UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: In the latest episode of 'The Voice' Season 25, the Top 9 live performances reached an electrifying climax with the nail-biting unveiling of the voting results. Among the pool of gifted artists, four clinched a coveted spot in the upcoming round thanks to the audience's support, leaving the remaining five to face off in a tense instant save round.

The tension was palpable as only five artists would ultimately advance to the live finale, where they would battle it out for the coveted title. During the Instant Save round, Team Legend's Brian Olesen delivered a powerful rendition of 'Viva la Vida'. Meanwhile, Team Chance's Maddi Jane captivated the audience with her beautiful performance of 'I'll Never Love Again'.

Tay Lewis from Dan + Shay performed 'Wanted', while Dan + Shay's Madison Curbelo chose 'Man in the Mirror' for her save performance. Serenity Arce from Team Chance went with the song 'Because of You.'

As the episode drew close, Bryan Olesen emerged victorious in the Instant Save, securing himself a coveted spot in the finale. However, despite his win, many fans voiced their belief that Maddi Jane was the more deserving candidate for the Instant Save. On X, a fan said, "MADDI SHOULD HAVE WON. America is tone deaf."



 

Another fan wrote, "Maddi was so good but congrats to Bryan."



 

This was followed by another fan who said, "Maddie Jane was incredible- what the heck? I have no affiliation with anyone on the show. I hope someone gives her a shot."



 

One fan noted, "Well, no point watching the whole final without Maddi Jane in it. I might tune in for Nathan's performances Monday and just watch the last 10 minutes for the results next Tuesday night. Good luck Nathan!" Another said, "Awful choice." "Well, that's disappointing," added another fan.
