'It Was Rigged': Viewers React After This Contestant Makes It to 'The Voice' Top 5

Cheers turned to jeers following the latest reveal on "The Voice." As five artists prepare to battle it out in the finale, controversy is swirling around one name in particular.

After several weeks of intense performances, "The Voice" Season 27 has revealed its final five contestants heading into the live finale. The high-stakes show, known for launching careers and stirring strong emotions, reached a boiling point after Monday night's results episode.

On May 12, the Top 12 artists took the stage to deliver what many hoped would be their breakout moment. With viewer votes now counted and verified, five singers emerged as the finalists set to compete for the crown on May 19 at 8/7c on NBC.

The episode opened with the announcement of four names: Renzo (Team Legend), Lucia Flores-Wiseman (Team Adam), Jadyn Cree (Team Bublé), and Jaelen Johnston (Team Kelsea).

The fifth and final spot went to Adam David (Team Bublé), who clinched his place via the Instant Save vote. But it was Jadyn Cree's advancement that drew the loudest reaction — and not all of it was celebratory.

Many fans questioned her vocal prowess and suggested her progress in the competition was influenced by outside connections — namely, her father, Bryan Olesen."Jadyn doesn't deserve to win... too many way better singers than her on there!" one viewer vented online. "If she wins I'm done with The Voice cuz it will show me it's rigged cuz of her daddy!!"

Another echoed the concern, "I am convinced that Jadyn and her dad have a connection within the show's production bc he also went way further than he should of on his season. I'm so unreasonable angry about this lol [sic]."

Someone else seconded, "That's what my house was saying too. We're also feeling like it was rigged." Discontent didn't stop there. A particularly harsh critic remarked, "Jadyn is the worst singer to ever make it to the finale in 27 seasons."

Others voiced frustration over the mechanics of the competition itself, arguing that the voting system felt restrictive. "It's useless to have the save votes if we can't change the team. Unfair," one viewer wrote. Despite the outcry, Cree's fans defended her presence in the finale, praising her unique style and charisma.

"Omg! I think she will win this competition!" one supporter posted. Another added, "I'm not caring too much for anyone on the show this year except for Jadyn. She's a breath of fresh air and the only reason I care to even watch."

As the finale approaches, the debate surrounding Cree's place in the top five underscores the passion "The Voice" inspires — and the controversy that often follows fan-voted competitions. Whether Cree will silence her critics or prove her supporters right will be determined in just a few days.

The spotlight now turns to the live finale, where every note and vote will count. As the competition narrows to its final stretch, the top five who brought their A-game in the Live Semi-Finals, hope to secure America's vote one last time.

Cree delivered a high-energy rendition of "I Think We're Alone Now" by Tommy James & the Shondells. Her performance blended retro flair with a modern attitude, and her rock-edgy outfit matched her confident presence. Pre-recorded clips of Cree dancing flashed across the screens behind her, adding a visual concept to the performance.

While Cree stirred the most conversation, her fellow contestants showcased a wide range of styles and emotions. David chose "Lose Control" by Teddy Swims, offering a soulful, emotional delivery that highlighted his vocal strength and vulnerability.

Flores-Wiseman stunned viewers with her take on "Black Hole Sun" by Soundgarden. Her powerful voice and commanding stage presence drew praise as she navigated the rock classic with a dramatic flair that filled the arena.

Johnston opted for a heartfelt country moment, performing Lee Brice's "I Drive Your Truck." His emotional connection to the song was evident, resonating with the audience and judges alike.

Renzo brought a showstopping close to the night with his performance of "Dream On" by Aerosmith. His soaring vocals and dynamic range impressed viewers, sealing his place in the finale.

Each artist took a distinct path in their semi-final performance, showcasing their versatility. With the finale looming, the pressure is higher than ever — and the stage is set for an unforgettable showdown.
