Ed Sheeran performed on the season finale of The Voice and while some fans thought there were technical difficulties, everything was actually working just fine.
There’s an explanation for what was happening during the intro to Ed‘s performance and it’s all part of his musical genius.
Ed, who served as this season’s Mega Mentor, performed his entire song “Shivers” as a solo number and he used a loop station to create a live backing track before he started to sing.

When Ed finally went to the microphone, about a minute into the performance, it appeared that there was no sound. He really was just adding more percussion to the looping track! Some fans seemed to understand what was happening and praised him for his skills, while others thought there was a mic issue.
