'The Voice' Season 19: Aaron Scott picks Blake Shelton over John Legend, fans say 'coaches turning for mediocre'

Gwen Stefani and Kelly Clarkson did not seem very impressed with the singer’s performance as they did not turn their big red chairs at all

After getting the talented Taryn Papa in his team, Blake Shelton got another artiste in his kitty named Aaron Scott. The contestant delivered a rendition of Fuel's 'Hemorrhage (In My Hands)'. It was a surprise to see John Legend turning his red chair first within seconds of Aaron’s performance followed by Blake Shelton. Gwen Stefani and Kelly Clarkson did not seem very impressed with the singer’s performance as they did not turn their big red chairs at all.

After a brief funny conversation, John and Blake got to business and tried their best to convince Aaron but in the end, he opted for Team Blake. The Internet was soon divided over Aaron’s performance. While some praised him for his singing skills, a few trolled him. One user said, “@aaron_scott19 YOU Was AMAZING Tonight. I Am Already A Fan.  #TheVoice”

Another asserted, “Aaron (Hope I spelled it right) would be great with more late '90s, early 2000s rock music. Creed maybe? Yeah I said Creed, what of it? #TheVoice.” A user slammed the judges and said, “The coaches were turning for a lot of mediocre singers who could barely hit a note or melody but failed to turn for Faye?Ridiculous.”

One became a fan of Aaron and stated, “@aaron_scott19 Just watched your audition on #TheVoice. I’m crying. The emotion in your voice made me want to hug you. I hope you have an amazing year. I’d love to see you in person someday if you have concerts near me. I can’t wait to meet you someday."

As of now, from the premiere episode of ‘The Voice’ Season 19, contestants Tamara Jade and John Holiday went to Team Legend, Team Gwen also got two talented contestants in the form of Lauran Frihauf and Payge Turner. Joseph Soul, Eli Zamora and Marisa Corvo opted for Team Kelly and Team Blake got Ian Flanigan, Jim Ranger and Taryn Papa.

Apart from the singing skills of the contestants, fans will also notice a few changes in the show due to the unfortunate global pandemic. The coaches sit farther apart and host Carson Daly will also keep his distance. ‘The Voice’ Season 19 premiere episodes will be aired on NBC. Fans can also catch the singing reality show on the official website of NBC and on their official app along with the network's new streaming service Peacock.

Todd Tilghman was announced as last season's winner from Team Blake at the age of 42 making him the oldest winner in the series history, a record previously held by Josh Kaufman.
