'The Voice' Season 17 Top 10: Fans think duets like Hello Sunday should not be allowed, call it unfair to solo artistes
'The Voice' Season 17 is on full swing, and with the series returning on Monday night for the Top 10 Playoffs, fans cannot help but get excited to see what the contestants will be performing. However, fans are not excited about one particular performance.
Hello Sunday is this season's only duet from Team Kelly, and one of the duets who have made it this far into the competition, compared to the others who have appeared on previous seasons.
Though they are impeccable singers, fans claim that it is unfair for them to be in the competition with other solo performers because they have the upper hand when it comes to harmonies.
Being in the Top 10, the duo always seems to get votes from fans that help them push through the competition, and that comes without a doubt because they are impeccable singers.
What most fans claim though is that if they were solo singers, they wouldn't have made it this far, and 'The Voice' is not about duets to still have them in the competition.
Though duos have always been allowed on the show, maybe because they want to have a break as duos and solo artists, fans still think that 'The Voice' is not the stage for that.
Taking to Reddit, a fan wrote, "I get the fact that Hello Sunday is good, but I also feel that neither of those girls would make it alone, and in my estimation, they have an advantage due to their harmonies. The premise of the program is voice, not voices, how do you feel on the subject."
Another fan said, "I'd be fine with a 'no duo' rule. I think the battles and knockouts end up awkward with duos. I'm not even sure which contestant it hurts. In some cases, it seems the duo overpowers the single contestant (but not necessarily better). In other cases, it seems like the duo are just backup singers for the solo performer."
Taking to Twitter a fan said, "It's #TheVoice not 'The Group' split them up and perform solo to advance. Duets don't belong in the competition!"
Another wrote, "#TheVoice. Love this show and I do not know why they allow duets. The show is called "The Voice” not voices. I will say that Hello Sunshine is very good. I also don’t think it’s fair to all the other artists."
