The highly anticipated finale of The Voice 2025 is set to air live on TF1 on May 3, 2025, featuring two remarkable finalists: Mega from Vianney's team and the trio Il Cello, created by renowned coach Florent Pagny. This season has been filled with emotional performances and unforgettable moments, culminating in a showdown that promises to be thrilling.
During the semi-final broadcast on April 26, 2025, Gims, a special guest, performed a medley of his hits, including "Ciel" and "Ninao," setting the stage for the contestants. The semi-final featured three talented singers from Zaz's team: Neven, Gianni, and Maag, who had recently welcomed a new baby. Each contestant brought their A-game, showcasing their unique vocal abilities in hopes of advancing to the final.
Neven, a 24-year-old singer, opened the night with a heartfelt rendition of Jacques Brel's classic "Ne me quitte pas." His performance resonated deeply with both the audience and his coach, Zaz. "He tears my heart out," she said, visibly moved. Jean-Louis Aubert, another coach, praised Neven, noting, "When I see you sing, I may not have guessed it, but I feel all this suffering... you used it. It’s better than resilience; it’s the song that heals." Such sentiments highlight the emotional depth Neven brings to his performances.
Following Neven, Gianni took the stage with a powerful interpretation of Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Zaz expressed her admiration, stating, "I’m impressed. He has taken it to another level." Gianni's talent shone through, and he ultimately secured his place in the final.
Maag, who performed "Né en 17 à Leidenstadt," brought tears to Zaz's eyes. Despite her emotional performance, she did not receive enough votes from the public to advance. However, Pagny recognized her talent, calling her "a great singer born for this." This season has truly highlighted the incredible range of talent among the contestants.
In a separate interview, Emilio Ameco, another contender from Pagny's team, shared his experiences leading up to the semi-final. "I still can’t grasp what’s about to happen. The pressure is immense, especially being in front of millions of viewers," he admitted, laughing nervously. Emilio, who previously participated in The Voice Belgique in 2017, described the challenges of rehearsals and the emotional rollercoaster he experienced. "I have the imposter syndrome; I’ve had many doubts," he confessed. Despite his nerves, he expressed gratitude for Pagny's support, who advised him to be himself and trust his abilities.
During the semi-final, Emilio faced off against fellow team members Il Cello and César. The atmosphere among the contestants was friendly, as they aimed to support each other amid the competition. Emilio highlighted the camaraderie, stating, "We try not to think too much about the competition. We spend a lot of time together, so it’s good that everything is going well between us."
As the semi-final progressed, the public cast their votes, leading to the selection of the finalists. The results revealed that Mega from Vianney's team and Il Cello from Pagny's team would advance to the final. This marks a unique moment in The Voice history, as the final will consist entirely of male contestants for the first time.
In Vianney's team, Mega triumphed over Kilonga and Iman, while Il Cello, a trio of tenors formed by Pagny, outshone Emilio and César. Gianni was chosen over Neven and Maag from Zaz's team, and Mickael Gallo emerged victorious against Aidan Rohr and Laelia from Patricia Kaas's team. The final promises to be an exciting event, showcasing the best of this season's talent.
