'The Voice' commits social media suicide by disappointing the BTS ARMY

Some regular The Voice viewers were surely vexed by this Tuesday’s results show, as the unstoppably Season 16-dominating Blake Shelton landed three male country contestants in next week’s top four finale, edging out other worthy contenders like Team Kelly’s Rod Stokes and Team Legend’s Shawn Sounds. But it was a new and very vocal audience -- which had specifically tuned in Tuesday to catch a glimpse of their favorite world-dominating K-pop group -- whose angry #BTSonTheVoice and #BTSxTheVoice hashtags gained a lot more Twitter traction than #VoiceSaveRod and #VoiceSaveShawn. On Monday, The Voice’s official Twitter page teased a quick clip featuring the Jonas Brothers and BTS, declaring, “Tomorrow, two of the world’s hottest bands have a special announcement.” The Jonases did show up in a brief promotional video to share the news that they’ll be performing on The Voice finale May 21, and then host Carson Daly revealed that Taylor Swift and Brendon Urie will also perform. BTS fans probably expected a similar announcement from BTS, who earlier this month had tweeted a photo on themselves running into Voice coach John Legend on the Universal lot. But there was no appearance by, or even mention of, BTS on Tuesday’s episode. Additionally, The Voice’s original teaser tweet from Monday -- the one that had included BTS -- mysteriously disappeared. Hell hath no fury like the BTS Army scorned, so fans understandably spammed the show with outraged (and sometimes quite clever) memes and GIFs, demanding an explanation, an apology, and/or the hour back of their lives that they’d just wasted. As of this writing, the show has not clarified what happened, announced if a (presumably pre-taped) BTS performance will air next week, or responded to Yahoo Entertainment’s request for comment. (The show’s Twitter page has posted the Jonas Brothers’ video announcement, however.) But we at least know the four performers who’ll be competing on next week’s Voice finale: Team Blake’s Dexter Roberts, Gyth Rigdon, and Andrew Sevener, and Team Legend’s Maelyn Jarmon. So, tune in next week for what is basically The Blake Shelton Show, along with performances by the Jonas Brothers, Taylor Swift… and, hopefully, BTS.
