UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: During the first part of the 'The Voice' Season 25 finale, Bryan Olesen, representing Team Legend, captivated the audience with his rendition of 'Beautiful Things', originally by Benson Boone.

Unfortunately, it appears that many fans were left underwhelmed by his rendition of the song, feeling it didn't quite align with his vocal abilities and failed to capture the essence of the original track's beauty. On X, one fan said, "He is not doing this song justice at all. Sorry Bryan, not a fan."



 

Another fan chimed in, "Bryan…smh…that song was too big for him." One fan wrote, "he did not do that Benson Boone song justice at all lol not John getting emotional over that performance wtf." Followed by a fan who wrote, "Brayn is just okay in my opinion."



 



 



 

Another fan wrote, "I need those that have been voting for Bryan to stop & look at his performances (especially tonight) compared to the other 4 & vote for someone else because Bryan can’t win this over Nathan, Josh Asher & Karen that would be insane."
