The Voice has officially found its winner for season 27.
During the season finale on Tuesday, May 20, host Carson Daly gathered alongside finalists Renzo (Team John Legend), Lucia Flores-Wiseman (Team Adam Levine), Jadyn Cree (Team Michael Bublé), Jaelen Johnston (Team Kelsea Ballerini) and Adam David (also Team Michael) to see who would be crowned the next winner of the NBC reality series.
After millions of votes from across the country were counted, Adam David was announced the winner of The Voice.
The results come after the finalists had the opportunity to perform two songs each on Monday, May 19.
Jadyn — who is the daughter of Season 25 artist Bryan Olesen — brought the ‘80s back with her performance of “Come On Eileen” by Dexys Midnight Runners.
“You’re a star,” Michael shared after the performance. “Everything you are just comes through. You lead with light.”
Meanwhile, John praised Renzo’s rendition of Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away” at the start of the show. “We heard so much texture and beauty at the beginning of the performance,” he explained. “You’re the show starter this week.”
Although Jaelen accidentally flubbed some of the words during his performance of “What Was I Thinkin'” by Dierks Bentley, his coach offered supportive comments during the live telecast.
“I know you had a moment early on when you got nervous, but the way you recovered is all that matters,” Kelsea shared. “You really showed up. I’m so proud of you.”
Regardless of what the votes would reveal later in the week, Adam praised Lucia’s journey on the show after she performed songs from Pink Floyd and Billie Eilish.
“I’ve wanted you to stay pure throughout this competition,” he said during the live show, “and that’s exactly what you did.”
For Michael, who was the only coach with two team members in the finals, he also offered his support to Adam David during the telecast. “America, go and vote,” Michael pleaded. “This young man has worked his butt off. He’s one of my favorite singers.”
During Tuesday’s finale, Michael and Adam David took the stage together for a special performance of “The Weight” by The Band. The collaboration proved the pair built a special bond during the competition.
The winning artist of The Voice will receive the grand prize of a recording contract. Last season’s winner, Sofronio Vasquez, was signed by Republic Records and is currently on tour.
Season 28 of The Voice — featuring coaches Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, Snoop Dogg and Bublé — will premiere this fall on NBC. Fans can stream old episodes anytime on Peacock.
