Is Zoe Levert okay? 'The Voice' Season 25 fans claim singer seemed 'nervous' and 'off-key' in Live performance
UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Zoe Levert opened up about her wedding experience with her mentor, John Legend. However, as she performed Noah Kahan's 'Stick Season,' viewers started questioning whether nerves were causing her to be "off-key" during her live performance.
While we might not be rushing to form Zoe's fan club anytime soon, the newlywed managed to handle the fast-paced lyrics of Noah's hit song decently. However, there wasn't a single gesture or moment in her performance that made the audience declare, "Yep, she's a star."

Regardless of the coaches' feedback, the performance was pleasant but ultimately forgettable.
On Reddit, one fan asked, "Was Zoe off key there a little? She seemed nervous." They further chimed in, "I feel like they need to be honest with them and just tell them when they are off. The Lives get too congratulatory."
One fan claimed, "It was not good at all." The fan added, "I just screamed "Sir, you are a LIAR" when he said she was great and her pitch was great..."
Another fan noted, "I've always liked Zoe and I thought she did well as usual, but the song choice made for a forgettable performance." One fan asked, "Is Zoe trying to be Taylor? If so, it is not working."
On X, one fan wrote, "Zoe back up off the mic, I promise we can hear. You don’t need to eat the mic." Another wrote "Can’t understand Zoe’s words. Needs more enunciation. Another meh song voice. Judges need to help with selection."
