Ahead of Monday night’s episode of The Voice, the show shared a one minute clip of a mysterious singer. The singer, whose identity is not revealed in the clip, seems to impress the judges. Fans are disappointed in the show for such a short clip.
Mysterious Cowgirl Sings “Too Good at Goodbyes”
Although this clip is short, it ramps up the energy for Monday night’s episode. Within the one minute clip, the singer performs “Too Good at Goodbyes” by Sam Smith. During cut away shots, coaches Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé are enjoying her voice. At the end, McEntire is seen saying “wow” to Stefani.
Typically, fans at home are able to see what the contestant looks like right away in the Blind Auditions. Now, the show is keeping identities unknown to ramp up the energy for the upcoming episode. Unlike last week’s early release clip, the singer’s name is not revealed in the YouTube description.
If you want to see how many chair turns this singer gets, be sure to tune into The Voice. The show returns to NBC on Monday, October 7.
Fans Are Not Enjoying These Clips
In case you missed it, NBC typically releases an early release clip on Friday ahead of a new episode of The Voice and America’s Got Talent. These clips are pretty popular, since people can’t seem to get enough of these shows.
Now, fans are begging the show to stop posting these short leaks. In the past, these early releases were full clips, featuring coach reactions, as well as a face reveal. The early release ahead of this week gained 100k views on YouTube in the past 7 days. Comments on this early release are similar to this weeks.
“Are they seriously cutting the sneak peeks shorter?” a fan commented last week. “I get it could be a ploy to get more people to watch the episode, so they can see what happens, but they’ve literally never done this before. Hopefully the sneak peeks aren’t like this for the rest of season.”
“Are you too greedy to give us the full leak or what” another user commented on today’s early release.
In addition to complaining about the shortened early releases, fans are commenting on the misleading title of this week’s early release. Although the singer is seen wearing a cowboy hat, and labeled as “cowgirl” she’s not singing a country song. Fans were disappointed this auditioner wasn’t a country voice.
“That is not country. Not the voice, and not the song,” another user commented. “Country music is all about having the relationship anyways, living life to live, whatever happens.”
