Team John Legend's Zan Fiskum tackled Camila Cabello's 'Never Be the Same' in this week's episode.

Zan has been a favorite of fans from the beginning of the competition, both due to her voice as well as her overall vibe. Her at-home performances have been magical and other-worldly. 

"What a great performance @zanfiskum Absolutely beautiful! #TheVoice," tweeted one fan, while another simply stated, "Zantastic!"

The coaches were fans of her performance as well. John tweeted, "Great job @zanfiskum! What a beautiful setup for your performance #TeamLegend #TheVoice," and a fan shared, "You gotta Love that @kellyclarkson is every @NBCTheVoice contestants Hype (Wo) Man #TheVoice (ie the woo for Zan)."

Despite having several hit songs, Camila is an often hated celebrity. Even when she's performing on charity benefits like 'One World' and making an appearance on Nickelodeon's 'Kids' Choice Awards' to collect her award, the singer generally finds herself on the receiving end of significant hate, owing mostly to her own past missteps.

So naturally, some fans of Zan and viewers of the show made their hatred of Camila known.

"Zan is making me like this song," tweeted one fan while another asked, "Wow, Camila WHO ???" before adding, "That was astounding."

'The Voice' host Carson Daly pointed out that 'Never Be the Same' is not an easy song to sing and coach Nick Jonas agreed, adding that he loved Zan's arrangement and unique ability to make every song her own.

John jumped in to highlight that Zan actively participated in the arrangement, adding her singing was a masterclass in jumping between the head voice and chest voice before gushing over her ability to dance between the notes while she sings.

Not all viewers were fans of her performance, however.

"I really love zan so much but I wasn't really feeling this performance this week and I think it was the song choice that did that for me but no matter what this girl is a star #TheVoice," tweeted one fan, while another stated, "I love Zan but she kinda lost me with that version of that song #TheVoice."

Some fans of the song were upset, stating, "Zan FisKum just ruined Camila Cabello’s song. #Ouch #TheVoice."

Some viewers had other issues with Zan's performance, tweeting, "Sadly could not understand what she was saying. She needs to enunciate."
