During Monday’s episode of The Voice, the two contestants went head to head as they performed Ed Sheeran’s Thinking Out Loud together.
Following the performance, Nick complimented Gihanna and said her voice reminded him on Beyonce.
While the young performer said the comparison was the “highest compliment,” a number of viewers took to Twitter to slam the judge for the comment.
Following the performance, one fan wrote: “Love her voice but sorry to Beyoncé for disrespect.”

The Voice fans continued to slam the Jonas Brothers member as someone else said: “That’s a reach, Nick!”
A following fan tagged Nick in a tweet as they wrote: “seriously like Beyoncé??? Did you get any sleep.”
A final critic tagged Nick before writing: “Beyoncé, really???”
In addition to Nick, the judging panel on the singing competition show includes Blake Shelton, 44, John Legend, 42, and Kelly Clarkson, 38.
Kelly has been absent during recent episodes of the show, while Kelsea Ballerini has stepped in as her temporary replacement.

The country singer is stepping in for the mother of two during the battle rounds as she is feeling “under the weather.”
Last week, fans took to Twitter to admit they don’t miss Kelly on the show.
One person wrote: “So glad you are working in place of Kelly. I hope they keep you and fire Kelly. You are so much better.”
Another added: “I wish Kelsea could stay,” while one chimed in, “it’s so nice not having Kelly there.”
