The Voice is Gearing Up For a Huge Episode Tonight, with Performances, Former Coaches, and Crowning the Winner
Previously, The Voice showcased its current talent with ballads, as the Top 5 took the stage and brought some of the coaches to tears. Bryan Olesen made John Legend emotional with his rendition of Benson Boone’s “Beautiful Things.” Similarly, Josh Sanders caused Reba McEntire to tear up when he sang Vince Gill’s “Go Rest High on That Mountain.”
Fans were also emotional about the performances, even going so far as to crown Nathan Chester the winner in their hearts. Nathan has been a fan favorite for his confidence, personality, and singing ability. John Legend previously pointed out that Nathan came to The Voice knowing exactly who he is and what he wants to do, and he’s proved Legend right throughout the competition.
“WoW!! Nathan Chester didn’t just kick off the night, that performance likely just won the whole finale!! That was incredible!! ‘It’s Your Thing’ and your gonna win it son!!” one fan wrote on Twitter/X while Nathan performed the Isley Brothers’ “It’s Your Thing.”
