But given that one contestant was at a theoretical disadvantage, tonight&#8217;s outcome&#8211;especially if it does not fall in favor of Kaufman&#8211;will come under fire.<\/p>\n<p>NBC has yet to formally address the situation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0},"categories":[1048],"tags":[2106,210,2347,177],"adace-sponsor":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>iTunes Error Affects &quot;The Voice&#039;&quot;s Josh Kaufman<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"A categorization error on iTunes appears to be affecting one of NBC&#039;s three &quot;The Voice&quot; finalists.
