What We Think

For a modern reality show, 'The Voice' keeps things surprisingly non-woke. The focus is on singing talent, and though there are the usual nods to diversity and personal struggle, it doesn't beat the audience over the head with ideology.

Score Breakdown

Compromised:Narrative Integrity

Not Woke

What is this?

'The Voice' is a singing competition where merit is theoretically front and center, contestants are judged (at least initially) on their blind audition performance, not identity. While later seasons have leaned into background stories, the main narrative remains fairly neutral, with the show's success hinging on musical skill.

Compromised:Cultural Foundations

Mildly Woke

What is this?

The show largely avoids taking clear stances on traditional cultural values. Occasionally, contestant backstories reflect non-traditional family arrangements or modern social issues, but these are presented in a fairly balanced and non-lecturing way.

Compromised:Ideological Monoculture

Mildly Woke

What is this?

While 'The Voice' is diverse in its casting and often celebrates identity, alternative worldviews aren't mocked or villainized; the show focuses on music rather than politics. That said, there's occasionally a predictable celebration of modern social causes.
