Predictions
My track record this season has been mixed but respectable. Last week I correctly predicted most of the outcomes, though I missed which contestant would win the Instant Save. That unpredictability is part of what makes the finale so exciting.
My prediction for the season 25 winner: I hope Asher HaVon takes the crown — his performances have been consistently powerful and emotionally resonant. That said, I’m leaning toward Josh Sanders as a dark horse to win. As a country singer with steady performances and broad appeal among singing-show audiences, Josh could pull ahead in the final vote. If forced to pick: Josh as champion, Asher as runner-up. I’d be thrilled to be proven wrong and see Asher win.
No matter who wins, the finale promises standout performances, a celebration of The Voice’s 25-season legacy, and a close finish. Watch the live broadcast to see how the fan votes line up with these poll results and predictions.
