Bryan Olesen's Last Chance Performance of "Viva La Vida" by Coldplay | The Voice Lives | NBC 

I thought that was a sweet gesture also because I believe that Serenity was very emotional and upset so good for him thinking about the young girl who seems to need comforted

Terrible singer

Oh, I see. I thought he wasn't all that happy and done with the whole competition but now I see he was concerned hence his muted response.

Absolutely!!!!

He shouldn't have gotten the instant save. Madison and Maddi Jane were literally 10 times better

But the singing was off and the maddi's were clearly better than him

It didn't work, as you could see it was fake; he wasn't into the song that much. Everything sounded forced!

@@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic When I first heard it I did hear some pitch issues, I'll give you that

​​@@GDmeatball Maddi had a couple of horrible song choices. She was trying to do hip hop and be a performer on top of trying to showcase her beautiful and pitch perfect voice. It's a real shame because I thought she would be in the top 5, but choosing songs where she was only half singing didn't do her any favors. I was really sad to see her go home but hip hop, or whatever she was trying to do, just was her downfall. If that's who she is and wants to be, it's not fair to push her away from that.

​@@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic This performance and the one prior, he seemed super off. He didn't seem like he wanted to be here. He's a super emotional person, so I'm not sure if he was going through it and just wasn't all there, but he definitely wasn't himself. I voted for him and so badly wanted him to go through, and was truly surprised when Carson read his name.

Youre joking right. His worst performance to date ... pitchy, tiredness in voice n demeanor , just off. And i like the guy.

They have been manipulating. The above is a living example, please pay attention!

@@Josh-ox5np Yes, foreign bets have it that he or Asher will be the champion! Gay groups bought an information company to support Arthur!

The same thing has happened to Wendy Morton, I hope FBI can investigate as soon as possible!

Who's Arthur?

Great idea

Totally agree!

That’s Bryan!

it felt rehearsed and staged to me, that might just be me though!

@@fishfox27 Just because it is planned it doesn't mean it is not authentic. Almost everything in a song will be planned but it is in how you delievr it that will make it authentic. Deliver it to express what you are feeling in that moment. Remember almost everything in the song is rehearsed during practice and rehearsal or at least planned.

Just my opinion only I really feel like John had already messed him up with some of those song choices THAT DID NOT FIT BRYAN I actually think he would have done so much better if he had picked Dan n Shay as his coach, I'm sorry they would have made so much better song choices for Bryan. My opinion John has literally screwed him up Its truly sad I will no longer be a John Legend fan, & of course he didn't care that he screwed him up, of course not it's his last yr coaching But we see he made sure to give Nathan better song choices. Nothing against Nathan he's great also. I just feel John literally messed Bryan up just as he has other performers in the past. It was just wrong.I wish the show could be done completely over & Dan n Shay coach Bryan & Everyone could see exactly what I meant. It would be a totally different situation.I promise you

​@@AffectionateChemistryExp-uc7ic John is really a terrible coach! I hated him after dropping Kaylee in the playoffs! No wonder 1 win in 9 seasons, cause he definitely won't win this season

Very down l. Makes you want to cry! VERY DEPRESSING... like The Carpenters

He was there because he sang Phil Collins. It was okay but it lacked pizzazz and it didn't say "I wanna win this" the way that Nathan's performances tell us he's going for it.

@@dashriprock8596, I agree with you. I praised him for the challenge, and it was not a typical song that he would sing. As soon as he was finished with the performance, I took a deep breath, and wondered was it enough. I don’t have the answers as to why we’re not seeing the electrified Bryan, like we did in his audition. He could also prove that he could sing a captivating ballad. I always said “ never touch that song by Collins and don’t ever sing “Time After Time”, by Lauper.” Unless, you are all-in, and have the voice-style that takes you away from the original, and last, but not least, the rehearsal feedback is proper. I would suggest to leave those songs on the shelf. It wasn’t Bryan’s best rendition of a song. The sudden-death performance did place him in the finale, and I’m really happy with that. I hope he brings his a-game next week; a good reset is necessary. I’m also content with the final 5, as I predicted that would be the outcome.

I knew he would be there honestly as Asher, Nathan, Karen, and Josh were always going to get the public votes. Karen and Asher dominated social media. Josh is the only country male which Facebook grandmas love. Nathan was being pimped hard. Bryan does have a big social media followers though which got him the fifth spot at least. I've been missing this side of Bryan the past two weeks, and he comes back slaying.

@@HeroShades, I agree! Your comment was doused with a bit of humor, and it was good! 😂🙃 Nathan being pimped hard and Josh getting the likes from Facebook grandmas!

@@DCLifeObserved Facts. That Queen song was boring and .....bad.

Yeh he’s a decent karaoke singer. lol he’s terrible.

I knew if he didn’t make top 4 he was gonna crush his save song!!!! This is the Bryan I’ve seen up close for the past decade, so excited for America to see him too. A legend on team legend!

@@billgrip He did a great job. You going to the Finale?

I was surprised, as Bryan is one of my favorite voices in the competition, but this didn't do it for me. The high notes sounded forced, and he didn't hit a lot of them on point. The calling out the crowd also seemed as if it was rehearsed and fake; he wasn't into the song that much. Everything sounded forced to me! With that being said, he's a great singer, and was one of my favorites until the live rounds, when he went downhill in my opinion.

@@ZevMeth_originaljewishmusic The Live rounds is when the no longer have autotune. A lot of people say they loved a certain contestant "until the live round."

@@robertantonnyc I understand that very well. It's too bad thought, cause you would think they would only push contestants that were naturally good, but I guess the coaches don't care about that, or maybe they really don't realize the singer is off, which sounds insane to me.

Of course.

​@@YPE302 I'm excited to see what he will do in the finals😃😃😃😃

Me too. But no thanks to John he's about screwed Bryan up completely with his horrible song choices I just hope people realize that was not Bryan's fault put that fault on John, & don't take it out on Bryan & change your mind on voting for him He proved what he can do with the right song in his blind audition. SO please everyone continue voting for Bryan please don't use John's bad song choices against him PLEASE 🙏

He definitely deserved that save!!!!

​@@AffectionateChemistryExp-uc7ic I'll vote for Bryan!!!! He's been one of my favorites since the blind auditions!!!!

It was John's choice

Agree, after his audition, and the battle, the song choices were weak.

Terrible singer! Unbelievable he’s even this far!

@@sayuriyamagata6853 John has a history of picking the most boing songs.

Just to be honest, I will cautiously bet on Bryan Olesen winning The Voice this season.

Bro are u high philcollins was his best performance imo this performance version of Bryan is so so terrible

All his song choices were good

@@jamesAGarfield608 ...and that's why he landed in the sing-for-your-life group...because it was such a good song...yeah, okay

@@dashriprock8596 bc America is dumb and wants him to sing for his life despite him SHOWING his vocal talents and not being a pitchy ebay version of nathan

JOHN CHOSE MOST OF THE SONGS FOR BRYAN TO SING PLEASE DONT TAKE THAT OUT ON HIM. THAT FAULT BELONGS TO JOHN NOT BRYAN

Ew.

Lol no

@@clark5486 Yes he does! You should have voted!

@@ConcertgoerJ.R. who said I didn't

The show is about the voice but yeah winning over. The crowd there was a bold move, but yeah most deserving in the end but i thought the girls after him gave better performances.

It didn't work, as you could see it was fake; he wasn't into the song that much. Everything sounded forced and rehearsed to me!

Just had to put the not hair 8n there... Let me ask, if you truly like him and wanted him to kno that. Why would u say that? Would u like hearing that from someone? Sure u wouldn't.

I think it is amazing that his hair is growing in the opposite pattern from other older men! Men usually go bald in the middle of the head surrounded by a fringe of hair.😅

Terrible singer!

In my opinion he and Nathan are the front runners, they both have amazing voices and the stage presence of professional front men.

He’s a terrible singer!

@@nealjt13 why are you so mad?

Don't try Queen if you can't belt

IKR THANKS TO JOHN HES THE ONE THAT CHOICE THAT SONG NOT BRYAN. JOHN HAS LITERALLY SCREWED BRYAN JUST AS HE HAS A FEW OTHER PERFORMERS IN THE PAST. I WISH TO GOD BRYAN WOULD HAVE WENT WITH DAN N SHAY FOR HIS COACHES .THE SECOND HE CHOSE JOHN I KNEW HE HAD SCREWED UP. SAD BUT TRUE

@@AffectionateChemistryExp-uc7ic Okay then...

I thought he was off key in several of his performances but thought I was in the wrong because of the coaches giving him a standing O.

@BacknMetro yeah sometimes i wonder if there's a difference in the sound and it just translates weird to TV

I was in the same boat. Wanted Bryan or Maddi to win. I voted for Maddi. Her performance last night was just next level great. I think she and Bryan should both be in it still.

I am out East. However, there was some problem with The Voice app on my phone and wouldn't come up to let me vote. I wanted to vote for Bryan.

I also voted for Bryan!!!! I also screamed when his name was called!!!! He deserved the save!!!! I'm happy that he made it through😃😃😃😃

Yall are idiots Bryan isn't special pitchy asf here Walmart nathan sorry

I can’t vote but was screaming too when I heard the song and it was perfect for Bryan‘s voice!

​@@marycarroll9460 Such a wonderful feeling to be staring at the person you want to win and hearing their name called inside of your head, but really being so unsure of the result, then feeling disbelief hearing their name 😭❤️

​@@cherylalt101 I'm so glad you felt the same emotion that I did! Such a fantastic choice of his. Coldplay is everything to me ❤

It was between Bryan and Maddi for me. I voted Maddi. Sad she’s out but Bryan is deserving also.

Amen. 😊

I love his voice too. It makes me feel so good to listen to him.

Yes

Keep dreaming

Asher and Nathan >>>>>>>>>

I agree!!!! I'm also glad that Bryan got the save😃😃😃😃

He’s terrible! What a joke.

@@nealjt13 huh? Song choice is the only thing holding him back. There’s no way he wins now but the right song choice might redeem him His performance of Africa proves that

He doesn't have that killer winner instinct. He wants to enjoy the ride and have a good time. He needs some strong guidance with song choice.

He seemed like something was really bothering him last night but he brought the energy tonight

he has a very cocky and arrogant vibe to me, like he knew he was gonna make it to the finale and not in a good confident way, like idk I just get icky vibes from the way he carries himself on this show

@@fishfox27 I don't get cocky and arrogant from him at all.

@@Ena48145 total speculation, but I felt like Against All Odds was maybe too close to home for him. I don’t have regular tv, so i just see the RU-vid clips and don’t get to watch the “packages” each week with the contestants talking. But his bio on the voice website said something about recently going through a difficult divorce. I looked around online and it looks like he had been married for over 20 years. And he’s Christian and I found an old church thing he wrote talking about how important family life and long-term marriage are to him. How no one in his family stayed married but he met his wife and all her family members were in long term marriages and he thought that was amazing and it definitely seemed like he assumed he was going to be in that situation too. ANYWAY all that to say I completely speculatively think he seems heartbroken and last night seemed to me like he still wishes he could have it all back the way it was. I bet with this show he’s getting tons of attention from women. Maybe this show has thrust him into an identity crisis he wasn’t expecting between ruminating on his old life and still wanting his ex-wife back (against all odds) vs proving to himself that he can be a head-lining star with a line of women ready to date him. I bet he did this show to help him move on and now that it might happen for him he’s freaking out and not sure if he wants to move on. PS I realize I’m just an internet shmoe who knows nothing and this is a lot of speculative detail based on nothing, so don’t come at me.

Maddi's not in the top 5 , so it'll be tough for her to win.
