AceShowbiz - "The Voice" season 21 crowned its winner in the Tuesday, December 14 episode. In the new outing, the Top 5, Paris Winningham and Wendy Moten from Team Blake Shelton, Girl Named Tom and Hailey Mia from Team Kelly Clarkson, and Jershika Maple from Team John Legend, learned the results of their performances in the previous episode.
The night opened with a performance by Coldplay and Bangtan Boys (BTS) as they joined forces to sing their single "My Universe". The Korean boy group wasn't actually present in the studio as they appeared through holographic display.
Following it up were Hailey and Kelly, who hit the stage to sing "Funny" by Jasmine Thompson and Zedd. Prior to the performance, the "Stronger" hitmaker gushed over Hailey, praising her for her maturity and ability to storytell at such a young age.
Coach Ariana Grande and Blake then teamed up for a comedic bit in which she was auditioning for a cowgirl in the country singer's music video. Later, country star Walker Hayes took the stage to serenade everyone with his song "Fancy Like".
Host Carson Daly later introduced the duet between Paris and Blake, calling them "kindred spirits." Blake went outside his comfort zone as the pair sang R&B group The O'Jays' "Love Train".
Up next was Matthew McConaughey and Nick Kroll who introduced their co-stars Keke Palmer and Tori Kelly's rendition of "Christmas Baby (Baby Please Come Home)" featuring the Top 13 artists. Then, Jershika and John hit the stage to sing "O Holy Night".
Former mega mentor Ed Sheeran returned to the show to perform his song "Shivers". Despite technical error at the beginning of his performance, the chart-topping singer delivered a stunning performance. Also performing that night was Jennifer Lopez, who sang piano ballad "On My Way" from her new movie "Marry Me", and Carrie Underwood, who joined John for "Hallelujah".
Girl Named Tom and Kelly offered a duet of "Leave Before You Love Me" by Jonas Brothers and Marshmello. Wendy and Blake also performed a duet, singing "Just a Fool" by Blake and Christina Aguilera. Former coach Alicia Keys then hit the stage to sing her new single "Old Memories". Ariana Grande, who had no singer from her team competing in the Finals, performed "Just Look Up" with Kid Cudi.
It was time to reveal the results. Jershika was named as the artist finishing in 5th place. Hailey trailed behind in 4th place, while Paris was announced as the 3rd place finisher. It all came down to Girl Named Tom and Wendy. The winner of "The Voice" season 21 is Girl Named Tom!
