On Saturday's episode of "The Voice Kids," one contestant was eliminated after delivering an impressive performance, but none of the evaluators turned their chairs.
Auditionee Maisie took the stage to perform her rendition of the 2000 hit "Reach: by S Club 7.
Maisie sang a much slower version of the pop song, and many of the show's fans praised her performance.
Despite receiving enthusiastic applause during her studio audition, evaluators Ronan Keating, Pixie Lott, will.i.am, and Danny Jones decided not to select Maisie. One stunned viewer posted on Twitter: "#TheVoiceKids Wtf? Did they not whirl around to face Maisie? She was a genius. Superior to others that passed through. Ridiculous!"
Someone else wrote, "WTF!!! Danny did not turn, is this a joke?"

While someone else posted, 'They're joking, no chances for Maisie, are they deaf?' with the hashtag #TheVoiceKids.
Another viewer commented, "That's an incredible rendition of reach; how has no one turned #TheVoiceKids yet?" While another person tweeted, "This is a beautiful rendition." Take heed, S Club, #TheVoiceKids.' 'Maisie is AMAZING. What a voice! #TheVoiceKids,' another viewer tweeted.
And another user commented, "Maisie has a beautiful voice and is incredibly talented."
Additionally, fans of "The Voice Kids" were outraged when none of the four judges turned around to select a West End performer, claiming the show is "rigged." It occurred as 12-year-old Ziame performed "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid
Fans were impressed by Ziame's flawless performance, but none of the judges accepted him onto their teams. Ronan Keating and will.i.am had no available seats in their respective groups, whereas Pixie Lott and Danny Jones declined to move despite having available seats. It did not take long for the audience to become enraged, as they deemed the rejection "disgusting."
Ziame responded that he is also a gymnast and inquired if they would like to "see his moves" after being asked if he had any other talents. Ziame performed backflips onstage while the judges applauded. The audience was impressed. Later in the program, Danny's refusal to turn for a young girl when he was the only judge with open spots on his team drew additional criticism from viewers. Later, he acknowledged he had "made a mistake," but his final act was quickly filled when he met young guitarist Will, who took the stage.
