out to “Home” by Marc Broussard Alex and Injoy were both strong with their performances. Alex had a bit of an upper hand in this battle because he had been playing the song for years, while Injoy wasn't that familiar with it. But onstage Injoy killed it, and so did Alex. 

It was one of the strongest battles we've seen this season, but in the end, there can only be one winner and Kelly was torn apart trying to make a decision. Raving about Injoy's pitch and stage presence, some of the coaches revealed that they would have picked her, as Alex's personality didn't stand out as much as Injoy's did during the battle. 



 

But when the time came to pick a winner, Kelly decided to choose Alex because he has a versatile voice compared to Injoy. This might not have been the best decision of hers. This takes us back to season 15 when she let SandyRedd go, it was clearly a mistake, and letting go of Injoy was another one she made. 

Though everyone expected one of the coaches to steal Injoy, sadly no one did. Blake revealed he was saving his steal for someone later in the competition because he didn't want to steal so early and later regret it when he wanted someone else. 

While this is definitely not the end for Injoy, fans aren't happy with Kelly choosing Alex over Injoy. Taking to Twitter post the performance, a fan wrote, "What the hell. Can I steal injoy? She was amazing. Put out an album now. Mistakes were made. #thevoice #thevoicebattles #TheVoice2019." 

"#thevoice I can't believe they let Injoy go. They should let everybody battle before the judges are allowed to use their save and steal. This way everyone would have a chance to be reconsidered." wrote another fan. 

Adding to that a fan wrote, "Get #Injoy trending. @Injoy_Fountain should be a household name. I'm seriously angry that none of #TheVoice judges used their Steal. That woman is too amazing, her voice is too phenomenal for her to be gone. Labels need to be begging her to accept recording contracts."

"Injoy was 10X better than Alex omg go see the ear doctor sis @kellyclarkson #TheVoice," shared a fan. While another added, "I would steal @Injoy_Fountain ! #TheVoice my jaw is dropped. So sad to see you go. Keep singing!!" 

Some fans also shared their disappointment because none of the coaches stole her and let her go. "#TheVoice I am NOT believing that nobody used their Steal for #Injoy. That...just...WE got robbed. We're not going to hear her anymore this season? Some label had BEST give that woman a contract NOW." 

'The Voice' season 17 airs every Monday and Tuesday night only on NBC. Check your local listings for more information.
