On Monday’s episode of “The Voice,” the Season 23 playoffs began for Team Blake Shelton and Team Chance the Rapper. (Team Kelly Clarkson and Team Niall Horan will have their time in the spotlight next Monday.) Of the whopping six artists that were sent packing this week — three from each team — we asked our users to vote for who was unjustly eliminated, and their poll results overwhelmingly favor Kala Banham. She gained fans this year by jumping around from coach to coach, starting on Team Niall, then moving over to Team Kelly, before finally settling in at Team Chance.
Indeed, Kala nabbed 51% of fans’ votes, compared to 19% for their second-place choice, Jamar Langley of Team Chance. Interestingly enough, the only Team Blake member with double-digit support was Mary Kate Connor at 12%. Here are the complete poll results for who your fellow “The Voice” viewers think was most robbed this week:

While these six crooners received the worst news possible on May 1, four of their fellow artists did advance to the Top 8 thanks to the coaches’ decisions. Blake saved Grace West and NOIVAS, while Chance kept Ray Uriel and Sorelle. Next week on May 8, Kelly and Niall will add two more artists each to the live semi-finals, and then America will finally get to weigh in with their votes beginning May 15.
Here’s a refresher on the six contestants who were eliminated from “The Voice” in Week 1 of the playoffs:
Kala Banham (age 24) from Windermere, Florida sang “Both Sides, Now” during the blind auditions and earned two chair-turns from Kelly (who was blocked) and Niall, joining Team Niall.
