AceShowbiz - The finale of "The Voice" season 12 which aired on Tuesday, May 23 was jam-packed with exciting array of musical collaborations. Top 10 artists of this season took the stage to perform with stellar musicians across music genres, prior to the big revelation of this season's winner. One of the four finalists, Chris Blue (Team Alicia Keys), Lauren Duski (Team Blake Shelton), Jesse Larson (Team Adam Levine) and Aliyah Moulden (Team Blake), would be crowned the winner.
The show kicked off with a performance of Mark Isaiah (Team Adam), singing Justin Bieber's part in "Despacito" alongside Daddy Yankee and Luis Fonsi. Next up was a terrific performance of coach Gwen Stefani's semifinalist Brennley Bown and Rascal Flatts. The two took the stage to deliver an energetic and classically country performance of the band's latest hit "Yours If You Want It".
Jesse Larson later sang "Shining Star" with Cee-Lo. As Adam had always gushed that Jesse is the "white Cee-Lo", the performance couldn't be more perfect. Fellow finalist Lauren Duski followed it up with a rendition of "Better Man" with the original singer Little Big Town. The next performance saw the return of semifinalist Hunter Plake (Team Gwen), who was joined by Gwen. They joined forces singing Gwen's band No Doubt's smash hit "Don't Speak".
Alesia Cara and Zedd were up next, offering a mesmerizing perfomance of their chart-topping hit "Stay". The epic performance was followed by Chris Blue, who got the opportunity to sing with Usher. The two amazing singers belted out "Everybody Hurts" in the breathtaking performance.
Chris Stapleton later introduced his new single "Either Way". The next performance was from TSoul and Vanessa Ferguson, who got the honor to share a stage with Gladys Knight. Miley Cyrus, who is set to return as coach in the upcoming season 13, took the stage to perform her latest single "Malibu".
Before we got to see the epic performance of upcoming season 13 coach Jennifer Hudson, finalist Aliyah took the stage with Alessia, performing a rendition of Alessia's hit song "Scars to Your Beautiful". Once Aliyah and Alessia finished their performance, Jennifer took center stage. She belted out her new song "Remember Me".
Now it was time for the nerve-wracking moment. Host Carson Daly revealed that Jesse was in the fourth place. Aliyah followed in third, leaving Chris and Lauren in top 2. And the one who was crowned the winner of "The Voice" season 12 was Chris Blue!
