On the twenty-second day of September, in the twenty-eighth season of the great contest of song known as The Voice, the stage was set, the lights burned bright, and the singers came forth one by one to seek the turning of the mighty chairs.
That night, the people beheld wonders — voices that soared, tales of sorrow and triumph, and even tears upon the face of Reba the Red Queen of Country. Yet among all these marvels, one twist emerged that none had foreseen: the Carson Callback.
For lo, Carson Daly, the long-standing herald of the show, was granted a power unlike any before — the power to summon back a fallen singer. One who had been cast aside, with no chairs turned, might yet return to sing again.
And so he called forth Ryan Mitchell, a youth of twenty-five years. Given but a single day and night to prepare a new song, Mitchell stepped once more into the fire of the stage. This time, his voice struck true, and he was claimed by Lady Reba herself. Thus was the first tale of the Carson Callback written into legend.
The Measure of the People: Numbers and Signs
But how fared the season in the eyes of the realm? The keepers of the Nielsen Scrolls, who record the count of watchers, gave their report:
- On the first night, 5.206 million souls gathered to witness the contest.
- On the second night, the number grew, rising to 5.425 million watchers.
Thus did The Voice stand as the second most beloved show of that night, bowing only to the gladiatorial clash of Monday Night Football, wherein the Lions battled the Ravens.
The Murmurs of the Crowd
Yet numbers alone tell not the full tale, for the people themselves gave voice to their judgment. Across the great digital square called Facebook, they cried out:
- “The finest judges ever!”
- “A joy to behold! The Carson recall was grand!”
- “Better than all seasons past — let these four remain forever!”
Some swore they had watched twice, finding delight anew each time.
But as in all things, not every voice sang in harmony. Among the praises came grumblings:
- “The jesting and banter of the judges is too much — I turned away.”
- “The show is no longer about the voice — it is but skits and bickering.”
- “They choose not the truly gifted. I am finished.”
So was the chorus divided, half in adoration, half in doubt.
The Prophecy Ahead
And thus, the tale of Season 28 begins with triumph, debate, and the power of the Callback. What lies ahead is yet unwritten: which voices shall rise, which hearts shall break, and which champion shall stand at last in glory.The Voice ratings revealed after the first Blind Audition spark huge reactions as viewers can’t stop talking about one unexpected twist

Season 28 Of The Voice Premiered On September 22nd – What Were The Ratings?
The ratings for the Season 28 premiere of The Voice have started to trickle in, along with viewers’ opinions about the new season.
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!!!!“
But of this, the people are certain — the contest remains a fire that cannot be quenched, a stage where dreams are tested, and where one twist may change destiny forever.
