Season 21 of ‘The Voice’ ended with Kelly Clarkson’s team winning the show. Kelly, who judged the show in eight seasons won the coveted title for the fourth time with the trio called Girl Named Tom. While many applauded the singers saying they deserved the win others dragged the show brutally after contestants namely Jershika Maple and Hailey Mia could not lift the trophy.
 
Jershika Maple had performed Adele’s cult classic ‘Rolling in the Deep’ in the first finale episode, whereas, Hailey opted for Olivia Rodrigo’s chart-topping number ‘Déjà vu’. Since Jershika and Hailey were the fan favorites, the viewers of the singing reality shoe got furious saying the show was rigged. For the unversed, Jershika Maple from Team Legend stood in the fifth-place whereas, the 14-year-old crooner Hailey Mia secured the fourth position.  Jershika, on two different occasions, came at the bottom but managed to sail through every time. And, if Hailey Mia would have won the show, she would have become the youngest ever to win ‘The Voice’.
