UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: In the most recent installment of 'The Voice' Season 25, as semi-finals week kicked off, the 9 remaining contestants took to the stage to perform heartfelt songs that held a special significance for them, evoking memories of home and paying tribute to their loved ones. The emotional performances were a touching reminder of the importance of family and the support system that has helped each contestant reach this point in the competition.
Bryan Olesen, a member of Team Legend, took to the stage to represent his hometown of Nebraska with a powerful rendition of Phil Collins' hit song, 'Against All Odds.' With a desire to make his community proud, Bryan poured his heart and soul into his performance, showcasing his talent and determination to succeed in the competition.
