Will.i.am rages at music label over The Voice's 'flop' Leanne Mitchell

The Voice coach Will.i.am has hit out at record label Universal over the failure of last year's winner to succeed in the charts.

Leanne Mitchell's debut single did not even reach the top 40, while her album recently missed out on the top 100.

The Black Eyed Peas star told the Radio Times: 'The record company should be freakin' embarrassed. Somebody should be held accountable.

The Voice champ to be silence:

Leanne Mitchell faces being dropped by record label

As the ratings-challenged BBC talent series The Voice splutters to its second season final tomorrow night, I hear there is bad news looming for last year’s champion, Leanne Mitchell (right).

I am told that her Universal label, Decca Records, is preparing to drop her after her first three singles were embarrassing flops and she sold fewer than 1,000 copies of her first album, entering the chart at a lowly number 134.

‘She may have won the first series of The Voice, but sadly it’s now abundantly clear she has no future as a successful recording artist,’ a Universal insider tells me.

The timing of the news could not be worse for The Voice producers, who are desperate to prove that the show can still create a music superstar, despite overwhelming proof to the contrary.
