The Voice Season 25: Top 9 Elimination Predictions and Fan Poll

The Voice 25 Top 9: Poll Results and My Predictions

Thanks to everyone who voted in the polls and confirmed they were showing correctly. The Voice Season 25 reaches a critical point: after Tuesday’s Top 9 performances, four artists will advance directly to the finale based on America’s votes, and the remaining five will compete in the Instant Save for the final spot in the Top 5. Host Carson Daly will announce the four who move on from the public vote, while the Instant Save decides who joins them in the two-night finale on NBC.

Below you’ll find the collective poll results and my predictions for who will advance and who is likely to be eliminated. For context, I summarize favorite solo and trio performances, which contestants fans think should leave, Facebook performance metrics, and my prediction for the Top 5.

Your The Voice 25 Top 9 Poll Results

Favorite Top 9 Solo Performance

Asher HaVon leads this category once again and has traction across platforms. Even non-coach John Legend praised Asher as one of the strongest vocalists remaining. That said, the solo poll was unusually close — only a few percentage points separate all nine contestants, with the largest gap just five points between Karen and Josh. This tight distribution suggests several performers are resonating almost equally with fans.

1. Asher HaVon – Team Reba – Irreplaceable – 19.19%
2. Nathan Chester – Team Legend – Try a Little Tenderness – 17.17%
3. Karen Waldrup – Team Dan + Shay – Stay – 16.16%
4. Josh Sanders – Team Reba – White Horse – 11.11%
5. Maddi Jane – Team Chance – Greedy – 10.61%
6. Madison Curbelo – Team Dan + Shay – Time After Time – 10.10%
7. Bryan Olesen – Team Legend – Against All Odds – 7.07%
8. Serenity Arce – Team Chance – We Can’t Be Friends – 4.55%
9. Tae Lewis – Team Dan + Shay – Amazed – 4.04%

Favorite Top 9 Trio Performance

The trio performances got mixed reactions. Fans favored the emotional, stadium-style arrangement and group vocal blend despite some distracting staging choices. The most popular trio by a wide margin combined strong harmonies with an expansive arrangement that clearly resonated on social media.

1. Asher HaVon, Madison Curbelo, Serenity Arce – Fix You – 56.69%
2. Josh Sanders, Karen Waldrup, Tae Lewis – Forever Young – 24.41%
3. Bryan Olesen, Maddi Jane, Nathan Chester – Just Like Heaven – 18.90%

Which 4 Contestants SHOULD Go Home

Poll respondents were most likely to say that Bryan Olesen should leave the competition, though his rock background and steady fanbase make him harder to dismiss outright. Audience opinion on who should go is important, but it doesn’t always match actual voting behavior.

1. Bryan Olesen – Team Legend – 21.49%
2. Serenity Arce – Team Chance – 18.27%
3. Tae Lewis – Team Dan + Shay – 17.67%
4. Maddi Jane – Team Chance – 13.65%
5. Josh Sanders – Team Reba – 7.63%
6. Nathan Chester – Team Legend – 6.63%
7. Karen Waldrup – Team Dan + Shay – 5.22%
8. Madison Curbelo – Team Dan + Shay – 5.22%
9. Asher HaVon – Team Reba – 4.22%

Which 4 Contestants WILL Go Home

Predictions on which contestants will be eliminated show Tae Lewis and Bryan Olesen among the names most fans expect to exit. Tae was in danger last week and, even though he performed late in the lineup, a late slot doesn’t guarantee safety. Poll respondents listed Madison Curbelo, Nathan Chester, Karen Waldrup, Josh Sanders, and Asher HaVon as the likely survivors, with Tae, Bryan, Serenity Arce, and Maddi Jane seen as the most vulnerable.

1. Tae Lewis – Team Dan + Shay – 19.60%
2. Bryan Olesen – Team Legend – 18.78%
3. Serenity Arce – Team Chance – 8.12%
4. Maddi Jane – Team Chance – 14.50%
5. Madison Curbelo – Team Dan + Shay – 10.05%
6. Nathan Chester – Team Legend – 5.77%
7. Karen Waldrup – Team Dan + Shay – 4.94%
8. Josh Sanders – Team Reba – 4.12%
9. Asher HaVon – Team Reba – 4.12%

The Voice 25 Top 9 Facebook Stats

Facebook play counts and likes provide another perspective on public engagement. Karen Waldrup led in plays and likes, while Maddi Jane received the fewest plays for her performance. Social metrics don’t directly translate to votes, but they’re a useful gauge of interest and reach.

Predictions

Last week my record was 50%. For this round I predict the following: Karen Waldrup, Asher HaVon, Josh Sanders, and Bryan Olesen will advance through America’s vote. I expect Madison Curbelo to secure the final Top 5 spot by winning the Instant Save.

Maddi Jane, Nathan Chester, Serenity Arce, and Tae Lewis are the contestants I expect to exit the competition after Tuesday’s results.

These predictions combine poll sentiment, social engagement, and recent performance trends. The competition is tight, so anything can happen once America casts its votes and the Instant Save plays out live.
