UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Two hopefuls from Reba McEntire's squad advanced to the semi-finals based on their live show performances. The bottom four artists fought for an Instant Save after the episode, and 'The Voice' viewers believe the coach needs to see a doctor after praising L Rodgers.

L sang Elton John and George Michael's song "Don't Let the Sun Go Down on Me". She hoped to persuade Americans to vote for her as the Instant Save winner.



 

Reba said, "I think it’s enough and more. You are such a great vocalist. You have the power; you have the soul. That was a great performance."

On Reddit, fans claimed, "Yeah L is bad no business going through but I feel she might just because she's on Reba's team." Another person added, "Reba pls that was not good."

One user wrote, "Made me even more sad that Jackie didn't get to go to lives 🥲." A fourth person suggested, "She doesn’t have to act like it was her best performance so far." 

Reacting to her comments, fans took to X to write, "This might be an unpopular opinion but L is not my favorite but I’m loyal and #TeamReba." Another user chimed in saying, "My Gosh Reba, you need an ENT doctor fast, your ears definitely have to be check . What a brutal performance by L Rogers." 



 



 

One user felt, "Reba still lying to L! Thats why L sound terrible because the coaches dont know how to be honest." "Reba must have been listening to another performance because that was bad," added another.



 



 

Did L Rodgers advance to 'The Voice' Season 25?

The vote was open for 5 minutes. After all the votes were counted, Carson Daly revealed that Tae Lewis of Team Dan + Shay was the final artist to make the Top 9. 

L from Team Reba, Nadège Moss from Team Chance and Zoe Levert from Team Legend were ultimately eliminated.

Who is L Rodgers in 'The Voice' Season 25?

L always sensed, as a child, that there was something unique about her. She didn't go further into her studies and discover her autism until a few years ago.

Her path with autism has not been complete without music. Her father, a talented guitarist, helped her develop her gift; thus, she grew up surrounded by music.

L, who was bisexual when she was in her 20s, wed a guy, but in the end, she valued being true to herself and came out as a lesbian, falling in love with her current spouse, Dara. L has amassed a sizable following on TikTok—more than 250,000—by embracing her actual self.

Even though she fights Alzheimer's, L feels that singing will provide her Memaw with a unique connection, and she believes that 'The Voice' will highlight her skill and bring her Memaw joy.
