UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 24 singer Huntley sang 'With a Little Help from My Friends' by Beatles during the Live Performance.

Even though the singer's voice was praised many believed his Live performance was rigged because of an audio transmission mix-up.

Viewers felt the performance of Huntley was a bit too loud. However, the "band and the backing vocals" were blamed entirely for the confusion. 

Fans were not able to enjoy the 41-year-old's performance as loudness took away the essence of the music,

A fan wrote on X, "#TheVoice Is it possible to adjust the mix of your audio transmission? The band and backup singers are kind of drowning out the contestants for us tv viewers."

Another one wrote, "The band and singers are too loud. Could not even hear Huntley. Wish he would let his hair loose. Those French braids look painfully tight."

A fan claimed, "I’m sorry but I didn’t enjoy Huntley’s performance. Too much going on."

Another one slammed Huntley's performance, "Huntley just yells not singing."

One fan wondered, "Who do they have mixing live vocals tonight? Huntley is insane but imagine if the backing vocals were actually in the background."

Another fan asked the singer, "Huntley. Please take out the braids. #thevoice I agree the band is too loud and drowns out the singer."

Huntley dedicates his 'The Voice' Season 24 Live performance to his mom

Huntley felt like a failure while growing up. And, all he ever wanted to do was to make his mother feel proud of him. He seems to have achieved his dream by coming on 'The Voice.'

Ahead of the Live performance, Huntely found a letter from his mother in his guitar case. He teared up seeing the letter.

Therefore, the singer dedicated his Live performance to his mother.
