Kelly Clarkson and John Legend, judges on The Voice, recently faced backlash after critiquing Gyth Rigdon’s performance of “God Bless the USA.” The song is very patriotic, making it hard for the judges to offer criticism. Clarkson admitted, “It’s tough to critique a song like that,” recognizing how sensitive the situation was.
While they praised Rigdon’s emotional connection to the song, they were honest about his singing. However, some viewers thought their feedback was too harsh, especially considering the patriotic nature of the song.
This incident shows how difficult it can be for judges to balance giving constructive feedback while also respecting the emotional value of a song. It also highlights that art is subjective, and people have different opinions.
