The Nashville hit-maker sang his latest single standing alone in a photography studio that was shown in the camera frame.

Kane danced in front of an alternating blue and pink backdrop as post-production visual effects were added throughout the song.

The video would turn square and grainy to mimic the vintage appearance of television which was not a hit to the fans.

“Why do I feel like I'm watching a low budget music video rn? lol,” one person wrote during the song.

Another fired off: “Kane looking like he's in a bad music video.”

Fans are furious with the show for the new scoring system - which could potentially shut out the "second best" person from the race if they are on the same team as the first.

"The Voice format they are doing where they automatically send the top vote getter from each team is dumb. You aren’t getting the best talent through. Stupid stupid stupid," one opposer wrote.

Another critic blasted: "Changed scoring so each coach will have a chance to be in the finals. And the number two contestant overall could be shutout.

"The Voice has degraded into the "everybody gets a trophy world". Poor little coaches have to have their ego protected."

The show was also slammed last week for added to the first episode that was filmed remotely.

Contestants showed off their vocal talents from houses all over the country while getting critiqued by the coaches - who danced along on the side.

During each song, production added extremely noticeable filters that were dragged for being “distracting” and “outdated.”

“Y'all.. @NBCTheVoice is out here making every one of these performances look like they were shot 30 years ago in a fog on a Nokia camera phone. These were pre-recorded not pre-historic,” one person tweeted.

The Voice two-part finale airs Monday, May 18th and Tuesday, May 19th at 8PM EST on NBC.
