UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Phoenix, Arizona native Lennon VanderDoes stunned 'The Voice' Season 24 judges as he left them drooling over his performance. But, it looks like NBC failed to capture the essence of the 27-year-old singer's performance.

Lennon is an indie folk singer and songwriter, who was accompanied by his wife and father for the audition round. 

Despite Lennon's soulful performance, fans were left disappointed, blaming NBC network for "awful audio mixing."

A fan commented, "Need to turn down these crowd noises in editing. Smh." Another slammed the show, "Did they upload all these videos with the audio messed up because every single audition video from today have been having bad audio when they're singing."

A fan wondered, "Who edit the sound of this? So low the singer audio, and only my left ear is blessed." Another claimed, "The audio mixing when the Judges talk during the song is awful." Another noticed, "audio sounds off."

A fan slammed NBC, saying, "They need to edit the sound on their videos, horrible editing."
