UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: During 'The Voice' Season 25 finale Part 1, Bryan Olesen engaged in a heartwarming conversation with John Legend and Carson Daly as they reflected on his incredible journey. John expressed his joy in working with Bryan, while Bryan himself shared the significance of performing a Queen song during the top 12 round.

During his second performance of the evening, Bryan chose to showcase his talent with an energetic rendition of 'Freedom! '90' by George Michael. Following his performance, John expressed his admiration by exclaiming, "I loved it, I loved it" and playfully remarked on Bryan's signature dance moves.

However, despite John's praise, some fans couldn't resist drawing comparisons between Bryan's vocals and those of the well-known talk show host, Jimmy Fallon, poking fun at his performance.

One fan wrote, "Sorry no. He sounds like Jimmy Fallon." Another fan said, "Why do I hear Jimmy Fallon now." One fan quipped, "Nope."



 



 



 

Another fan said, "The backup singing was not on point production-wise, too soft, impacted the effect. If your 2nd song was as great as your 1st... The 1st was perfect, u connected to your song like singers dream to & all the music lovers out there had the experience we always hope for. Congrats!"
