'The Voice' 21 Finale: Jershika Maple dubbed 'superstar material' after performance

Ed Sheeran, it appears, created a live backing track before he started to sing with the help of his loop station placed on the stage.  When he finally went to the mic, apparently there was no sound as he then kept adding more percussion to the looping track before the mic issue got sorted. Speaking of the finale, five singers made it to the last round. Singers namely Wendy Moten and Paris Winningham got in the finale from Team Blake, whereas, Girl Named Tom and Hailey Mia represented Team Kelly. John Legend with sole member Jershika Maple landed in the finale as Ariana Grande got out of the race with no members left in her team.
 
Coming back to Ed Sheeran’s glitch, social media users took to Twitter to speak about the same. “Someone did @edsheeran very dirty with the sound on @NBCTheVoice”, said one viewer as another chimed in, “Ed Sheeran’s Shivers is a catchy song. Btw, the microphone prep person is gon get fired for that lol.” Another user added, “#EdSheeran recovered from a mic issue!!” while, one asked, “chile not ED SHEERAN’s mic not WORKING?!” The next one joked, “Why is ed sheeran throating this mic”, as another posted, “Was it just me or Ed Sheeran mic was off.” Meanwhile, one shared, “It’s so embarrassing that his mic isn’t work LOL.
