It's more than beginner's luck. Team Bublé is a two-for-two winning force now.
Adam David was crowned the winner of "The Voice" Season 27 during the competition show's live finale on May 20. David, one of two of coach Michael Bublé's singers, received the grand prize of a recording contract. This marks Bublé's second victory in a row on the NBC show following his Season 26 win.
Hot on David's heels was Jaelen Johnston, a member of Kelsea Ballerini's team who came in second place. Team Legend's Renzo came in third, while Lucia Flores-Wiseman, from Adam Levine's team, and Team Bublé's Jadyn Cree rounded out the finale bunch in fourth and fifth place, respectively.
As red and white confetti cascaded from above, David — who turned to music as a "steady anchor" amid his recovery from addiction — received a warm hug from Bublé after his win. His fellow contestants also swarmed the stage for congratulations.
David won over "Voice" viewers on May 19 with knockout performances of "Hard Fought Hallelujah" by Brandon Lake and Joe Cocker's "You Are So Beautiful." For his finale performance, David took the stage with Bublé for a rockin' rendition of "The Weight" by the Band.
Who won 'The Voice' last season?
Sofronio Vasquez from Team Bublé, a 32-year-old from the Philippines, was crowned the victor of "The Voice" Season 26 in December 2024. This marked the first win for Bublé, who, as with Season 27, was the only coach with two contestants in the top five.
"Your mentorship is a blessing to me, my family and to all the dreamers out there. You have opened up so many doors," Vasquez told Bublé in the Season 26 finale last year.
The show's other recent winners include Asher HaVon from Team Reba McEntire; Huntley and Gina Miles from Team Niall Horan; Bryce Leatherwood from Team Blake Shelton; and Girl Named Tom, from Team Kelly Clarkson.
When is 'The Voice' coming back?
The next season of "The Voice" is set to premiere in the fall.
Bublé will be back as a coach alongside returning coaches Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire and Niall Horan. Snoop Dogg and McEntire were both most recently coaches in Season 26, while Horan was last on the panel in Season 24.

President Trump set to attend UFC 316 in New Jersey this weekend

President Trump set to attend UFC 316 in New Jersey this weekend Show Caption Hide Caption Donald Trump attends UFC 309 at Madison Square Garden President-elect Donald Trump walked into Madison Square Garden alongside UFC CEO Dana White, Elon Musk and Kid Rock for UFC 309. As his feud with tech billionaire and former MAGA darling Elon Musk exploded into public view this week, the White House says President Donald Trump is planning to attend a UFC event in New Jersey this weekend. The event, UFC 316, is slated for Saturday, June 7 at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The president is scheduled to depart the White House for his golf club in New Jersey Friday afternoon, according to his official schedule, and return to the White House Sunday night. Musk has been high-profile guest for some of Trump's previous visits to the octagon, but the pair had a public falling-out this week after Musk's departure from the Trump administration. 'Siri, play Bad Blood': Internet reacts to Elon Musk and Trump 'breakup' The Trump-Musk fight took off this week when Musk called for Republicans to kill the House-passed tax bill that is a signature part of the second-term president's legislative agenda, calling it a 'disgusting abomination.' Two days later, Trump told reporters at the Oval Office on June 5 that he was 'very disappointed' with Musk and suggested their 'great relationship' was over. In response, Musk took to social media shortly afterward to blast the president, saying Trump wouldn't have won a second term and Republicans would have fared worse in elections in both chambers of the U.S. Congress were it not for his efforts on the 2024 campaign trail, where he poured a quarter of a million dollars into Trump's campaign. The tussle escalated in a back-and-forth between the two men, with Trump suggested going after Musk's companies and their federal contracts, and Musk alleging that Trump's name was in the Justice Department's files related to the late financier and sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. The pair's most recent fight appearance was in April, when Trump and Musk sat ringside at UFC 314 in Miami. The president has long attended UFC events, as CEO Dana White was a prominent supporter of Trump during his 2024 presidential campaign. When is UFC 316? UFC 316, which is headlined by Sean O'Malley vs. Merab Dvalishvili, is set to take place at 10 p.m. ET/7 p.m. PT at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey. The main card is available for pay-per-view on ESPN.

Hoda Kotb reveals who she wants to replace her on 'Today' fourth hour

Hoda Kotb reveals who she wants to replace her on 'Today' fourth hour Show Caption Hide Caption Watch Hoda Kotb's 'Today' announcement, Jenna Bush Hager's response Hoda Kotb revealed that she's leaving the "Today" show in early 2025. Later in the morning, Jenna Bush Hager reacted on set. Hoda Kotb is revealing who she thinks should replace her on the fourth hour of the "Today" show. The former "Hoda and Jenna" cohost left the NBC morning franchise's main anchor desk and fourth hour in January to launch new wellness venture Joy 101, but she still has opinions to offer about who should sit next to Jenna Bush Hager. Kotb told "Watch What Happens Live" host Andy Cohen that "anybody would be so lucky, but to me, the contenders are Savannah, I think she would be great; I think Justin Sylvester is amazing" in reference to the E! News host and frequent "Today" fourth hour guest. Hoda Kotb returns to host 'Today' with Jenna Bush Hager: What to know "Scarlett Johansson crushed it, she said it was her favorite job," Kotb added, although she and Cohen agreed that the Oscar winner is unlikely to join the show full-time. The mom of two continued by saying that "Las Culturistas" comedian "Matt Rogers is great" and "also our dear friend Sheinelle Jones, who is going through a horrible time, but I think she would be good." However, Kotb insisted that "I feel like it's whoever clicks great with Jenna." The NBC morning show's loyal fans have floated Jones as a replacement, but the third hour star has been absent for months during the health battle of her late husband, Uche Ojeh. On May 23, "Today" show anchors announced on air that Ojeh died from an aggressive form of brain cancer at 45. "With profound sadness, we share this morning that Uche Ojeh, the husband of our friend and 'Today' co-host Sheinelle Jones, has passed away after a courageous battle with an aggressive form of brain cancer called glioblastoma," Savannah Guthrie said on the "Today" show.
