'The Voice' season 27 winner revealed: 'It was a real surreal moment'
This is The Voice for season 27, as voted on by viewers: blues rocker Adam David, from Team Michael Bublé. When his name was announced, the 34-year-old from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., looked genuinely stunned. After all, he almost wasn't even there, but he won the Instant Save during the live semifinals. With the exception of Bublé, each of the celebrity coaches — also including Kelsea Ballerini, John Legend, and Adam Levine — had just one contestant left from their teams in the finals. They were Team Kelsea's country crooner Jaelen Johnston, who placed second; Team Legend's soulful rocker Renzo, who placed third; and Team Adam's genre-defying Lucia Flores-Wiseman, who won fourth. The "Home" singer had two contestants, David and pop singer Jadyn Cree. Bublé won last season in his first outing as a coach, so with David's win, the Canadian coach's streak continues. Cree, the daughter of The Voice alum Bryan Olsen, who finished third on the show when he represented Team Legend in the finals back in 2024, placed fifth. She had said Monday that her dad very much wanted her to beat him, but that wasn't to be. The revelation ended a star-studded, two-hour concert that featured coaches performing with their contestants. They had trimmed their initial teams of super talented stars-in-the-making from 12 to one (or two) over the past three months. There was a time when Ballerini even "felt queasy."Other celebrated performers, including coaches from past seasons or international versions of the show, took the stage, too. They included Alicia Keys and Amanda Reid, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper, Joe Jonas, Foreigner, James Bay and Sheryl Crow (a mega mentor this season), and Bryce Leatherwood, who won the show in 2022. Bublé will return to the show again next season, where he will sit alongside veteran coaches Niall Horan, Reba McEntire, and Snoop Dogg. The Voice season 28 premieres this fall. In the meantime, Entertainment Weekly caught up with David after his win and found out what the experience — and the win — meant to him. ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What is the first thing you did after hearing the good news? ADAM DAVID: Everyone rushed the stage, and I was just hugging every single person, every contestant. It could have easily been anybody, and everyone's so amazing, and it was a real surreal moment. Do you remember exactly when you realized this was possible? I hoped and I prayed. I don't think I gave myself the opportunity to believe that it wasn't going to happen, but I was ready. Even when I got called to do my Instant Save, I felt like — going up against Olivia, Bryson, and Iris, I really felt like I was going home. They're so amazing and to have made it through that was a victory. And then to have made it to the end and then to top three and then to top two, is a rush. Which of your performances do you think best encompasses you as an artist? I think that the Allen Stone song ["Unaware"] that I did and "Hard Fought Hallelujah" felt really authentic to me. I loved the Joe Cocker, "You Are So Beautiful." I love that song. But I think those two are probably the kind of music that I tend to put out. What will you miss most about your time on ? I'm going to miss my friends. I'm going to miss the other contestants. It's kind of like a shared trauma going through something like this. We all got really close. We all got really, really close, and it's a really special thing to go through this with people, and I think I've made some friends for life. I'm going to have to make a lot of effort to stay connected with them. What does this win mean to you? I want to talk about my recovery for just a second, because this win isn't just for me, it's for the people that I got clean with. It's for all the people that I attend meetings with. It's for anybody that's struggling. They say when you get clean, you can have a life beyond your wildest dreams. And I'm a testament to that right now. And I wouldn't be here if I didn't make that decision a little over six years ago, and I want people to know that, because anyone that's struggling to get a day clean, I want them to know that it's possible and just one day at a time.

Another winner of The Voice has been crowned. NBC's long-running singing competition aired its highly anticipated Season 27 finale on Tuesday, May 20, featuring final performances from the contestants, coaches, and lots of exciting special guests. Heading into finale week, all four coaches — Kelsea Ballerini, Adam Levine, Michael Bublé, and John Legend — had a shot at winning the season, as each had at least one contestant competing in the two-part finale. The Top 5 finalists in the running for the Season 27 title were Renzo (Team Legend), Lucia Flores-Wiseman (Team Adam), Jadyn Cree (Team Bublé), Jaelen Johnston (Team Kelsea), and Adam David (Team Bublé). While the contestants each performed two solo songs on Monday, they returned to the stage on Tuesday for the second part of the finale to sing duets with their coaches. Later in the night, they also joined fellow Season 27 contestants for a group performance of 'Pompeii' by Bastille. First up were Renzo and Legend, who performed 'As It Was' by Harry Styles. Ballerini and Johnston followed with a rendition of 'Whiskey Lullaby' by Alison Krauss and Brad Paisley. Bublé and David then sang 'The Weight' by The Band, and Flores-Wiseman and Levine took on 'While My Guitar Gently Weeps' by The Beatles. Bublé and Cree closed out the duets with 'I Got You Babe' by Sonny & Cher. The finale also welcomed former coaches and mentors, past winners, and fan-favorite artists to perform both new releases and iconic hits. Former coach Kelly Clarkson performed her new single, 'Where Have You Been,' while Blake Shelton sang his track 'Texas.' Alicia Keys ft. Amanda Reid, Chance the Rapper, Foreigner, James Bay ft. Sheryl Crow, Joe Jonas, and Season 22 winner Bryce Leatherwood also took the stage. Adam David was crowned the winner of The Voice 2025. The 34-year-old singer from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, is the first winner to come from an instant save, according to host Carson Daly. David's win marks the second consecutive victory for Coach Bublé, who previously won in his debut season, Season 26, with artist Sofronio Vasquez. 'I love you, man,' Bublé said to David on air before the results were announced. 'You're my kind of artist. I love my sister and she wrote me this morning and she said, 'You tell me when Adam David puts his tickets on sale 'cause I need to go show see that show.'" 'Congratulations, I knew you could do it,' the Canadian singer added. Jaelen Johnston came in second place, followed by Renzo in third. Lucia Flores-Wiseman landed in fourth place, while Jadyn Cree finished Season 27 in fifth. Who has won The Voice in the past?

Who Are ‘The Voice' Season 28 Coaches? See Who's Leaving, Joining And Returning
THE VOICE — "Live Semi Final Results" Episode 2714B — Pictured: (l-r) Michael Bible, Kelsea ... More Ballerini, John Legend, Adam Levine — (Photo by: Tyler Golden/NBC via Getty Images) Another season of The Voice is coming to a close, and the coaching lineup is once again undergoing a major transformation for Season 28. NBC recently announced which musicians will be joining and leaving the panel this fall, and a few fan favorites are both returning and, unfortunately, saying goodbye. One mainstay sticking around for Season 28 is Canadian superstar Michael Bublé. He's had quite a successful start on NBC's singing competition. During his debut season, he won after his team member, Sofronio Vasquez, was crowned the winner of Season 26. Now, he has not one but two contestants heading into the Season 27 finale on Tuesday, May 20. Bublé is the only returning coach from Season 27 who will be back for Season 28. Read on to learn why the others are leaving and which former stars are coming back to the beloved singing competition. THE VOICE — Season: 27 — Pictured: (l-r) John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, Adam Levine and Michael ... More Bublé — (Photo by: Art Streiber/NBC via Getty Images) First-time coach Kelsea Ballerini and veterans John Legend and Adam Levine are all leaving The Voice after Season 27. THE VOICE — "Live Finale Part A" Episode 27145A — Pictured: Kelsea Ballerini — (Photo by: Tyler ... More Golden/NBC via Getty Images) Country star Kelsea Ballerini made her debut in the red chairs this past season, but she won't be continuing into the fall. In an interview with ExtraTV ahead of the finale, Ballerini compared this season ending to the feeling when summer camp is over, hinting that it was a temporary gig. 'It's very bittersweet because it's kind of felt like summer camp is coming to an end... It's been such a fulfilling and inspired journey as being a first-time coach," she said. She also shared her post-finale plans, which include visiting Kenny Chesney during his residency in Las Vegas and then lying low for a while. 'I'm going to hibernate for a while,' she added. 'I'm gonna disappear for a bit.' THE VOICE — "Live Finale Part A" Episode 27145A — Pictured: John Legend — (Photo by: Tyler ... More Golden/NBC via Getty Images) John Legend will also be taking a break from The Voice after Season 26. While it's unclear why he's not returning this fall, he also took time off around this time last year to go on tour. The singer has served as a coach on the competition for a total of 10 seasons. He first joined in Season 16 in 2019 and has been a coach every season since 9 (except for Season 23 and now Season 27). THE VOICE — "Live Finale Part A" Episode 27145A — Pictured: Adam Levine — (Photo by: Tyler ... More Golden/NBC via Getty Images) Adam Levine, who was an original coach for 16 seasons, made his grand return to The Voice after leaving in 2019. The Maroon 5 frontman originally departed The Voice to spend more time with his family. NBC didn't include Levine as one of the returning coaches for Season 28, and the main reason could be new music and an upcoming tour. 'I am gonna confirm the rumors are true,' Levine told Jimmy Fallon when the Tonight Show host asked him if the band is planning to release new music this year. He continued, 'The rumors are correct. There are details. I cannot divulge all the details. But the details are basically, roughly, there's a single coming at the end of the month-ish. I'm really excited about it. An album is coming over the summer. Non-specifically around the summertime. And then, even more non-specifically, there is a tour coming in the fall-ish.' THE VOICE — "Live Finale Part 1" Episode 2422A — Pictured: Niall Horan — (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC ... More via Getty Images) Former coaches Reba McEntire, Niall Horan and Snoop Dogg will be returning to The Voice after taking some time off. McEntire and Snoop Dogg last coached in Season 26, while Horan is returning from a three-season hiatus. Since we last saw the country legend, McEntire has been busy filming her hit sitcom Happy's Place, which was renewed for a second season and will return this fall on NBC. Horan won Season 23 of The Voice with Gina Miles and was a coach for most of Season 24 before heading out on his world tour. NBC revealed that now that the former One Direction star is no longer on the road, he's returned to the singing competition. Like McEntire, Snoop Dogg also took a one-season hiatus. The hip hop legend is ready to reclaim his seat on the coaching panel for Season 28. THE VOICE — "The Blind Auditions Part 5" Episode 2605 — Pictured: (l-r) Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg — ... More (Photo by: Trae Patton/NBC via Getty Images) Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, Reba McEntire and Michael Bublé will return as coaches for Season 28 of The Voice when it airs this fall. Stay tuned for more details about Season 28. The Voice Season 27 finale airs Tuesday, May 20, at 9 p.m. ET on NBC and streams the next day on Peacock.
