00:00:00Start of our finale week and our first live show of the season.
00:00:03But before we begin, we wanted to take a second and acknowledge
00:00:06the tragic and heartbreaking events of just the past few days.
00:00:10From Sydney, Australia and Brown University to Brooklyn
00:00:13and most recently the Reiner family right here in Los Angeles,
00:00:16our hearts are with everybody affected.
00:00:18On behalf of the Voice family, we send our love to those who are hurting
00:00:21and to anybody facing a difficult moment right now.
00:00:25Tonight, we invite you to come together through the power of music
00:00:28and we hope it brings a sense of comfort, connection and light during this time.
00:00:58This is it, our live season's 28 finale.
00:01:03Tonight, you are picking the winner of the Voice.
00:01:06And as they take their seats, keep it going for our coaches,
00:01:09Michael Buble.
00:01:12The one and only Reba McIntyre.
00:01:16Niall Horan is here.
00:01:18And from the LBC, Snoop Dogg.
00:01:25We got a big one tonight.
00:01:26Welcome, welcome.
00:01:27Great to have you here.
00:01:28Not only is this the most important night of the competition,
00:01:31we're also kicking off our two-night holiday spectacular.
00:01:34We've got a big night of music ahead.
00:01:37We've got six finalists.
00:01:38They're each going to sing twice for your votes.
00:01:40They'll do a classic song.
00:01:41Then they'll do one a little more contemporary.
00:01:43Voting is open now for all artists on all methods.
00:01:46But before we get to it, there's some important business to take care of.
00:01:49You might recall after the playoffs,
00:01:51you voted for your favorite remaining artists.
00:01:53And now it's time to reveal your wildcard finalists.
00:01:55These artists will fill our last two spots in that final six.
00:02:00So let's bring out our first one,
00:02:02our first wildcard finalist from Team Buble.
00:02:04It's Max Chambers.
00:02:10Congratulations, Max.
00:02:12You're in the finale of The Voice.
00:02:13Max, you can go prepare and get ready for your multiple performances tonight.
00:02:18So proud of you, Max.
00:02:22And now our second wildcard finalist.
00:02:25Well, instead of announcing it, why don't we just show you?
00:02:28Take a look.
00:02:29Hey, Descartes.
00:02:30America has voted you as one of the two wildcard winners.
00:02:34You will be performing in the live finale.
00:02:36We're in the finale.
00:02:42There was no way that someone of your level could ever leave this competition.
00:02:46America did the right thing.
00:02:49We did so too.
00:02:50I think they did.
00:02:51You're blind audition is one of the most memorable I've been a part of in three seasons.
00:02:58We are a country, but we're also a country pop trio.
00:03:02So, Team Nile!
00:03:04Look at my face.
00:03:05There I am.
00:03:06Look, I figured it out.
00:03:06I did it.
00:03:07What?
00:03:08Rebo's going down to the floor.
00:03:09Rebo falling on the ground.
00:03:10That's the reason we're seeing that.
00:03:12I was like, I've got them on my team.
00:03:13I can't believe it, but now I have to pick Rebo up off the floor.
00:03:17You were together for 14 months as a group before you auditioned for this show.
00:03:21How long did it take you to, like, really think, oh, we're good at this?
00:03:24When, like, your grandma says you're good versus, like, when...
00:03:27When Nile Horn and Rebo McIntyre...
00:03:29When Nile Horn and Rebo McIntyre...
00:03:30Good dog.
00:03:31And tell you you're good, you know, and, like, give you a chance.
00:03:33In the knockouts, what if I never get over you?
00:03:36It was, like, the first song that you'd ever performed basically together.
00:03:39It was the first song that people heard that, like, you guys need to do something.
00:03:42Like, you guys have chemistry together.
00:03:43And you can't ignore it.
00:03:44It was arguably my favourite moment of the show.
00:03:48That moment was just, oh, these guys are serious.
00:03:52That wall of sound that you make is just so beautiful.
00:03:57Your harmonies and when you guys come together, it's magic.
00:04:04See, you won the mic drop vote.
00:04:06You're actually performing at the Rose Bridge.
00:04:08We actually won it.
00:04:09For the finale.
00:04:10We're singing Fishing in the Dark by the Nitty Gritty Derp Band.
00:04:13Yes.
00:04:13Big country anthem.
00:04:14Yeah.
00:04:14Give the people what they want, folks.
00:04:15Exactly.
00:04:16Exactly.
00:04:19And you and me go fishing in the dark, lying on our backs, and counting the stars with a
00:04:25cool grass corolled.
00:04:26There is so much room for Deck of Hearts in country music right now.
00:04:29And they are the best in class.
00:04:31And we got so lucky that they walked onto our set here at The Voice.
00:04:35The chance to get to come back is like no other.
00:04:41And it almost makes you want to prove it even more.
00:04:43To win season 28 of The Voice for Deck of Hearts, it would be quite the accomplishment.
00:04:48We're coming in as like the underdog.
00:04:50You know what I mean?
00:04:51The wild card.
00:04:52And it's like America's had our back two other times.
00:04:54There's no reason why they can't do it again.
00:04:55Yeah.
00:04:56We would love to get you your third win and your first group win ever.
00:05:00Seriously.
00:05:01That would be amazing.
00:05:02That would be awesome.
00:05:03America is going to be dancing along like crazy on Monday night.
00:05:05Oh my god.
00:05:06People are going to be so drunk all over this country.
00:05:07Oh my god.
00:05:08People are going to be so drunk all over this country.
00:05:09I love it.
00:05:10I love it.
00:05:11I love it.

00:05:24Crickets are singing in a line and bass, sitting on the breeze, baby, get ready.
00:05:30I love it.
00:05:35For real I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows
00:06:05Stayin' the whole night through, it feels so good to be with you
00:06:15Spring is almost over and the summer's coming and the days are getting long
00:06:23The way that I'll win up for the time to be right is to take you along, baby, get ready
00:06:31And it don't matter if we sit for you when the fish don't bite
00:06:37The fish don't bite
00:06:38Jump in the river to cool ourselves from the heat of the night, baby, get ready
00:06:44Come on, baby, go!
00:06:46Ooh, oh, you and me go fishing in the car
00:06:51Lying on our backs and counting the stars
00:06:54Let the cool grass grow
00:06:56Cool grass grow
00:06:59Down by the river in the full moon
00:07:02I will be far in love
00:07:04In the middle of the night just moving slow
00:07:07Moving slow
00:07:10Stayin' the whole night through
00:07:12It feels so good to be with you
00:07:16When me go fishing in the dark
00:07:18Flying on our backs and counting the stars
00:07:21Let the cool grass grow
00:07:26Down by the river in the full moon
00:07:28Down by the river in the full moon
00:07:29I will be far in love
00:07:30In the middle of the night just moving slow
00:07:33Stayin' the whole night through
00:07:39It feels so good to be with you
00:07:43Stayin' the whole night through
00:07:47Feels so good to be with you
00:07:50Feel so good to be with you
00:07:52Feel so good to be with you

00:08:11Our second wild card artist
00:08:14Deck of Hearts
00:08:15We'll get some thoughts from our coaches, Reba
00:08:17Oh my gosh, you guys know how much I love you
00:08:20That sounded terrific
00:08:21I've loved that song forever
00:08:23And y'all knocked it out of the ballpark
00:08:25Thank you, Reba
00:08:26Thank you, Reba
00:08:27Well, let's hear from your coach
00:08:28But we should start with Niall
00:08:30You've been really under the weather
00:08:31We weren't sure where we were going to get you here tonight for the live show
00:08:34How are you feeling, first of all?
00:08:35Thank you, yeah, I'm feeling a little bit better
00:08:37It was a rough couple of weeks
00:08:38But I'm glad to be here
00:08:40Sadly, I won't have the opportunity to sing with these guys
00:08:43The doctor has put me on vocal rest
00:08:46But my good friend, Reba
00:08:49I have to thank her
00:08:50She's going to step in and help me out
00:08:52That's nice, Reba
00:08:53She's going to perform with the guys tomorrow night
00:08:55That might be a step up for us
00:08:56Thank you, Reba
00:08:57Thank you
00:08:58Well, I'm very proud of you now
00:09:00For making sure that you take care of yourself

00:09:05For many years to come
00:09:06Amen
00:09:07Well, we're glad you're feeling better
00:09:09I know you can't sing
00:09:11But we want to get your thoughts on your group
00:09:13I mean, consistency
00:09:14I've always said it
00:09:15Consistency is king around this place
00:09:16And these guys have never, ever, ever put a foot wrong
00:09:19What a way to start five-chair performance
00:09:22No, five-star performance
00:09:24Oh, yeah
00:09:25Consistency has always done well around here
00:09:27And you guys do bring it every single time
00:09:28I'm so proud of you

00:11:47You can check that out
00:11:48We're gonna get back to the show now while we can
00:11:50As we get to the end of the season our artist this week wrote special letters to the one thing that has determined their paths in life
00:11:56Of course that's music will continue with a meaningful performance by another wildcard finalist Max Chambers whose love of music has shaped the very person that he is today
00:12:03This is my letter to music
00:12:11From the very first time I sang in church I knew you were a gift from God
00:12:18When I stepped onto the Broadway stage playing young Michael Jackson you reminded me that every note I'll ever sing comes from above
00:12:26The three of us God you and me took the stage and crushed it
00:12:31A big thank you to coach Buble for your guidance
00:12:34You believed in me and took a chance on a 14 year old and now here we are at the finale of The Voice
00:12:41And I'll be singing a song by one of your good friends Forrest Frank
00:12:44Forrest is so honored that you're doing it
00:12:47I just want to thank you for believing in me enough to do it
00:12:50And I know on behalf of him it means a lot to him too
00:12:52A special thank you to my mom for being there by my side every step of the way
00:12:56You have been there through it all and you keep me forever grounded
00:13:01Hey mama
00:13:03I am so proud of you song
00:13:08And you have a chance to possibly be the winner of The Voice at 14 years old
00:13:15That is just unbelievable
00:13:18We are so very proud
00:13:20Love you mama
00:13:21I love you too son
00:13:31When I'm overwhelmed within
00:13:35From the weight of all my sin
00:13:38I need a friend to call my own
00:13:42I need a house to call my home
00:13:46When I'm broken down inside
00:13:50And there's nowhere else to hide
00:13:54I need a place where I feel known
00:13:58Can someone help me
00:14:01Then I hear your reply
00:14:05Bringing teardrops to my eyes
00:14:09Saying I'm not alone
00:14:13Lord I need you now more than ever
00:14:17Won't you put my heart back together
00:14:20I searched the world to my header
00:14:24Just to find out your way's better
00:14:27Oh Lord
00:14:29Your way's better
00:14:31Oh oh oh

00:14:44Everything you say
00:14:45Making waves
00:14:46Like a jet ski
00:14:47You loved every part of me
00:14:49Even when I was messy
00:14:50Now I see the art of your beauty
00:14:52So I can finally sing
00:14:54Jump on the gyro provider
00:14:57Your way always gets me higher

00:15:53Your way's better
00:15:54I find a way
00:15:55Oh Lord
00:15:58Would you put my heart back together?
00:16:14Well, how about that from the youngest finalist in this competition?
00:16:20One of your wildcard winners, that is Max Chambers, everybody.
00:16:23Thank you to the dancers also for helping us out.
00:16:29Max, come on over here, bud.
00:16:30Great work, Max.
00:16:33All right, let's hear from your coach, Michael.
00:16:37Bold, man. Bold.
00:16:38It's bold.
00:16:39It's bold to be open about your faith.
00:16:41Do you know how many people are watching at home that might be shy to share theirs?
00:16:45And the fact that you just did that is, uh, it's amazing.
00:16:48And, yeah, and Max, you're speaking to me.
00:16:53Millions of people that you're moving, and on top of it, you crushed it.
00:16:58Thank you so much.
00:16:59If you want Max to win The Voice, you can vote on The Voice official app on NBC.com.
00:17:03Give it up one more time for Max Chambers.
00:17:10Coming up, Aubrey takes on a Cody Johnson Grammy-winning hit,
00:17:13and then Jazz and Aiden fight for your votes.
00:17:15This is the live finale performance show on The Voice on NBC.
00:17:23Welcome back to our season 28 finale.
00:17:32Voting is open now for all artists on all methods.
00:17:34Remember, you're voting for the one artist that you want to win it all.
00:17:37You can change your mind up until that voting window closes at 7 a.m. Eastern time.
00:17:41Every vote obviously matters.
00:17:43Tomorrow night, we're going to reveal the winner.
00:17:44We'll continue now with Aubrey Nicole.
00:17:45This week, she sat down with her coach and talked about
00:17:48the one-chair turn that changed everything for her.
00:17:51Wow.
00:17:52Look at this.
00:17:54Does it seem like yesterday?
00:17:56Yes.
00:17:56Aw.
00:17:58I am so excited to be in the finale.
00:18:00I came in as a one-chair turn.
00:18:03I'm really, really grateful to be here.
00:18:04They said, what did you hear that made you turn around?
00:18:08It's not so much of what I heard, it's what I felt.
00:18:10You've got that gift.
00:18:12Portray that feeling to another person that needs it.
00:18:15In the battles, I used my save on you.
00:18:19And then in the knockout rounds, when you sang the Martina McBride song,
00:18:23that was your breakout moment.
00:18:25I'm going to run through it.
00:18:31It was a really rough day for me.
00:18:34My stepson was making his way to heaven.
00:18:37That song and you singing it helped me get through it.
00:18:40So I appreciate that.
00:18:43You hit me.
00:18:44You hit me in the heart.
00:18:46And that's what music is supposed to do.
00:18:47So in the playoffs, Black Velvet was a total left turn of what you'd been singing.
00:18:52Black Velvet and a little boy smile.
00:18:57The day that I had sent in my virtual open call for the show,
00:19:01I just recorded myself warming up with Black Velvet.
00:19:04And little did I know that was the audition that got me here to the finale.
00:19:07It gets crazy.
00:19:09Wow.
00:19:10Those last two performances from you deserve a place in the finale.
00:19:13She's special, this girl.
00:19:14You bet.
00:19:15So for the finale, you're doing Till You Can't by my good friend Cody Johnson.
00:19:20You can tell your old man will do some large mouth fishing.
00:19:24I've always loved this song.
00:19:25From the second I heard it, I thought it was just a masterpiece.
00:19:27And I think it's the perfect song to sing in the finale.
00:19:30Absolutely.
00:19:30The whole message is take every chance you can until you can't.
00:19:33There you go.
00:19:34I did a little meet and greet back home at the ice cream shop I worked at in high school.
00:19:38There was this little girl there.
00:19:39And she was like, what's your best piece of advice for someone who wants to be a singer?
00:19:44That was me when I was little.
00:19:45I feel like this is an awesome opportunity for me to get in any final words of encouragement
00:19:50for people who their dream is to do something like this.
00:19:54If you got a chance, take it.
00:19:57Take it while you got a chance.
00:20:00You got a dream, chase it.
00:20:03Just remember, this is a story song.
00:20:05Yes.
00:20:05So try to keep your eyes open.
00:20:07Not only does Aubrey have a great voice, she's very good on camera and she speaks very well.
00:20:14I think she's got a great chance of making it big in the country music business.
00:20:18Loved it.
00:20:19Good.
00:20:20I would love to win this for Reva in order to thank her.
00:20:24It's been such an incredible journey to learn from someone that I've looked up to my entire life.
00:20:29I'm going to take everything that I've learned and put it into this song.
00:20:33Let's go win this thing.
00:20:34All right.
00:20:34You ready?
00:20:34Yes, I'm ready.
00:20:35All right.
00:20:36Come on.
00:20:44You can tell your old man you'll do some largemouth fishing another time.
00:20:50You just got too much on a plate to bait and cast a line.
00:20:56You can always put a rain check in his hand to the gate.
00:21:08You keep putting off forever with that girl whose heart you hold.
00:21:14Swearing that you'll last someday further down the road.
00:21:19You can always put it down the road until you can't.
00:21:31If you've got a chance, take it.
00:21:35Take it while you've got a chance.
00:21:38If you've got a dream, chase it.
00:21:41But the dream won't chase you, babe.
00:21:43You're going to love somebody who's old and as long and as strong and as close as you can.
00:21:50Till you can't.
00:21:55So take that phone call from your mom and just talk away.
00:22:02Because you'll never know how bad you wanna.
00:22:05Till you can't someday.
00:22:08Till you can't wait on tomorrow, cause tomorrow may not show.
00:22:14Say your sorries, your I love yous.
00:22:17Cause man, you never know.
00:22:20You gotta take it while you're taking it.
00:22:23Take it while you're taking it.
00:22:29But dream won't chase you, babe.
00:22:32You're going to love somebody.
00:22:34Hold on as long and as strong and as close as you can.
00:22:38Till you can't.
00:22:39Until you can't.
00:22:40Until you can't.
00:22:41Until you can't.
00:22:42If you've got a chance.
00:22:43Take it.
00:22:44Take it while you've got a chance.
00:22:47If you've got a dream, chase it.
00:22:49Cause the dream won't chase you, babe.
00:22:51You're going to love somebody.
00:22:53Hold on as long and as strong and as close as you can.
00:22:58Till you can't.
00:23:00Until you can't.
00:23:04Until you can't.
00:23:12Yeah.
00:23:17Until you can't.
00:23:21Well, that sounded like a finale performance if we ever heard one here.
00:23:26That's Aubrey, Nicole, Team Reba.
00:23:33Thank you to the band.
00:23:34Aubrey, great job.
00:23:36Thank you so much.
00:23:36Let's get some thoughts.
00:23:37Snoop, wow.
00:23:39Aubrey, you deserve to be here.
00:23:41You are phenomenal.
00:23:42This was one of the greatest performances I've seen you doing.
00:23:45You just get better every time you hit that stage.
00:23:47Go on, girl.
00:23:50Reba, you all right?
00:23:51I'm exhausted.
00:23:54Now I know how Mama always felt when I'd get on stage.
00:23:57She was mouthing every word and just so nervous and excited.
00:24:00And you never wanted to sit by Mama because she would squeeze your hands so tight.
00:24:04Aubrey, I'm so proud of you.
00:24:05You're beautiful inside and out.
00:24:08I couldn't be more proud.
00:24:09Thank you so much.
00:24:10If you want Aubrey to win the voice, you can vote on the voice official app at NBC.com.
00:24:14Give it up again.
00:24:15Team Reba's Aubrey, Nicole.
00:24:17All right, after the break, Jazz tackles a Phil Collins classic and then Aiden and Ralph pull out all the stops.
00:24:31Voting is open now.
00:24:32This is the live finale performance show on The Voice.
00:24:35No move.
00:24:46Welcome back to our season 28 finale.
00:24:47I'm here with Love Island's Ariana Maddux and from Traders and Dancing with the Stars.
00:24:51Give it up.
00:24:52Dylan to Efron.
00:24:53Now these two I've brought to The Voice holiday drink cart.
00:24:58Happy holidays, guys.
00:25:00You're going to be helping us out tomorrow with our pregame, the pre-show to the big finale, where we announce the winner of The Voice.
00:25:06Thank you in advance.
00:25:07Welcome to The Voice family.
00:25:08Oh, my gosh.
00:25:08Thanks for having us.
00:25:09You guys can tune in early and watch these guys.
00:25:12First of all, cheers.
00:25:12Have a daily family.
00:25:15Brandi Alexander.
00:25:16Whoa.
00:25:17And cheers to you.
00:25:18Cheers.
00:25:18What are you looking forward to tomorrow, Ariana?
00:25:20Oh, my gosh.
00:25:21I'm looking forward to seeing who wins.
00:25:24Yeah.
00:25:25We've got six great options right here.
00:25:27XG.
00:25:27XG, big fan of XG, excited to see their performance.
00:25:30Yeah, Khalid, we've got a bunch of good performances tomorrow.
00:25:31Dylan, how about you?
00:25:32This is strong.
00:25:33It is strong.
00:25:33It says a lot about my family, actually.
00:25:37This started just at Christmas, and then it was like every weekend.
00:25:40Hey, let's make those Brandi Alexanders.
00:25:41Is it Christmas?
00:25:42No, it's Saturday.
00:25:43Put hair on my chest.
00:25:45Exactly.
00:25:46Anyway, cheers, guys.
00:25:47It's great to have you on.
00:25:47Treat it like the Super Bowl tomorrow and get America pumped.
00:25:51Yeah.
00:25:51Let's get them primed, liquored up, ready for the voice finale.
00:25:54It's one thing seeing this on TV, but being here, the energy, and power.
00:25:57Like, you feel it here.
00:25:59Well, we're psyched to have you guys, so thank you.
00:26:01We're going to continue the finale.
00:26:02Performance is now with Team Buble's Alabama Soul Singer,
00:26:05whose time on The Voice truly shaped the artist that she wanted to be.
00:26:08She'll tell you more.
00:26:09Here's Jazz McKenzie.
00:26:12Oh, look at this.
00:26:13Jazz McKenzie, this is your life.
00:26:17Oh, Reba just blocked Snoop.
00:26:25Yes, she did.
00:26:26If Snoop had turned, would you have gone to Snoop?
00:26:28You know, it was a toss-up between you and Snoop.
00:26:30Oh, thank you, Reba.
00:26:31Woo!
00:26:33You were so good, and I knew that you could win, so I had the dancers come out.
00:26:39When marimba rhythms start to pay, dance with me.
00:26:45I was so desperate.
00:26:46You don't know.
00:26:47It worked.
00:26:48Team Michael!
00:26:49Oh, damn, welcome to the island.
00:26:53I was nervous, but it got easier as I went along.
00:26:57That's so cool.
00:26:58For the playoffs, you sang Don't Stop Believin' by Journey.
00:27:01I did.
00:27:01You can see me watching you actually rehearsing the song, Losing My Mind.
00:27:04Look at this.
00:27:05Don't stop believing.
00:27:09Yeah, hold on to the end.
00:27:11Are you starting to think, hmm, this could happen?
00:27:13I felt like things were shaking up a little bit.
00:27:16You know, I felt like, okay, we really could do this thing.
00:27:19There is zero that you can't do.
00:27:21You're on a different planet.
00:27:22That was a really tough day, but for me, it was you.
00:27:25What an honor.
00:27:26I find it very cute that even now when I call you, you're in the store.
00:27:30What do the people think?
00:27:32They must recognize you.
00:27:33They do recognize me.
00:27:34I've gotten a lot of, are you that girl that's on that singing show?
00:27:38From Birmingham selling phones to now being what I like to think is the frontrunner to be the voice champion.
00:27:44I think now that we're done and going to rehearsal, I think we should end this the way we started it.
00:27:49Yeah.
00:27:50Little Irish jig on stage.
00:27:51Little Irish jig on the way.
00:27:52Let's do it.
00:27:52This time you're in on the ice.
00:27:53With the heels on.
00:27:54I'll get it.
00:27:55Let's go.
00:27:56I don't know what the Irish jig is saying.
00:27:58Oh, gosh.
00:27:59Against all odds, Phil Collins.
00:28:02Against all odds.
00:28:03Can we please have silence while we create our genius?
00:28:06I think the song is perfect for her in the finale because jazz has an ability to actually have her imprint on a song and make it even better.
00:28:24Take a look at me now.
00:28:26She has one of the most unique and special voices that I've ever heard.
00:28:30This lyric is heartbreaking.
00:28:31And if we can really make this heavy, it's going to be great.
00:28:36Yeah.
00:28:36When I first started this process, I never anticipated making it this far.
00:28:41I am one performance away from winning The Voice.
00:28:44Can you pinch me?
00:28:45Can somebody come and pinch me right now?
00:28:48Make America cry their faces off.
00:28:50Ooh.
00:28:51This is the moment.
00:28:52It's going to be beautiful.
00:29:00How can I just let you walk away?
00:29:03Let you leave without a trace.
00:29:08Cause I'm standing taking every breath with you.
00:29:15Ooh.
00:29:15You're the only one who really knew me at all.
00:29:26How can you just walk away from me when all I can do is watch you leave?
00:29:32Cause we've shared the laughter and the pain and even shed the tears.
00:29:41You're the only one who really knew me at all.
00:29:49So take a look at me now.
00:29:53There's just an empty space.
00:29:57There's nothing left here to remind me.
00:30:03Just the memory of your face.
00:30:07I wish I could just make you turn around.
00:30:13Turn around and see me cry.
00:30:17You're the only one who really knew me at all.
00:30:29You're the only one who really knew me at all.
00:30:33So take a look at me now.
00:30:37There's just an empty space.
00:30:42There's nothing left here to remind me.
00:30:47Just the memory of your face.
00:30:50Take a look at me now.
00:30:55Take a good look at me now.
00:30:59But to wait for you, and that's all I can do.
00:31:04It's the turn I gotta face.
00:31:07Take a good look at me now.
00:31:12I'm still standing there.
00:31:16I'm coming back to me.
00:31:18It's the gift of love.
00:31:21It's the chance I've got to take.
00:31:29Take a look at me now.
00:31:35Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh.
00:31:46It can only be a voice performance finale
00:31:50on our Holiday Spectacular.
00:31:52That is Jazz McKenzie.
00:31:54Whoo!
00:31:55Go, Jazz!
00:31:58Thank you for that beautiful accompaniment as well.
00:32:01Jazz, great work.
00:32:06Great job.
00:32:07You all right?
00:32:08I'm good.
00:32:08All right, good.
00:32:10Let's get right to your coach, Michael.
00:32:13I wrote you last night.
00:32:14I told you you are the light.
00:32:16This is it.
00:32:17This is my last time here, right?
00:32:19I leave this show.
00:32:20And let me tell you, Jazz McKenzie, thank you.
00:32:23What a way to go.
00:32:24I love you.
00:32:25You are perfect.
00:32:27If you want Jazz to win The Voice,
00:32:28you can vote on The Voice official app at NBC.com.
00:32:32Give it up again for Jazz McKenzie.

00:32:38Whoo!
00:32:39Whoo!
00:32:40Whoo!
00:32:41Whoo!
00:32:42Whoo!
00:32:43All right, after the break,
00:32:44we have a compassionate performance by Aiden Ross.
00:32:46And then Ralph,
00:32:47compete for your votes and a chance to win it all.
00:32:50We are live on The Voice.
00:32:52Don't move.
00:33:03We are live from Universal Studios Hollywood.
00:33:06Happy holidays, everybody.
00:33:07Tonight, you're picking the winner of The Voice.
00:33:08Voting is open now.
00:33:09Our finale continues with Team Niles, Aiden Ross,
00:33:12and a performance inspired by something
00:33:14that has guided his path in life.
00:33:16Dear Music, you've been with me since I was a kid in Texas.
00:33:23Singing in the car and learning chords that barely fit my hands.
00:33:27When life felt unsteady, you gave me something to cling to.
00:33:31I always thought I was supposed to be an engineer.
00:33:36That was the plan, the safe road.
00:33:38But every time I tried to picture my future,
00:33:41it always led back to you.
00:33:43Being on this show.
00:33:44Ready?
00:33:45Yeah.
00:33:46Standing on these stages, working with these producers.
00:33:48You're gonna do great.
00:33:49Feeling what happens when I truly put everything into a song
00:33:52made it clear.
00:33:53Music isn't just something I love.
00:33:55It's the thing I'm meant to do.
00:33:57You led me to The Voice.
00:33:59From day one, Niall kept repeating the thing that matters most.
00:34:03Just let it flow.
00:34:04Saving the song first.
00:34:06Not do less, just do what the song needs.
00:34:09He'd ask what the lyric means to me,
00:34:11where the heartbeat is, and how to let that lead.
00:34:14It's the holiday, so I think about family,
00:34:17Texas Christmas lights, and carols drifting through the house.
00:34:21Tonight, in the finale, I want to say thank you
00:34:24for getting me through the tough days,
00:34:26for marking the best ones,
00:34:28and for bringing me right here.
00:34:31Let's make people feel something.
00:34:33Love, Aiden.
00:34:35Let's make people feel it.
00:34:46Yeah, it's just two lovies.
00:34:47Sitting in the car, listening to blonde,
00:34:51falling for each other.
00:34:52Drinkin' on the skies, really super childish.
00:34:55The thousand-up love is gone from her mother.

00:35:50Sitting in the past, driving on a fast button through the summer
00:35:54Radio and blasts, but the moment that she got solid power
00:36:00She knew she was the baddest, could you even imagine falling like I did for the love of my life
00:36:07She's got glow on her face, a glorious look in her eyes
00:36:14My angel of love
00:36:17Falling like I did for the love of my life
00:36:22She's got glitter skin
00:36:24My radiant beam in the night
00:36:29I don't need no light to see you shine
00:36:38It's your golden light

00:39:0411 times before this
00:39:06And so when I first saw the stage
00:39:08You know I brought a little
00:39:10Little tear
00:39:12I choked up a little bit
00:39:14Ooh I wanna be there
00:39:16Yeah
00:39:18In my city

00:39:40Don't tell me you need me
00:39:42Wow Ralph
00:39:44You could easily win this show dude
00:39:46The way you take other people's songs
00:39:48And make them your songs
00:39:50You give it joy
00:39:52You give it more life
00:39:54You give it joy
00:39:56You give it more life
00:39:58The thing I love about your voice man
00:40:00Is the way you can control it
00:40:02You can growl
00:40:04Then there's certain times when you sing
00:40:06And when you close your eyes
00:40:08And you're getting so deep that you forget you're in front of people
00:40:10That's what I love about you
00:40:14Snoop Dogg is in tears over here
00:40:16Dude I can't even speak after that
00:40:18Ralph you're the voice dude
00:40:20That's what you are
00:40:22Unbelievable
00:40:23Thank you so much
00:40:24I'm proud of you Ralph
00:40:25It's a big situation happening for you
00:40:26And you still remaining to be who you are
00:40:28To be as far as I am now
00:40:30I'm blessed
00:40:32So I'm excited to show you and America what else I can do
00:40:36I know you can show me
00:40:40In order for Ralph to take home this win
00:40:42I want to know what love is
00:40:44Has to be Oscar worthy
00:40:46The biggest strongest projection of vocals
00:40:50Showmanship, eye contact
00:40:52Because when you look into his eyes
00:40:54How could you not see
00:40:56The voice
00:40:57The first verse it felt like you was trying to figure out
00:40:59Should I be fast, slow
00:41:01When you got to that second verse
00:41:02Yo, it was like this
00:41:03So you gotta make sure you lock in like that
00:41:05Gotcha, gotcha
00:41:06I love the way it feels
00:41:07I know you're gonna have your look together
00:41:09It's gonna be matter of fact your look together
00:41:11Your look
00:41:12Open that up and take a look
00:41:15Oh my gosh
00:41:16Yeah
00:41:17Team Snoop Dogg
00:41:18I'm gonna put that on for sure
00:41:19You wear that the night of
00:41:21Being one performance away from winning the voice
00:41:23Is absolutely ridiculous
00:41:25I've been told no so many times
00:41:27But I've never given up
00:41:28I will definitely be singing this for my fiancee
00:41:30Because she's been my rock this entire time
00:41:33Along with Snoop
00:41:34And it's time to win this thing
00:41:39I've got to take a little time
00:41:51A little time to think things over
00:41:56I better read between the lines
00:42:01In case I need it when I'm older
00:42:06In my life
00:42:10There's been heartache and pain
00:42:13See I don't know
00:42:16If I can face it again
00:42:19Can't stop now

00:43:00In my life
00:43:04There's been heartache and pain
00:43:09I don't know
00:43:11If I could face it again
00:43:14It's not now I've traveled so far
00:43:20To change this lonely life

00:45:22Back-to-back performances

00:45:24Her coach's song
00:45:25And an emotional song
00:45:26By the return of
00:45:28Deck of Hearts
00:45:29Season 28 finale
00:45:30Performance show
00:45:31Our holiday spectacular
00:45:32Rolls on after this
00:45:34Welcome back to our live finale
00:45:45Tonight
00:45:45You're picking the season 28
00:45:47Winner of the voice
00:45:47We've got back-to-back performances
00:45:49And we'll begin with another song
00:45:50From Team Reba's
00:45:51Aubrey Nicole
00:45:52Who can't remember a time
00:45:53When music wasn't a part of her life
00:45:55Dear music
00:46:00From the very beginning
00:46:01You were the sound of my home
00:46:03From my mother singing me to sleep
00:46:05Family's guitar picking and sing-alongs
00:46:07You were the backdrop of every childhood memory
00:46:11The comfort that wrapped around me
00:46:13When the world felt too big
00:46:14And the spark that lit something inside me
00:46:16Long before I had the words to describe it
00:46:19You opened doors I never believed I'd stand in front of
00:46:23And the biggest so far being the voice
00:46:25And introducing me to Reba
00:46:27I can't believe the woman
00:46:30Whose songs I sang in college
00:46:31And admired on TV and radio
00:46:32Thinks that I have a voice
00:46:34That's special enough to go to the finale
00:46:36As her finalist
00:46:37This journey has changed me
00:46:39I've met people who love you
00:46:41As fiercely as I do
00:46:42Who have now become friends
00:46:44Turn to family
00:46:45Reminding me of your ability
00:46:46To hold so many people together
00:46:48You unite us
00:46:50That's why
00:46:53Even though it breaks my heart
00:46:55To be so far from home during the holidays
00:46:57I know that every time I sing
00:46:59I bring a part of my family with me
00:47:01So thank you, music
00:47:02My dearest friend and my calling
00:47:05God gave me you to give purpose to my life
00:47:07You've led me all the way here
00:47:09And now here I am at the finale
00:47:11Ready for whatever comes next
00:47:13With love, Aubrey Nicole
00:47:16He's on his way home from Canada
00:47:27Been two weeks gone
00:47:29And he thought he'd stop at West
00:47:31And have him a drink
00:47:32Before he went home to her
00:47:34Andy Wolloh said hello
00:47:39He said hi, what's doing?
00:47:41Whoa, said
00:47:42Now I got some bad news
00:47:44It's gonna hurt
00:47:45Said I'm your best friend
00:47:49And you know that's right
00:47:50Your young bride ain't home tonight
00:47:53She's been gone
00:47:54She's been seeing that
00:47:55And his boy said
00:47:56He got mad and he saw
00:48:01And he said
00:48:02Boy, don't you lose your head
00:48:04I used to tell you the truth
00:48:05I've been with her myself
00:48:08As the night that the lights went out
00:48:12In Georgia
00:48:14That's not that they hung
00:48:17In innocent prayer
00:48:19Well, don't trust you so
00:48:22With no backwards southern lawyer
00:48:25The judge in the town's got
00:48:28Blood chains on his hands
00:48:31He went off to Andy's house
00:48:35Slipping through the backwards
00:48:36Quiet as a mouse
00:48:38Upon some tracks too small
00:48:40For Andy to make
00:48:41He looked through the screen
00:48:44At the back porch door
00:48:46He saw Andy lying on the floor
00:48:49In the mud of the blood
00:48:50And he started to shake
00:48:52The Georgia patrol wasn't making the rounds
00:48:57So he got a shot
00:48:58Just to lie down
00:49:00A big belly shirt
00:49:01Grabbed his gun
00:49:02He said, why'd you do it?
00:49:05Well, they hung my brother
00:49:07Before I could see
00:49:08The tracks he saw
00:49:10Well, on his way
00:49:11To Andy's house
00:49:12And back that night
00:49:14Were mine
00:49:15I'd miss you, wife
00:49:18And never left town
00:49:19That's one body
00:49:21That'll never be found
00:49:22Little sister
00:49:24Don't miss
00:49:24When she ain't for God
00:49:27That's a night
00:49:29That the lights went out
00:49:31In Georgia
00:49:32That's a night
00:49:35That they hung
00:49:36And isn't there
00:49:37Well, don't trust
00:49:40Your soul
00:49:40And no backwards
00:49:41I'm a lawyer
00:49:43Cause the judge
00:49:45And the town's
00:49:46Got blood
00:49:47Stains
00:49:48On his
00:49:50Hand
00:49:52Aubry Nicole
00:50:03I see you look excited, Coach Reba. What did you think of Aubry's performance?
00:50:14Well, I've loved that song forever. Vicky Lawrence had a number one record on it. I loved it, so I recorded it. And look what you're doing with it. Congratulations.
00:50:22Congratulations, girl. You knocked it out of the ballpark again. If you want Aubry to win the voice, you can vote on the voice official app and NBC.com. Once again, give it up for Aubry Nicole.
00:50:40All right, we've got two great performances here. I'll continue right away with our next one from Team Nile. Deck of Hearts, of course, the country trio who found each other because of their mutual love of one person.
00:50:52That's one very important thing.
00:50:54Run.
00:50:56Okay.
00:50:58I'll start.
00:51:02Dear Music,
00:51:04Before I had words, I had you.
00:51:06You've been a part of my life since I was in the crib.
00:51:08Before I went down for a nap, I would hum scales and you would carry me off to sleep.
00:51:12You helped me connect with people who understood me. And when it was time to graduate, you and my family gave me the confidence to move to Nashville, where you led me to my other halves, Colin and Emily. For these things, I'm forever grateful.
00:51:26You guys will be back.
00:51:28Dear Music, you've always been near. As I grew, you stayed consistent, helping me discover who I truly am. You led me to Nashville and into a life I never imagined. Full-time music, the voice, and the courage to chase what felt impossible. Most beautifully, you brought me Colin and Dylan. I thank God for the gift he placed in my life through you.
00:51:48That's so sweet.
00:51:50Dear Music, my love for you started with my grandma Bailey, who had me humming melodies and strumming a flyswatter like a guitar before I was old enough to count to ten. You've carried me through every season of life, giving me some of my best memories and closest friends. And now getting to make music with the D and E of DEC has become one of the greatest blessings I could ever ask for.
00:52:12This doesn't still feel real, guys.
00:52:14It doesn't feel real. It's crazy that we started it and then the Lord was like.
00:52:17Yeah, here.
00:52:18And now you're going to the voice. Have fun.
00:52:20I love you guys. Come on. Come on. Come on. You're so proud of us. Let's go do the thing.
00:52:24Let's do it.
00:52:47We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We're good. We
00:53:17To seeing shows and evening clothes with you
00:53:23From nervous touch and getting drunk
00:53:29To staying up and waking up with you
00:53:36But now we're slipping at the edge
00:53:40Holding something we don't need
00:53:42All this delusion in our heads is gonna bring us to unease
00:53:50Come on, let it go, just let it be
00:53:56Why don't you be you and I'll be me
00:54:02Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
00:54:09Why don't you be you and I'll be me
00:54:15And I'll be me
00:54:18From throwing clothes across the floor
00:54:23To teething claws and slamming doors at you
00:54:30If this is all we're living for
00:54:35If this is all
00:54:38Why are we doing it, doing it, doing it anymore
00:54:42I used to recognize myself
00:54:46It's funny, our reflection's ashamed
00:54:49When we're becoming something else
00:54:52I think it's time to walk away
00:54:56Come on, let it go
00:55:00Just let it be
00:55:04Why don't you be you and I'll be me
00:55:10Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze
00:55:17Let the ashes fall
00:55:19Let the ashes fall
00:55:20Forget about me
00:55:23And I'll be me
00:55:26I'll be me
00:55:33Come on, let it go
00:55:38Just let it be
00:55:42Why don't you be you and I'll be me
00:55:48And I'll be me
00:55:52That is Deck of Hearts
00:55:58Whose work tonight on The Voice is complete
00:56:02Great job, guys
00:56:04Big shout-out to our Voice crew
00:56:06We had a quick little hiccup there before your performance
00:56:08You guys did great
00:56:09They're the best, they fixed it like that
00:56:11And we're back in business
00:56:13Great performance though, guys
00:56:14That was awesome
00:56:14Congrats on that
00:56:15Niall, some thoughts, please
00:56:16First of all, with that little hiccup there
00:56:18You dealt with that so well
00:56:19That would shake a lot of artists
00:56:21And I thought you did such a good job to recover from that
00:56:23Guys, that was so special
00:56:26Yes, America, that was live
00:56:27That was three voices in a three-part harmony
00:56:29Live on television
00:56:30Thank you, Niall
00:56:32America, you've voted for them twice already
00:56:35I need you one more time

00:57:21Determined the winner of The Voice this incredible season
00:57:24We'll continue on with Team Blue Blaze
00:57:26Jazz McKenzie
00:57:27An artist whose life has always revolved around the love she gets from music
00:57:31Dear music, my love for music runs deeper than melody
00:57:37It has been a compass, a comfort, and a calling
00:57:41Growing up, the soundtrack of my life was my mama's voice
00:57:46Before I ever knew what a stage felt like, I knew what love sounded like through her singing
00:57:52I also want to share my gratitude and our love for my incredible coach
00:57:57Where are we, Jazz?
00:57:58That's a money shot
00:57:59We are behind the scenes at rehearsal
00:58:01Michael, thank you for your guidance, your patience, your humor, and your belief in me
00:58:08You reminded me that music is not about perfection, it's about connection
00:58:13My mother's voice, my family's harmonies, and Michael Buble's guidance
00:58:19They remind me why I love music with every breath I take
00:58:23Because it saves, it lifts, and it brings me back to myself every single time
00:58:28With love, Jazz McKenzie
00:58:31So, Jazz, if someone wanted to say something special to you
00:58:35I wish you good luck
00:58:36Oh, hey, Mom
00:58:39I am so absolutely proud of you
00:58:45You got this
00:58:47You were born for this
00:58:51I love you so much, Mom
00:58:54I love you, too
00:58:56Bye, girl
00:58:57Ooh
00:58:59Mmm
00:59:01You're my driver's license lesson
00:59:12Like we'd always talk to back
00:59:15Cause you were so excited for me
00:59:19To finally drive up to your height
00:59:22Today I drove through the suburbs
00:59:24Crying
00:59:26Cause you weren't around
00:59:28Cause you weren't around
00:59:31You're probably with that blonde girl
00:59:34You've always made me die
00:59:37She's so much older than me
00:59:40She's everything I'm insecure about
00:59:44Today I drove through the suburbs
00:59:47Cause I never loved anyone again
00:59:53And I know we were perfect
00:59:56But I never felt this way
00:59:59For no one
01:00:02And I just can't imagine
01:00:05How we could be so okay
01:00:08Now that I'm gone
01:00:11I bet you didn't mean
01:00:13I bet you didn't mean
01:00:14What you wrote in that song about me
01:00:18Cause you said forever
01:00:20Now I drive along past the street
01:00:23When I fall past the street
01:00:26When I fall down
01:00:29I still see your plans
01:00:32White guns
01:00:33Dry guns
01:00:35Can't drive past the place that
01:00:38You used to go to
01:00:41Cause you used to go to
01:00:42Cause you know
01:00:43I love you
01:00:44And I am so blue
01:00:45Now we're through
01:00:46Cause you know
01:00:47I love you
01:00:48And I am so blue
01:00:50Now we're through
01:00:51Cause you know
01:00:52Cause you know
01:00:53I love you
01:00:54And I know we weren't perfect
01:01:07But I never felt this way
01:01:11For no one
01:01:13And I just can't imagine
01:01:17How we could be so okay
01:01:20Now that I'm gone
01:01:24You didn't mean
01:01:26What you wrote in that song about me
01:01:30Cause you said forever
01:01:32I drive along past the street
01:01:35Oh, you said forever
01:01:40Now I drive along past the street
01:01:46That is Jazz McKenzie here on the Live Voice finale performance show
01:01:59Great work, Jazz
01:02:01Look at our coach Snoop
01:02:03You got him all choked up
01:02:05Doesn't happen often
01:02:06But when it does
01:02:07It's special
01:02:08Woo
01:02:09Snoop, you need a minute?
01:02:11Nah, man
01:02:12Um
01:02:13Damn
01:02:15Seeing you with your mama
01:02:17And the way you sing
01:02:18You touch my heart, Jazz
01:02:20You're amazing
01:02:21Thanks
01:02:22Thank you
01:02:23Thank you
01:02:24Let's talk to your coach, Jazz Michael
01:02:26I love you
01:02:27I love you
01:02:28I love you
01:02:29I love you and your mom's right
01:02:30You're meant to be a star
01:02:31And America, you always get it right
01:02:32I hope they feel the way that I do
01:02:34That's all
01:02:35Remember, if you want Jazz to win The Voice
01:02:37You can vote on the Voice official app on NBC.com
01:02:42Give it up for Jazz McKenzie
01:02:52Again
01:02:53Straight ahead, Max takes on the great Whitney Houston
01:02:55And then Wreck-It Ralph will hit the stage
01:02:57As will Aiden for one last shot to win it all
01:03:00This is the live season 28 finale of The Voice
01:03:14Welcome back, our season 28 finale tonight
01:03:16You're picking the winner of The Voice
01:03:17We'll continue now with the youngest in this competition
01:03:20This week, Max sat down with his coach to talk about his journey
01:03:24From a regular 14 year old to Voice finalist
01:03:27Max, America has voted you as one of the two wildcard winners
01:03:33You will be performing at the live finale
01:03:36What?
01:03:38Welcome to the finale, my man
01:03:41I'm so happy for you, buddy
01:03:42This is exactly how I thought it would go down
01:03:44And I knew America would do the right thing
01:03:46America, I won't let you down
01:03:48So, now that you and I can look back
01:03:51I love that I'm watching you
01:03:53You're backstage and you're so nervous
01:03:55And then the lights turned on and wow
01:03:58Oh baby, give me one more chair
01:04:02I was nervous because I really wanted a chair turn
01:04:04But I guess I just did it
01:04:07Yeah
01:04:08You know, you're a special kid
01:04:09I love it
01:04:1114 years old, while you carry yourself
01:04:13What does it feel like going from that blind
01:04:16And then going back to school?
01:04:17School was boring
01:04:19I mean, we were on a stage as big as this performing
01:04:22I'm doing what I love
01:04:24This is such a big opportunity
01:04:25And I'm just super grateful for it
01:04:27So now, we got the knockouts
01:04:29And you're starting to show at this point
01:04:32That you are a real contender
01:04:35Don't you worry about this
01:04:40You get that a capella start
01:04:42I'm thinking this young man could win this show
01:04:45The way you took that Stevie Wonder song
01:04:49And put your own ballad on it
01:04:51A star is born, man
01:04:56Then we get to the playoffs
01:04:57I see that you have braces there
01:04:59Yes, sir
01:05:00And now they're gone
01:05:01Now they're gone
01:05:02You look great
01:05:03You look great there too
01:05:04And I know that night was probably very bittersweet for you
01:05:07All right, it is not over yet
01:05:09America's votes will send one remaining artist to that finale
01:05:12But at the same time, I love that America has shown us
01:05:15They believe in you just like I do
01:05:17And now you'll be singing One Moment in Time by Whitney Houston
01:05:20One of the greatest singers that ever has been
01:05:22I'm gonna work hard to seize that one moment in time
01:05:25Yes
01:05:26Can you imagine being the youngest winner ever of The Voice?
01:05:28That'd be crazy
01:05:29You deserve it
01:05:30So Max, feel good about it?
01:05:32You know Max, he reminds me a little of Shawn Mendes
01:05:34Very reserved and shy offstage
01:05:37One moment
01:05:39When the cameras turn on
01:05:40He has the confidence and the ambition
01:05:41And no fear
01:05:43And when you put those things together
01:05:44You get a star
01:05:45My God, please let me open for you
01:05:47Don't forget me
01:05:48Don't forget Uncle Mike
01:05:49I won't
01:05:50Since I've been here on The Voice
01:05:51I have literally grown
01:05:53In my blind, I was 5'5
01:05:56And now I'm 5'9 and a half
01:05:59Your voice is changing as we speak
01:06:02So don't ever be afraid to go like
01:06:04No, this key
01:06:06Give me one
01:06:07Mr. Buble, he's not only helped me as an artist
01:06:10But he taught me to not be afraid to laugh at yourself
01:06:13I'm super ready for the finale
01:06:15Being one performance away from my dream coming true is crazy
01:06:19Each day I live I want to be a day to give the best of me I'm only one but not alone
01:06:48My finest day is yet unknown I broke my heart for every game
01:07:01To taste the sweet I face the pain I rise and fall yet through it all this much remains
01:07:16I want one moment inside When I'm more than I thought I could be
01:07:29When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the answers are all up to me
01:07:41Give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny Then in that one moment of time I will feel, I will feel eternity
01:08:08You're a winner for a lifetime If you feel, you're a winner for a lifetime If you see that one moment in time Make it shine, just give me one moment in time When I'm racing with destiny
01:08:10When I'm with destiny
01:08:34When I'm racing with destiny
01:08:40Then in that one moment of time
01:08:47I will be, I will be, I will be free

01:10:34We'll continue with another performance by Ralph
01:10:36And his letter to a powerful force that has always been there for him
01:10:44Dear music, you have been with me from the beginning
01:10:47From the call of my first words
01:10:50To the sound of my first steps
01:10:53When my school made me doubt myself
01:10:56You gave me something to be proud of
01:10:58Every note I sang reminded me I had a gift
01:11:02Something no grade could measure
01:11:04Something no test could define
01:11:06You taught me to carry pride in my voice and myself
01:11:10I will never forget my very first voice casting call
01:11:14And there was a lot of them
01:11:16I walked in ready to win
01:11:18I walked out in nothing but silence
01:11:20You taught me that through rejection
01:11:23And disappointment comes growth
01:11:25In the last six months
01:11:27I not only gained a fiance
01:11:29But I got a four chair turn
01:11:30Which is basically five yeses
01:11:32Will you marry me?
01:11:34Yes
01:11:35Now I have a chance to win and achieve my dream
01:11:38My coach Snoop Dogg has truly become family
01:11:41Working with him has been such a blessing
01:11:43He taught me to lay back on the beat
01:11:45And live in the moment
01:11:47That teaching really helped pave the way
01:11:49For me to go all the way to the finale
01:11:51Thank you music
01:11:53For all that you have done
01:11:55And for all that you will do
01:11:57Yours truly, Ralph Edwards
01:12:02Beautiful letter there Ralph
01:12:03We've got just a second here
01:12:04Before we get to his performance
01:12:06But I just want to mention
01:12:07Tomorrow night
01:12:08Obviously this is the first performance
01:12:09Part of our finale
01:12:10We'll have a winner tomorrow night
01:12:11We're crunching the numbers
01:12:12Looking at some of the stats
01:12:13About potentially what could happen tomorrow night
01:12:16As we crown our season 28 winner
01:12:18This could be Michael Buble
01:12:20Your third victory in a row tomorrow night
01:12:22It could happen
01:12:23I
01:12:25I
01:12:26I don't even know what to say
01:12:27I can't listen
01:12:28Being part of this family
01:12:29There's no way to lose
01:12:30So
01:12:31And I'm not just saying that
01:12:32This is the greatest pleasure
01:12:33You seem very emotional tonight
01:12:34I am
01:12:35I love you guys
01:12:36And I really do
01:12:37This has been the greatest gig of my life

01:16:19That's what I'm talking about, the complete package right there.
01:16:21We done seen your vocalization in different genres, but to see you dance, to see you perform,
01:16:26to see you coming to your full, you know, completion of who you're supposed to be.

01:16:44with a number-one global hit.
01:16:45This is The Voice, don't move.
01:16:47How do you feel this?
01:16:48How do you feel this?
01:16:49How do you feel this?
01:16:50How do you feel this?
01:16:51How do you feel this?
01:16:52How do you feel this?
01:16:53How do you feel this?
01:16:54How do you feel this?
01:16:56All right.
01:16:57Welcome back.
01:16:58We've got one more performance to go.
01:16:59We're going to close out this huge night
01:17:01with Team Nile's soulful pop singer.
01:17:02Here's everything that's led up to this moment for Aiden Ross.
01:17:07Come on in, brother.
01:17:08Oh, man.
01:17:10You good?
01:17:11I'm great.
01:17:11Oh, look at this guy.
01:17:12Look.
01:17:13Oh, my gosh.
01:17:15Stressed.
01:17:16Unbelievably stressed.
01:17:18I can't hold.
01:17:20It was so hard to sing because I was the happiest I've ever been.
01:17:23But I was singing Love in the Dark by Adele,
01:17:25which is like a heart-wrenching song.
01:17:26So I was like, I don't know how to feel right now.
01:17:28Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha.
01:17:29Look, there you go.
01:17:30That's what I think of it.
01:17:31That's a good scream.
01:17:33This was the audition of the week.
01:17:34I just love how you could take Adele and make it your own.
01:17:38I think you could be in the final of this competition.
01:17:41Nile, thanks for picking me as your coach.
01:17:44Thanks for turning your chair, man.
01:17:46Come on.
01:17:46Give it up, Brandon.
01:17:48What was your life like before this?
01:17:50I was an engineering student.
01:17:52I applied to The Voice on Leap of Faith,
01:17:54and then, like, the flame just turned into a fire
01:17:56and it's been running with it ever since.
01:17:58Watching you grow over the last few months has been nuts.
01:18:03You're so good that sometimes you don't know what to do with it.
01:18:06Oh, my gosh.
01:18:09The one that really stands out to me is when the party's over.
01:18:13Tore my shirt to stop, you believe me.
01:18:19Damn, boy.
01:18:20Oh, wow.
01:18:22You get it every now and then on the show,
01:18:24where the room goes silent,
01:18:25and you can nearly hear the lights buzzing,
01:18:27and people don't know whether to clap, laugh, cry.
01:18:30When you were singing, I was stuck like a dump truck.
01:18:32I couldn't even know that.
01:18:33You sound like you could actually win The Voice.
01:18:35And it felt like every living room in America
01:18:37and the whole world of social media,
01:18:39it was just going, okay, this guy's the real deal.
01:18:41It was a great time, man.
01:18:43Your biggest ability, apart from your singing,
01:18:45is to really sell a song.
01:18:48That's what has you in the finale.
01:18:49It's just an exciting time to be Aiden Ross.
01:18:52The winner takes it all.
01:18:56The winner takes it all.
01:18:57How are you feeling?
01:18:58Excited to show the world this different arrangement.
01:19:00Thinking I belong there.
01:19:03It's an epic version of it.
01:19:05It is pretty epic.
01:19:06It's very cinematic.
01:19:07It's very dramatic.
01:19:09That's what we want.
01:19:10I am forever thankful to Niall
01:19:12for selecting me in the finale.
01:19:14He is very much so like a big brother figure.
01:19:16I think the connection, the friendship that we have
01:19:18has given me so much confidence.
01:19:21I want to win this thing so freaking bad.
01:19:23Me and Niall, baby.
01:19:26Aiden's one of those guys that can do it all.
01:19:28He's one of the most naturally gifted singers I think
01:19:31I've heard in a very, very, very long time.
01:19:34When Aiden's just performed, my whole contact list just goes nuts.
01:19:41He's the best singer in the competition and could easily win this.
01:19:44The country's behind you.
01:19:45I'm behind you.
01:19:46Go out and just enjoy it.
01:19:47I'm ready for it, man.
01:19:48This is going to be fun.
01:19:49Get ready, America.
01:19:51I don't want to talk about things we've gone through, though it's hurting me.
01:20:09Now it's history.
01:20:10I've played all my cards and that's what you've done, too.
01:20:22Nothing more to say, no more ace to play.
01:20:33The winner takes it all.
01:20:37The loser standing small beside the victory.
01:20:46That's our destiny.
01:20:50I was in your room, thinking I belonged there.
01:20:59I figured it made sense, building me a fence, building me up.
01:21:13Thinking I'd be strong, yeah, but I was a fool.
01:21:21Playing by the rose, the winner takes it all.
01:21:30The loser has to fall.
01:21:34It's simple and it's plain.
01:21:38So why should I complain?
01:21:43The winner takes it all.
01:21:52The winner takes it all.
01:22:02I apologize if it makes you feel bad seeing me so tense, no self-confidence, but you see the winner takes it all.
01:22:31That is Aiden Ross to close out the night, everybody, on our awesome night of performance this year on The Voice finale.
