Danielle Bradbery, of Team Blake Shelton, has taken The Voice title for season four – beating out Michelle Chamuel of Team Usher, who came in second, and The Swon Brothers, Zach and Colton, of Team Blake, who nabbed third place.
“I’m so thankful,” said an overwhelmed-looking Bradbery, just 16, after her win as her eyes brimmed with tears. “I’m sorry, I’m speechless.”
This is the third win in a row for Shelton, who happened to be celebrating his 37th birthday Tuesday night – and was serenaded with a rendition of “Happy Birthday” from the audience before the show went live. The victory comes after a successful season filled with particularly talented singers – something Shelton pointed out Monday night.
“I seriously think this is the best season of The Voice that we’ve had so far,” Shelton said after The Swon Brothers kicked off the finale performances Monday with The Eagles’ “I Can’t Tell You Why.”
The season also stood out for the camaraderie between the judges and the contestants, who showed respect and support for one another throughout the competition – despite the friendly bickering between Shelton and fellow coach Adam Levine.
