Idol Chatter & Voice Views

Voice publicists have been touting the history-making nature of Season 28 since the day it began.

The show is making Voice history, for sure. In all the wrong ways.

And The Voice is about to do it again.

For the first time in the show’s history, fans will tune in Monday night not knowing who all the finalists are.

Now how freaking ridiculous is that?

Should fans of DEK of Hearts tune in to watch the country-pop trio perform again? How about fans of Max Chambers, Yoshihanaa or Aaron Nichols, all mic drop recipients? Should those fans be prepared to vote for their favorite in the finals?

The Voice isn’t going to tell us. Not until the beginning of Monday’s nights show.

Of course, that silly history-making first follows — and is a result of — a couple of others.

For the first time in Voice history, there isn’t at least one live show between the playoffs and the finale.

This season, singers have made the finals on the basis of just three solo performances and one duet, the fewest ever. Another first. Yippee!

And, for the first time in Voice history, coaches handpicked singers for the finals.

Those are the finalists we know — Jazz McKenzie of Team Michael, Aubrey Nicole of Team Reba, Aiden Ross of Team Niall and Ralph Edwards of Team Snoop.

Hmm. Two males, two females. None of whom sing the same style of music. None of whom received mic drops.

Wow, almost like the producers had it mostly planned out since the knockouts.

Producers graciously allowed fans to select two wild card finalists. If you can’t read the scarcasm in that sentence, trust me, it’s there. Those are the results we don’t know yet.

Why? Well, I presume The Voice wanted some drama for the start of Monday’s show.

But voting ended at 7 a.m. Tuesday. There’s no reason the show couldn’t have announced the other two finalists online anytime between then and now.

That would seem fairest. That would help ensure fans of the wild card finalists know they should be watching on Monday and Tuesday.

That would help put the wild card finalists on even footing with the hand-picked four, who have been able to spend the last week doing interviews and rallying their fan bases.

The singers eligible for the wild card from night one of the playoffs include Aaron Nichols, Peyton Kyle and Ryan Mitchell of Team Reba; and Max Chambers, Rob Cole and Trinity of Team Michael.

The singers eligible for the wild card from night two of the playoffs include Mindy Miller, Toni Lorene and Yoshihanaa of Team Snoop; and Kirbi, Ava Nat and DEK of Hearts from Team Niall.

Rob Cole might have spoiled part of the surprise. The country singer from North Carolina posted a photo to his Instagram Thursday. From L.A.

In the caption, he writes: “Such a special week being back around the music and amazing people here at The Voice! Can’t share details yet… but you’ll want to tune in Monday and Tuesday for finale week!”

The performance finale is Monday at 9 p.m. The results show also begins at 9 .m. Both are two-hour shows.
