This is it!
Tonight, the fourth winner was crowned!
But before Voice host Carson Daly revealed the winner…the audience was treated to dozens of amazing performances.
Christina Aguilera came home a vengeance as she and Pitbull performed their massive hit: “Feel This Moment.” Her vocals were bombastic as confetti rained down on the Voice stage and she received a standing ovation from Usher and Blake Shelton.
The Swon Brothers brought back fellow Team Blake members Justin Rivers and Holly Tucker plus Team Adam’s Amber Carrington to perform Lady Antebellum’s “Stars Tonight.” The quintet did the Grammy-winning group and their coaches proud as their harmonies were tight and represented the best in the next generation of country music.
Michelle Chamuel joined forces with her favorite band, OneRepublic, to sing their new hit: “Counting Stars.” Unlike her collaboration with Fall Out Boy, Ryan and the OneRepublic men let her shine and her harmonies with the band were stunning.
After Blake showed off that he tried to copy Usher’s coaching style all season, Florida Georgia Line and Nelly blazed across the stage to perform their collaboration “Cruise,” while the men of Team Shakira and Team Usher (Garrett Gardner, Kris Thomas, Josiah Hawley and VEDO) joined forces to perform a cover of the Temptations’ “Ain’t Too Proud to Beg.”
Danielle Bradbery recruited Amber, Caroline Glaser and Sarah Simmons to tackle Carrie Underwood’s “All-American Girl.” The music drowned the quartet and some of them shouted throughout the performance. After seeing the final edition of Voice confessionals, Bruno Mars transported everyone back to the 1970s and early 1980s with his latest single: “Treasure.”
The Swon Brothers took the stage with the legendary Bob Seger and they performed his 1976 hit “Night Moves.” They sounded great with the rock legend and they should record this song for their debut album. Before the show went to break, they showed a package paying tribute to Shakira’s love of the English language and Adam, Blake and Usher’s inability to spell.
Season Four’s resident divas Judith Hill, Sasha Allen, Cáthia and Karina Iglesias teamed up for a powerful cover of En Vogue’s “My Lovin’ (You’re Never Gonna Get It).” Before the show went to break, Carson had one final surprise for the final three contestants. They got a new car from KIA Motors and to see their reactions were awesome!
Danielle performed with one of her favorite country acts, Hunter Hayes. The young country stars shined and their vocals blended well together. After the Voice crew cleaned up the mess that the Danielle-Hunter Hayes duet left behind, Michelle brought back Team Usher for Stevie Wonder’s cover of “We Can Work It Out.”
After Cher closed out the guest performances with the debut of her new single: “Woman’s World” it was time for Carson to reveal the crucial results…
The artist that came in third place were the Swon Brothers….
The Winner of The VOICE WAS…………..DANIELLE BRADBERY!
That was the wrong call, America!
Thank you for joining me this season! I cannot wait for this show (and Cee Lo Green and Xtina to come back this fall!)
