Concerned producers reportedly blame "The Voice's" inability to create a breakout sensation for a significant decline in viewership.
A recently published analysis firmly claims that the show's famous coaches are responsible for this shortfall, alleging their lack of expertise in recognizing true talent.
Since its debut in April 2011, the popular singing competition show has witnessed the rise of several talented artists.
Among them, country sensation Morgan Wallen stands out as the sole former contestant from The Voice who has achieved remarkable success in the music industry.
On the other hand, "American Idol," a show that has produced renowned stars such as Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood, Jennifer Hudson, and numerous acclaimed musicians, stands in stark contrast.
Insiders within the music industry have recently disclosed the alleged frustrations faced by "The Voice" producers as they strive to achieve comparable levels of success.
No Actual Star
According to an insider who spoke to the National Enquirer, the executives behind "The Voice" are constantly frustrated by their inability to create a star that genuinely stands out. They point the finger at the celebrity coaches, blaming them for not adequately nurturing the contestants and helping them reach their full potential.
Despite the involvement of renowned musicians such as Shakira, John Legend, and former "American Idol" contestants Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson, "The Voice" has yet to launch a breakout star in its 24 seasons.
In 2012, Cassadee Pope emerged victorious on the popular singing competition show.
Throughout the early stages of her career, she achieved significant success with two country hits that reached the Top 10 charts.
However, Cassadee Pope has remained absent from the charts for seven years.
In light of the recent decline in ratings, industry insiders suspect that the lack of emerging talents may be the root cause, according to sources familiar with the matter.
Bad Ratings
The most recent season finale of the show garnered a modest 6.7 million viewers, failing to reach even half of the impressive 14 million viewers that tuned in for the finale ten years ago.
Per insider, the show's producers are expressing concerns that it is facing a fate similar to that of the dodo bird due to the absence of a breakout star. This has put immense pressure on the coaches, who are now expected to deliver one.
In a surprising turn of events, Reba McEntire, an influential figure in the world of country music, has entered the realm of The Voice's coaching panel. Season 24 witnesses Reba stepping into the esteemed position previously occupied by her friend, Blake Shelton.
From the beginning, it was clear that Reba's involvement in previous show seasons had left a lasting impression. Making guest appearances as a mentor and battle advisor, her fiery red hair always caught the audience's attention.
