The Queen of Country and the Four-Chair King are bringing their majesties to “The Voice” finale.
The teams of coaches Reba McEntire and John Legend scored big victories during the semifinals results show Tuesday night. The Top 9 contestants learned which singers would be competing for the Season 25 title after singing their hearts out on Monday.
Team Reba and Team Legend are leading the finale pack, with each team boasting two singers in the Top 5.
Team Reba’s Asher Havon was one of the lucky vocalists. The Alabama singer “floored” McEntire during Monday’s live show with a soulful performance of “Irreplaceable” by Beyoncé.
“You have grown so much,” McEntire told Havon. “Your appearance, your stage presence and your singing’s always been magnificent. Thank you for shining for God.”

Who won the Instant Save on 'The Voice'?
Bryan Olesen of Team Legend clawed his way into the Season 25 finale and won the Instant Save vote with a thrilling cover of “Viva La Vida” by Coldplay.
The 50-year-old singer’s soaring vocals and infectious charisma turned the NBC singing competition into his own farewell concert. “If this is my last time onstage, I need everybody singing this with me,” Olesen told the studio audience. “Give me this moment.”
The performance also earned a rave review from his coach Legend.
“I was just talking to Dan + Shay (about) how important picking the right song for this moment is, and that was just a grand-slam choice,” Legend said. “It was rousing. It was energizing. It was right in your pocket as a vocalist and as a performer.”
