'The Voice' Season 26 semi-finals were destroyed by the house band
When 'The Voice' entered the Live Shows for season 26, the stakes were bigger than ever on that night. There are just five slots available in the Finale, and eight contestants were vying for them.
The two-hour performance showcase did not go as expected, even though there was no room for error now.

Live band drowned out singers in 'The Voice' Season 26 semi-finals
'The Voice' is entirely dependent on technology, from the lighting and sound to the fans' at-home downloading app. It seems that all of those approaches were having trouble on Monday.
When we watched the NBC reality program at home, viewers quickly pointed out that the participants' vocals were difficult to hear and that the audio quality throughout the performances was subpar. We would have liked to hear Christina Eagle and Shye Roberts perform, but the band was drowning everyone out due to the poor mixing.
When we see it on television, it sounds terrible, as if the acoustics are bad and the band is drowning out the vocalists or the singers are plain bad. We wonder what it sounds like to be there live.
At one time, there must have been a problem with the microphones. The duets had always been overshadowed by the ensemble.
