Criticism has been directed towards the coaches of "The Voice," especially Gwen Stefani, for praising a contestant who received significant backlash from fans for her performance.

24-year-old Lila Forde, a John Legend team member, emerged as one of the top five finalists in the show's twenty-fourth season.

She chose "The Weight" by Bob Dylan as her spirited song in her night performance.

During the finale, all the finalists were allowed to showcase their talent with an energetic song and a heartfelt ballad.

Amid the show, Lila exuded an air of tranquility and composure, donning a coordinated ensemble in warm hues that accentuated her radiant complexion.

Adding a touch of glamour, she embellished her attire with bold, oversized accessories crafted from lustrous dark gold, commanding attention as she took her place under the spotlight alongside a dynamic live band.

Following her exceptional performance, every judge praised her, beginning with Gwen.

The former No Doubt front woman said: "You know I'm your fan. I think there's something about you that you have so much confidence, but it's so easy for you."

"Again, adding the audience, adding the love, you just get better and better. You're just weird enough that I believe you."

On the X platform, previously known as Twitter, many dissenting voices surfaced, starkly contrasting the judges' opinions.

A particular individual expressed, "Gwen's words seem to flow incessantly, surpassing her customary level of verbosity."

The grand finale unfolded in a surprising turn of events, bringing an unexpected performance to the stage.

However, this particular act, though belonging to the genre of girlie pop, fans believe this was not destined for victory.

Expressing their dismay, another individual voiced their opinion.

"Instead of sugarcoating their performance, let's take a page from Simon Cowell's book and say, 'Listen, it wasn't your strongest moment, definitely not a grand finale song.' They must receive this kind of feedback."

Fire Gwen Stefani

Fans have been begging for "The Voice" executives to fire Gwen Stefani already.

In September 2014, The Voice welcomed the talented singer, who was then 54 years old, and she graced the show for an impressive span of seasons, including 7, 9, 12, 17, 19, 22, and 24.

Among her remarkable achievements, Gwen experienced the sweet taste of victory during Season 19, when her contestant, Carter Rubin, emerged as the champion of the competition show.

In late November, a solid vocal outcry emerged from devoted fans who expressed their commitment to abstain from watching the program unless a familiar face, Kelly Clarkson, 41, replaced the renowned Gwen.

Opinions flowed freely on X as users expressed their discontent with the current situation.

One user vocalized their disdain towards Gwen Stefani, longing for the presence of Kelly Clarkson. Another user echoed this sentiment, confessing their wavering interest and disappointment in Gwen's performance.

At the start of the season, Gwen was under intense scrutiny and faced relentless demands for her dismissal due to viewer dissatisfaction with her on-air routine.

In an episode from October, viewers were captivated as the judges were compelled to make a difficult decision and match two members of their teams against each other.

Instead of selecting a single winner for the challenge, the duos were tasked with performing the same song together. The coaches would then make their decisions based on the collaborative effort.

Although the judges faced difficulties in their deliberation, Gwen appeared conflicted.

The struggle to choose a deserving winner perplexed her, much to the annoyance of specific viewers of "The Voice."

Expressing their frustration, a critic vented on X, saying, "Gwen's indecisiveness is wearing thin, and I can't say I missed her."
