The Voice Recap: [Spoiler] Wins Season 22 — Top 5 Results (Finale)

It’s been each a topsy and a turvy three months of competitors, with one crushing elimination (Kim Cruse’s) after one other (Parijita Bastola’s), an early exit for Gwen Stefani’s complete staff, a fauxmance reduce brief (between rookie coach Camila Cabello and contestant Jaeden Luke), roughly a zillion promos for Carson Daly and Blake Shelton’s new present and the traumatization of 1 unlucky goat. But lastly, The Voice on Tuesday revealed the winner of Season 22.

Based on the polls that adopted TVLine’s recap of Monday’s performances by the Final Five, most of you had been hoping that Team Blake’s bodie can be awarded the title — and anticipating that he can be, too. But the finale had been arguably teammate Bryce Leatherwood’s most interesting evening within the sing-off; plus, he was the country-est nation act left. Team John Legend’s Omar Jose Cardona had made a compelling play for the crown together with his epic Queen cowl, and Team Camila’s Morgan Myles had completed sturdy together with her rendition of Little Big Town’s “Girl Crush.” As for Team Blake’s Brayden Lape… hey, his hair regarded terrific.

Before we discovered which of the finalists scored the victory, we had been handled to a star-studded present. Among the highlights had been OneRepublic doing “I Ain’t Worried” (full with a complete lotta whistling that it was laborious to fathom was actually carried out stay), Adam Lambert 1,000-percent upgrading Duran Duran’s “Ordinary World” (and dedicating his gorgeous efficiency to the LGBTQ+ neighborhood and the victims of the horrific Colorado Springs capturing) and Maluma serving up two of his hits (whereas backup dancers managed to do cardio in leather-based onesies).

But wait, there was extra. So. Much. More. We in all probability might’ve carried out with out Howie Mandel tutoring Camila on land a joke and the foolish Blake/John Odd Couple skit that went on perpetually. However, on the plus aspect, Girl Named Tom, chic as ever, returned to want for “One More Christmas” with their late dad and remind us why they’d so well-merited their Season 21 victory, BRELAND in all caps schooled future contestants on lowkey-cool on “For What It’s Worth,” and Blake (who was having a very busy evening) teamed up with the ever-present Kane Brown to sing “Different Man” on a Wheel of Fortune that made me dizzy simply taking a look at it. Finally, Kelly Clarkson, who might be again in her revolving chair for Season 23, requested “Santa, Can’t You Hear Me?” so spiritedly that ya needed to hope that he did.

As all the time, we additionally acquired a bunch of coach/contestant duets. How’d they go down? Rather like this…

Bryce Leatherwood and Blake Shelton, “Hillbilly Bone” — Bryce’s Grade: B+ | Is it simply me, or has Bryce turned the star high quality means up this week? Here, standing in for Trace Adkins, with whom his coach often does this single, he was unfastened and playful and rockin’ a voice that was so deep, it might need come from his ankles. Fun stuff — and a greater match of contestant/music than what got here subsequent.

Omar Jose Cardona and John Legend, “Signed, Sealed, Delivered (I’m Yours)” — Omar’s Grade: B | Wearing the whole glitter aisle from The Voice’s neighborhood Michael’s retailer, Omar sounded completely superb on his and his coach’s Stevie Wonder team-up. The quantity simply didn’t go away any room for the vocal pyrotechnics that had made Omar such a contender. He’s higher than “fine.”

(*5*)Brayden Lape and Blake Shelton, “Chasin’ That Neon Rainbow” — Brayden’s Grade: D | After Blake razzed his teen heartthrob about the whole lot from his soccer staff’s hairdon’ts to his skinny denims, the duo tackled Alan Jackson’s hit, with Brayden usually trying uncertain when he was supposed to return in and, when he did are available, sounding, properly… ya know.

Morgan Myles and Camila Cabello, “Never Be the Same” — Morgan’s Grade: A- | Kinda attention-grabbing listening to Camila’s voice subsequent to Morgan’s whiskey-soaked one — and it principally labored. More importantly, whereas John’s music choice gave him extra probabilities to shine than Omar, Camila’s selection of her personal music nonetheless allowed Morgan to point out off.

bodie and Blake Shelton, “God’s Country” — bodie’s Grade: A | Hmm. Did all of the contestants select their coach duets? ’Cause forward of his and Blake’s efficiency of the coach’s hit, bodie knowledgeable us that he himself had picked it as a result of it “slaps.” On stage, bodie slapped again, giving the country-rock quantity slamming alt-rock overtones. Takes loads to match Blake’s depth on this music, however by God, bodie did it.

And within the second of fact, we realized that viewers had voted into…
