After years of watching audition clips of the Voice on Youtube, I finally decided to actually watch a season. I think maybe because of COVID, the season was a bit shorter/rushed than I expected and I feel like I probably could have just watched performance clips on Youtube and not missed much.

The best thing about the Voice is getting to hear amazing singers that blow you away - and the worst is seeing them eliminated. Some contestants whose auditions were amazing got eliminated really quickly and I wish I had gotten to hear them sing more. This season was only 7 episodes and I think as a result it felt a bit rushed and I didn't always remember contestants' back stories. For this season, after the Battle Round eliminations, half of the contestants were eliminated again and then the semi final and the final took place on the same day. It just seems like a shame that even if contestants win their Battle Round, that doesn't guarantee another performance.

I think for me personally, one of the most disappointing things was that I didn't love all of Golden/G.Soul's performances. I discovered him a few months ago (honestly might have been from his Voice audition) and I LOVE his voice so I think I just had really high expectations knowing that he was going to be one of the contestants. That being said, for other contestants there were stages that I really liked so I think it's just a matter of preference.

Hopefully next year if they do a season and we're no longer in COVID times, the season format will be better and there will be more chances for the contestants to showcase their skills.
