Season 28 of The Voice started on Monday, September 22nd. Viewers got to see some incredible and emotional blind auditions, including one that moved coach Reba McEntire to tears.
We also witnessed the introduction of a new rule, known as the “Carson Callback.” This twist gives host Carson Daly the power to provide a second chance to a contestant who didn’t turn any chairs during the blind auditions.
Daly gave his “Carson Callback” to 25-year-old Ryan Mitchell. Mitchell had 24 hours to prepare a new song for the coaches and audition again. Mitchell’s second audition aired during the season’s subsequent episode on September 23rd. His hard work paid off, and he landed on Team Reba!
With so much excitement, how did the first two episodes of The Voice‘s 28th season perform ratings-wise?
TV Series Finale is a website that collects and reports on Nielsen Ratings for TV shows. According to their findings, the Voice premiere on September 22nd attracted 5.206 million viewers.
TV Series Finale reports that The Voice was the second-most popular TV broadcast on September 22nd. It was only outperformed by the Monday Night Football game between the Lions and Ravens.
The Voice‘s audience grew on the second night (September 23rd). That evening, 5.425 million people tuned in to see more from the blind auditions.
Voice Fans React To What They’ve Seen On Season 28 So Far
Beyond what the raw data from the Nielsen Ratings shows, how are Voice viewers feeling about Season 28?
The Voice‘s official Facebook page is a great place to gauge the audience’s attitude. On September 24th, they shared a post with two pictures of Coach Snoop Dogg and asked, “We only have one question… Were you tuned in?”
Voice viewers responded with their thoughts on the first two episodes of the season. In general, most people loved what they saw (and heard) during the premiere!
Some of the comments were:
“I love the coaches this year! They are funny and compliment each other ! The only thing I would change is the the skits.”
“Really enjoyed it! Both shows were were great!“
“The absolutely BEST judges!!!!!!!!“
“Yes I’ve watched every minute! Loving it for sure!”
“Awesome two nights so far – loved the Carson recall.“
“I watched it always a great time love it.“
“First two episodes were so good, I’ve watched them twice. Better than any other season so far. These 4 judges need to stay on from now on.“
But there were some less-than-positive reactions as well, including:
“I watched monday but judges were to over the top so didnt watch on tuesday.“
“The premiere show on Monday was NO BIG DEAL I HAVE SEEN BETTER ! And Tue should of been two hours but that sucked too.”
“I used to enjoy watching The Voice, but now all of the hokey Judge banter, bickering, skits, etc. has just ruined it for me… isn’t it called THE VOICE?“
“No, they never really pick the truly talented! I quit!!!!“
