'The Voice' Season 25: Internet prefers Bryan Olesen's duet with John Legend over his finale performance
UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Bryan Olesen performed gritty renditions of George Michael's 'Freedom! '90' and Benson Boone's 'Beautiful Things' as his final solo performances on May 20. Nevertheless, spectators can't help but compliment the act for his last performance when the 'The Voice' Season 25 finalist reunited with his coach, John Legend.
Together with John, the former Newsboys guitarist wrapped out his Voice career on a positive note. The two had a beautiful bluesy version of 'Feeling Good', their deep vocals harmonizing flawlessly.
