Top 5 Worst Episodes of ‘The Voice’

While The Voice has delivered numerous memorable moments, not every episode has hit the right note with audiences. Here are five episodes that, according to fans and critics, missed the mark:

Season 16 Cross Battles (Episodes 15 & 16)

Introduced as a new format, the Cross Battles pitted contestants from opposing teams against each other, with the audience voting for the winner. However, fans felt this approach disrupted the show’s dynamics. As one Reddit user noted, “All S16’s live episodes were really bad.”

Season 14 Playoffs Night 1 (Episode 15)

This episode featured 24 performances in a single night, leading to rushed critiques and limited audience engagement. A viewer commented, “That’s what happens when you put 24 whole performances in one night.”
Season 11 Top 11 Performances (Episode 20)

Critics and fans alike found this episode lacking in standout performances, with several contestants delivering underwhelming renditions. A fan remarked, “S11’s Top 11 and Top 10 were trainwrecks after trainwrecks.”
Season 14 Finale (Episode 28)

The culmination of Season 14 left many viewers disappointed, citing predictable outcomes and lackluster performances. Discussions on Idol Forums highlighted this sentiment, with users expressing their dissatisfaction.

Season 19 Playoffs (Episode 13)

The pre-recorded nature of this episode, due to pandemic restrictions, led to a perceived lack of authenticity and energy. A fan noted, “I hated the fact that they weren’t live, but still, all around good performances to listen to.”
