'The Voice' Season 17 Battle Rounds: Blake Shelton faces backlash from fans after he chooses Joana as the winner and eliminates Matthew

Taking to Twitter post their performance, fans revealed their disappointment with Blake because he didn't choose Matthew.
PUBLISHED OCT 22, 2019

'The Voice' season 17 returned for day 3 of the Battle Rounds on Monday night, and we're already shocked with some of the impeccable performances the contestants delivered. 

Though fans and viewers are as excited as the coaches to see how their favorites perform, sometimes they end up not being in favor of the decision the coaches make. And that's exactly what happened on Monday night when Joana Martinez and Matthew McQueen from Team Blake took to the stage and battled it out against each other with their rendition of 'High Hopes' by Panic at the Disco. 

Most fans were keen and excited to see Joana perform, but during their performance, she had a little pitch issue. And while Matthew had some issues during rehearsal, his voice really stood out during the battle, making it hard for one to pick a side. But, by the end of the performance, fans and viewers were sold on Matthew and hoped that Blake would pick him as the winner of the battle. 



 

It was a tough song to perform, that comes with no doubt. But in the end, the singer whose voice stood out compared to the other was Matthew. When it came to making a decision, Blake chose Joana as the winner which threw off fans and viewers who were hoping for the opposite result, because Matthew did outshine her during the battles. 

Taking to Twitter post their performance, fans revealed their disappointment with Blake because he didn't choose Matthew, and Gwen who was the only coach with a steal left, didn't use it on him. Which meant he was eliminated from the show at an early stage. "No way #MatthewMcQueen@mcqueenmusic_ should have went home! @gwenstefani @johnlegend should have stolen him. He has everything to be a star! #KellyClarkson@kellyclarkson is right! @NBCTheVoice #TheVoice," a fan wrote on Twitter. 

Adding to that another said, "That was a little unfair to Matthew .. I would have gone with him!" 

"I definitely disagree with your choice. You kinda screwed him with that song!!" wrote a fan. While another added, "I thought Matthew was the winner and I can’t believe nobody stole him! His voice is so raspy and captivating!" 

"That crappy PATD song is not a vocalist type song. Matthew is a better singer," said a fan. Adding to that another wrote, "Matthew going home is a disaster. That dude is a star. Huge mistake Blake. SMH." 

Do you think Blake made the right choice by picking Joana? 

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