'The Voice' Season 25 fans criticize L Rodgers' Instant Save performance, blame nerves for disappointing act
UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: In the recent episode of 'The Voice' Season 25, titled 'Live Top 12/ Quarterfinals Results', Carson Daly, the show's host, announced the names of 8 contestants who secured a spot in the coveted semi-finals thanks to the support and votes of the viewing audience.
During the results show, L Rodgers of Team Reba found herself among the bottom four contestants after failing to receive enough votes from the audience. In a bid to secure an Instant Save from judges Dan+ Shay, Reba McEntire, Chance the Rapper, and John Legend, she delivered a heartfelt performance of 'Don't Let The Sun Go Down on Me' originally by Elton John and George Michael.
However, it seems that L Rodgers' performance did not meet the expectations of the show's fans, leading to a wave of disappointment expressed on various social media platforms.
On X, a fan wrote, "L rodgers and nadege didn’t do so good. Sucks because I was rooting for them but they didn’t perform well two nights in a row."
