This is a genuine competition with real stakes for competitors, and the show should reflect that.
I already get a ton of banter between the coaches during the singing rounds, and I appreciate that.
I prefer to see genuine ribbing between the coaches and real interactions as opposed to these skits that makes any bond between these musicians appear hokey at best.
I’m not saying The Voice can’t have fun every once in a while, but I’d like to see the show take a step back from doing quite so many sketches and focus more on the singing and competition going forward.
