'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.

Who is Adam David? Florida musician and recovery advocate wins 'The Voice' season 27
Adam David has officially won Season 27 of The Voice, capping off a compelling journey that began with just one chair turn during his Blind Audition. The South Florida native joined Michael Bublé's team and steadily earned his place, round after round, thanks to consistent performances and strong audience support. Initially not voted into the Top 4 during the semi-finals, Adam had to sing for an Instant Save, which he won with the majority of viewer votes. This secured his spot in the finale, where he triumphed over fellow finalists Jadyn Cree (also Team Bublé), Jaelen Johnston (Team Kelsea Ballerini), Lucia Flores-Wiseman (Team Adam Levine), and RENZO (Team John Legend). Adam's musical journey began at age eight with a guitar. 'I started playing guitar when I was 8,' he told Deepest Dream. 'I was always making things... little, simple melody things.' He started singing and writing songs by age 11, inspired by his uncle's performances. Beyond his music, Adam is six years sober. In March 2025, he marked this milestone, having previously entered treatment through Music Cares. His single 'Savior' was written during rehab, completed on his final day. 'It's a scary thing to put yourself out there,' he admitted, acknowledging the support from fans. Today, Adam performs weekly at rehab centres, sharing his story and music with those in recovery. His artistry and resilience resonated with audiences, culminating in his well-deserved victory. Bublé, proud of his team member, told him: 'You're my kind of artist... I knew you'd get here.'
