Hi, everybody. Tonight marks the start of our finale week and our first live

show of the season. But before we begin, we wanted to take a second and

acknowledge the tragic and heartbreaking events of just the past few days.

From Sydney, Australia and Brown University to Brooklyn and most recently

Reiner family right here in Los Angeles, our hearts are with everybody affected.

On behalf of the Voice family, we send our love to those who are hurting and to

anybody facing a difficult moment right now.

Tonight, we invite you to come together through the power of music and we hope

it brings a sense of comfort, connection and light during this time.

This is it, our live season 28 finale. Tonight, you are picking the winner of

the void.

And as they take their seats, keep it going for our coaches, Michael Bublé.

The one and only Reba McIntyre.

Niall Horan is here.

And from the LBC, Snoop Dogg.

We got a big one tonight. Welcome, welcome.

Great to have you here. Not only is this the most important night of the

competition, we're also kicking off our two -night holiday spectacular.

We've got a big night of music ahead.

We've got six finalists. They're each going to sing twice for your votes.

They'll do a classic song, then they'll do one a little more contemporary.

Voting is open now for all artists on all methods.

But before we get to it, there's some important business to take care of. You

might recall after the playoffs, you voted for your favorite remaining

and now it's time to reveal your wildcard finalists. These artists will

last two spots in that final six. So let's bring out our first one, our first

wildcard finalist from Team Bublé. It's Max Chambers.

Congratulations, Max.

You're in the finale of The Voice. You can go prepare and get ready for...

Your multiple performances tonight. So proud of you, Matt.

And now our second wildcard finalist.

Well, instead of announcing it, why don't we just show you? Take a look.

Take that card.

America has voted you as one of the two wildcard winners. You will be performing

in the live finale.

Whoa!

We're in the finale.

There was no way that someone of your level could ever leave this competition.

America did the right thing.

Thank you. Thank you. I think they did.

Your blind audition is one of the most memorable I've been a part of in three

seasons. We are a country, but we're also a country pop trio.

Team Niall!

Look at my face. There I am. Look, figured it out. I did it. What?

Rebo's going down.

Rebo's falling on the ground. That's the crazy thing about this show.

I was like, I've got them on my team. I can't believe it. But now I have to pick

Rebo off the floor.

You were together for 14 months as a group before you auditioned for this

How long did it take you to like...

really think, oh, we're good at this.

When, like, your grandma says you're good versus, like, when... When Niall

and Reba McEntire... Until you're good, you know, and, like, give you a chance.

In the knockout, What If I Never Get Over You is, like, the first song that

you'd ever performed basically together.

It was the first song that people heard that, like, you guys need to do

something, like, you guys have chemistry together and you can't ignore it. It

was arguably my favourite moment of the show. That moment was just, oh, these

guys are serious.

That wall of sound that you make is just so beautiful.

You're harmonies, and when you guys come together, it's magic.

So you won the mic drop vote. You're actually performing at the Rolls -Royce.

actually won it. For the finale.

We're singing Fishing in the Dark by the Nitty Gritty Dirt Band.

Yeah, the country anthem.

Give the people what they want. Exactly, exactly.

There is so much room for Deck of Hearts in country music right now, and they

are the best in class.

And we got so lucky that they walked onto our set here at The Voice.

The chance to get to come back is like no other, and it almost makes you want

prove it even more. To win season 28 of The Voice for Deck of Hearts.

It would be quite the accomplishment.

We're coming in as like the underdogs. You know what I mean? The wild card.

And it's like America's had our back two other times. There's no reason why they

can't do it again. We would love to get you your third win and your first group

win ever.

That would be amazing. That would be awesome.

America is going to be dancing along like crazy on Monday night.

Oh my God, people are going to be so drunk all over this country.

Baby, get ready.

Across the field where the creek turns back by the old stumper road.

I'm gonna take you to a special place that nobody knows.

Baby, get ready.

We'll be right back.

Just to take you along, baby, get ready.

It don't matter if we sing for you. The fish don't bite.

The fish don't bite.

Jumping through the cool ourselves from the heat of the night, baby.

Deck of hearts. We'll get some thoughts from our coaches. Reba.

Oh, my gosh. You guys know how much I love you. That sounded terrific. I've

loved that song forever. And y 'all knocked it out of the ballpark. Thank

Well,

let's hear from your coach. But we should start with Niall. You've been

under the weather. We weren't sure we were going to get you here tonight for

live show.

How are you feeling, first of all?

Thank you. Yeah, I'm feeling a little bit better. It was a rough couple of

weeks, but I'm glad to be here.

Sadly, I won't have the opportunity to.

to sing with these guys. The doctor has put me on vocal rest.

But my good friend Reba, I have to thank her. She's going to step in and help me

out.

She's going to perform with the guys tomorrow night.

That might be a step up for us. Thank you, Reba.

I'm very proud of you now for making sure that you take care of yourself

we want you around with your beautiful voice for many years to come. Amen.

Well, we're glad you're feeling better.

I know you can't sing, but we want to get your thoughts on your group.

I mean, consistency. I've always said it. Consistency is king around this

And these guys have never, ever, ever put a foot wrong.

What a way to start five -chair performance.

Five -star performance.

Consistency is always done well around here, and you guys do bring it every

single time. I'm so proud of you. What a way to start the finale of The Voice.

All right. If you want Deco Hearts to win The Voice, you can vote on The Voice

official app at NBC .com.

Give it up for Deco Hearts.

off when we come back. Max Chambers takes on a song currently exploding on

TikTok and then later powerful performances from Aubrey and Jazz. This

season 28 finale performance show.

Stay with us.

Welcome back. We're officially kicking off our holiday season here at The

Thought we'd have to take a second. Family traditions are big in everybody's

household right now. Reba and I both have one we wanted to share. This is a

delicious banana pudding you're passing out to our coaches. It is. It's a family

tradition, and it's also on the menu at Reba's place in Atopa, Oklahoma.

Ooh. Yeah.

Yeah. Should you find yourself there, pick one up. That's delicious. Yes,

absolutely. I can't wait to indulge. Is there any booze in that one?

I don't think so. I got you covered over here. We've got, this is one of the

daily household going way back to the 80s for my mom. This is a Brandy

Alexander. Very strong.

A milkshake, an adult milkshake, if you will.

Mine goes back to 1880. Why don't you come down, Boo Blake?

Let's do a little toast here. Come on. We drank this Brandy Alexander so much

our household.

We named our family dog Bee Alexander.

We called her Lexi for short. Wait a minute.

So we make these. So to our family here at The Voice, we got to.

Gin and juice for Snoop because that's how it goes down.

You got to know when your people come to your crib, like, you know, you got to

get everybody what they need.

So from our voice family to all of you at home, I want to say thank you to all

of our coaches, all the talent on season 28, all of our family backstage, and

everybody, we hope you have a restful, safe holiday season. Cheers to all of

you. Cheers, coaches.

All of our audience members. All right.

I need an Uber tonight, that's for sure.

Oh, yeah.

It's like your buddy Martha Stewart made that one for you. Wow.

All right, so recipes, by the way, for both of these things are at The Voice

socials. You can check that out. We'll get back to the show now while we can.

As we get to the end of the season, our artist this week wrote special letters

to the one thing that has determined their paths in life. Of course, that's

music. We'll continue with a meaningful performance by another wildcard

finalist, Max Chambers, whose love of music has shaped the very person that he

is today.

This is my letter to music.

From the very first time I sang in church, I knew you were a gift from God.

When I stepped onto the Broadway stage playing young Michael Jackson, you

reminded me that every note I'll ever sing comes from above.

The three of us, God, you, and me, took the stage and crushed it.

A big thank you to Coach Buble for your guidance.

You believed in me and took a chance on a 14 -year -old, and now here we are at

the finale of The Voice, and I'll be singing a song by one of your good

Forrest Frank.

Forrest is so honored that you're doing it. I just want to thank you for

believing in me enough to do it, and I know on behalf of him it means a lot to

him, too.

A special thank you to my mom for being there by my side every step of the way.

You have been there through it all, and you keep me forever grounded.

Hey!

I am so proud of you, Son.

And you have a chance to possibly be the winner of The Voice at 14 years old.

That is just unbelievable.

We are so very proud.

Love you, Mama. I love you too, Son.

From the weight of all my sin, I need a friend to call

my own.

I need a house to call my home.

When I'm broken down inside and there's nowhere else

to hide, I need a place where I feel known.

Can someone help me?

Then I hear.

Your reply bringing teardrops to my eyes saying

I'm not alone.

Lord, I need you now more than ever.

Won't you put my heart back together?

Dad, you blessed me

All right, let's hear from your coach, Michael.

Bold, man.

Bold. It's bold.

It's bold to be open about your faith. Do you know how many people are watching

at home that might be shy to share theirs? And the fact that you just did

it's amazing.

And, yeah.

And, Mac, you're speaking to millions of people that you're moving, and on top

of it, you crushed it. Thank you. Thank you so much.

If you want Max to win The Voice, you can vote on The Voice official app on

.com. Give it up one more time for Max Chambers.

Coming up, Aubrey takes on a Cody Johnson Grammy -winning hit, and then

Aiden fight for your votes. This is the live finale performance show on The

Voice on NBC.

Welcome back to our season 28 finale. Voting is open now for all artists on

methods. Remember, you're voting for the one artist that you want to win it all.

You can change your mind up until that voting window closes at 7 a .m. Eastern

time. Every vote obviously matters. Tomorrow night we're going to reveal the

winner. We'll continue now with Aubrey Nicole.

This week she sat down with her coach and talked about the one chair turn that

changed everything for her.

Wow. Look at this.

Does it seem like yesterday?

Yes. Aw.

I am so excited to be in the finale.

I came in as a one -chair turn.

I'm really, really grateful to be here.

They said, what did you hear that made you turn around?

It's not so much of what I heard, it's what I felt. You've got that gift.

Portray that feeling to another person that needs it.

In the battles, I used my save on you. And then in the knockout rounds, when

sang the Martina McBride song, that was your breakout moment.

It was a really rough day for me.

My stepson was making his way to heaven.

That song and you singing it helped me get through it. So I appreciate that.

Thank you. You hit me. You hit me in the heart. And that's what music is

supposed to do. So in the playoffs, Black Velvet was a total left turn of

you'd been singing.

The day that I had sent in my virtual open call for the show, I just recorded

myself warming up with Black Velvet.

And little did I know that was the audition that got me here to the finale.

It's crazy.

Wow. Those last two performances from you deserve a place in the finale.

She's special, this girl. You bet. So for the finale, you're doing Till You

Can't by my good friend Cody Johnson.

You can tell your old man he'll do some large mouth.

I've always loved this song. From the second I heard it, I thought it was just

masterpiece. And I think it's the perfect song to sing in the finale.

Absolutely. The whole message is take every chance you can until you can't.

There you go. I did a little meet and greet back home at the ice cream shop I

worked at in high school.

There was this little girl there and she was like, what's your best piece of

advice for someone who wants to be a singer?

That was me when I was little.

I feel like this is an awesome opportunity for me to get in any final

encouragement for people who their dream is to do something like this.

Just remember, this is a story song, so try to keep your eyes open.

Not only does Aubrey have a great voice, she's very good on camera, and she

speaks very well. I think she's got a great chance of making it big in the

country music business.

Loved it. Good.

I would love to win this for Reva in order to thank her.

It's been such an incredible journey to learn from someone that I've looked up

to my entire life.

I'm going to take everything that I've learned and put it into this song.

Let's go win this thing.

All right. You ready?

Yes, I'm ready. All right. Thank you. Come on.

You can always put a rain check in there.

Here we go.

She's putting off forever with that girl whose heart you hold.

Swearing that you'll last some day further down the road.

You can always put a diamond on her head.

Do you care?

Take that phone call from your mama And just talk away Cause you'll never know

Aubrey, great job.

Thank you so much. Let's get some thoughts.

Snoop, wow.

Aubrey, you deserve to be here. You are phenomenal. This was one of the greatest

performances I've seen you do. You just get better every time you hit that

stage. Go on, girl.

Thank you.

Reba, you all right?

I'm exhausted.

You know how Mama always felt when I'd get on stage? She was mouthing every

and just so nervous and excited.

And you never wanted to sit by Mama because she would squeeze your hand so

tight.

Aubrey, I'm so proud of you. You're beautiful inside and out. I couldn't be

proud. Thank you so much. If you want Aubrey to win the voice, you can vote on

the voice official app at NBC .com. Give it up again. Team Reboot.

Aubrey Nicole.

After the break, jazz, tackles, a Phil Collins classic, and then Aiden and

pull out all the stops. Voting is open now. This is the live finale performance

show on The Voice. Don't move.

Welcome back to our season 28 finale. I'm here with Love Island's Ariana

of Traitors and Dancing with the Stars. Give it up, Dylan to Efron. Now, these

two.

I've brought to The Voice holiday drink cart.

Happy holidays, guys.

You're going to be helping us out tomorrow with our pregame, the pre -show

the big finale where we announce the winner of The Voice. Thank you in

Welcome to The Voice family.

You guys can tune in early and watch these guys.

First of all, cheers. Have a daily family.

Brandi Alexander.

And cheers to you. What are you looking forward to tomorrow, Ariana?

Oh, my gosh. I'm looking forward to seeing who wins.

Yeah, we've got six great options right here. XG.

Yeah. Big fan of XG. Excited to see their performance. We've got a bunch of

performances tomorrow. Dylan, how about you? This is strong. It is strong.

It feels a lot about my family, actually.

It started just at Christmas, then it was like every weekend.

Hey, let's make this Brandy Alexander's. Is it Christmas? No, it's Saturday.

Wait, here I have my chest.

Yeah, exactly.

Anyway, cheers, guys. It's great to have you on. Treat it like the Super Bowl

tomorrow and get America pumped.

Yeah. Get them, like, primed.

Like, liquored up, ready for the voice finale. One thing's seeing this on TV,

but being here, the energy and passion, like, you feel it here. Well, we're

psyched to have you guys, so thank you. We're going to continue the finale.

Performance is now with Teen Boo Blaze, Alabama soul singer, whose time on The

Voice truly shaped the artist that she wanted to be. She'll tell you more.

Here's Jazz McKenzie.

Oh, look at this!

Jazz McKenzie, this is your life.

Ooh, Reba just blocked Snoop. Yes, he did.

Snoop, in turn, would you have gone to Snoop? You know, it was a toss -up

between you and Snoop. Oh, thank you, Reba.

Woo!

You were so good, and I knew that you could win, so I had the dancers come up.

When marimba rhythms start to play, dance with me.

I was so desperate.

You don't know. It worked.

I was nervous, but it got easier as I went along. That's so cool. For the

playoffs, you sang Don't Stop Believin' by Dirty. You can see me watching you

actually rehearsing the song, losing my mind. Look at this.

Don't stop believin'. Are you starting to think, hmm, this

could happen? I felt like things were shaking up a little bit.

You know, I felt like, OK, we really could do this thing.

There is zero that you can't do. You're on a different planet. That was a really

tough day. But for me, it was you. What an honor. I find it very cute that even

now, when I call you, you're in the store working. What do the people think?

They must recognize you. They do recognize me. I've gotten a lot of, are

that girl that's on that singing show?

From Birmingham selling phones to now being what I like to think is the front

runner to be the voice champion. I think. Now that we're done and going to

rehearsal, I think we should end this the way we started it. Yeah.

Little Irish jig on stage. Little Irish jig on the way. Let's do it. This time

you're in on the Irish jig.

I'll get it. Let's go.

I don't know what the Irish jig is.

Oh, gosh.

Against all odds, Phil Collins. Against all odds.

Can we please have silence while we create our genius?

So take a look at me now.

And it's just an empty space.

I think this song is perfect for her in the finale because Jazz has an ability

to actually have her imprint on a song and make it even better.

She has one of the most unique and special voices that I've ever heard.

lyric is heartbreaking.

And if we can really make this heavy, it's going to be great.

Yeah. When I first started this process, I never anticipated making it this far.

I am one performance away from winning The Voice. Can you pinch me?

Can somebody come and pinch me right now?

Make America cry their faces off.

This is the moment.

It's going to be beautiful.

With you.

You're the only one.

Who really knew me at all.

How can you just walk away from me.

When all I can do is watch you leave.

Cause we've shared.

that just makes...

to your coach, Michael.

I wrote you last night. I told you you are the light.

This is it. This is my last time here, right? I leave this show and let me tell

you, Jazz McKenzie, thank you. What a way to go.

I love you. You are perfect. Thank you.

If you want Jazz to win The Voice, you can vote on The Voice official app at

.com. Give it up again for Jazz McKenzie.

Impassionate performance by Aiden Roth, and then Ralph confees for your votes

and a chance to win it all. We are live on The Voice.

Don't move.

We are live from Universal Studios Hollywood.

Happy holidays, everybody. Tonight you're picking the winner of The Voice.

Voting is open now. Our finale continues with Team Niles.

Aiden Ross in a performance inspired by something that has guided his path in

life.

Dear music, you've been with me since I was a kid in Texas.

Singing in the car and learning chords that barely fit my hands.

When life felt unsteady, you gave me something to cling to.

I always thought I was supposed to be an engineer.

That was the plan, the safe road, but...

Every time I tried to picture my future, it always led back to you.

Being on this show.

Ready? Yeah. Standing on these stages, working with these producers.

Feeling what happens when I truly put everything into a song made it clear.

Music isn't just something I love, it's the thing I'm meant to do.

You led me to the voice. From day one, Niall kept repeating the thing that

matters most.

Just let it play.

Serving the song first. Not do less, just do what the song needs.

He'd ask what the lyric means to me, where the heartbeat is, and how to let

lead.

It's the holidays, so I think about family, Texas Christmas lights, and

drifting through the house.

Tonight, in the finale, I want to say thank you for getting me through the

days, for marking the best ones, and for bringing me right here.

Let's make people feel something.

Love, Aiden.

If you love me, sitting in your car, looking in the blind, falling for each

other, pink and orange skies, I'm a super child, with on a glove, let's go

my mother, like where you at tonight, got no alibi, I was all alone, with the

love of my life, she's got glitter for skin, my radiant

Alright.

The room's fired up. Coaches are pumped up. Niall?

I don't know whether to laugh or cry. This guy is beyond talented. He's

absolutely insane.

I'm so proud of you, Aidan. You always do find the heartbeat in the end. We

then aubrey and deca heart Return to the stage.

We're live on NBC.

Stay with us.

Welcome back to our live finale. We continue now with the determined Fresno

singer who never stopped believing this moment would come.

And with the help of his coach, it certainly has. Here's more from Ralph

Edwards.

I feel like every step of the way of this show, you've got better and better

better. And now you, like, to the point of the show where America makes the

decision. What is your heart feeling like now, knowing that you had 11 shots

even get here?

12 times the charm.

You know, I've tried out for the voice 11 times before this. And so when I

saw the stage, you know, I brought a little, you know, a little bit of fear,

man.

I choked up a little bit.

I don't remember when you guys turned around. You don't, but your family do.

Your girl was doing it. She was crying her eyes out. I'll get that change,

Snoop. Look up.

Dare to be different, Rafi. I had to pick him up.

I was like, Michael Jordan? Yes, you did. That's the Jordan run. I want to

to have the Jordan on you.

Don't call me baby.

The knockouts. That was tough for me.

I just had to stay true to who I was.

Wow, Rob, you could easily win this show, dude. The way you take other

songs and make them your songs, you give it joy, you give it more life.

The thing I love about your voice, man, is the way you control it, you can

growl. Then at certain times when you sing and when you close your eyes and

you're getting so deep that you forget you're in front of people. That's what I

love about you.

Snoop Dogg is in tears over here.

Dude, I can't even speak after that. Rob?

You're the voice, dude. That's what you are. Unbelievable.

Thank you so much. I'm proud of you, Ralph. It's a big situation happening

you, and you still remaining to be who you are. To be as far as I am now, I'm

blessed. So I'm excited to show you and America what else I can do.

I know you can show me.

In order for Ralph to take home this win, I want to know what love is has to

Oscar -worthy.

The biggest, strongest projection of vocals, showmanship.

Eye contact, because when you look into his eye, how could you not see the boy?

The first verse, it felt like he was trying to figure out, should I be fast,

slow? When you got to that second verse, yo, it was like this. So you got to

make sure you lock in like that. Got you, got you. I love the way it feels. I

know you're going to have your look together.

It's going to be, matter of fact, your look together. Your look. Open that up

and take a look.

Oh my gosh. Yeah.

Team Snoop Dogg. I'm going to put that on for sure.

You wear that the night of. Being one performance away from winning the voice

absolutely ridiculous.

I've been told no so many times, but I've never given up. I will definitely

singing this for my fiancee because she's been my rock this entire time,

with Snoop, and it's time to win this thing.

take a little time a little time to think things over

I better read between the lines

in case I need it when I'm older in

my life

The change.

He's on the voice stage.

Give it up for Ralph Edwards, a .k .a. Wreck -It Ralph.

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen in red.

Oh, man.

There he goes again. Wreck -It Ralph, Snoop. Wreck -It Ralph.

This guy.

This guy.

Now, can you read that for me? I can't talk right now. And the winner is...

Thank you. Thank you. Thank you so much. Thank you.

Never give up. I love the fact that you never gave up and you're still here.

People watching this, never give up.

Let's go, Ralph.

If you want Ralph to win the voice, you can vote on the voice official app at

NBC .com. Give it up again.

He is Team Snoop. Ralph Edwards.

Incredible back -to -back performances.

Aubrey takes on her coach's song and an emotional song by the return of Deck of

Hearts. The season 28 finale performance show, our holiday spectacular, rolls on

after this.

Welcome back to our live finale tonight. You're picking the season 28 winner of

The Voice. We've got back -to -back performances.

And we'll begin with another song from Team Reba's Aubrey Nicole, who can't

remember a time when music wasn't a part of her life.

Dear music, from the very beginning, you were the sound of my home.

From my mother singing me to sleep, family's guitar picking and sing

you were the backdrop of every childhood memory, the comfort that wrapped around

me when the world felt too big, and the spark that lit something inside me long

before I had the words to describe it.

You opened doors I never believed I'd stand in front of, and the biggest so

being the voice in introducing me to Reba.

I can't believe the woman whose songs I sang in college and admired on TV and

radio thinks that I have a voice that's special enough to go to the finale as

her finalist.

This journey has changed me.

I've met people who love you as fiercely as I do, who have now become friends

turned to family, reminding me of your ability to hold so many people together.

You unite us.

That's why, even though it breaks my heart to be so far from home during the

holidays, I know that every time I sing, I bring a part of my family with me.

So thank you, music, my dearest friend and my calling.

God gave me you to give purpose to my life.

You've led me all the way here, and now here I am at the finale, ready for

whatever comes next.

With love, Aubrey Nicole.

He's on his way home from Candle Top.

Been two weeks gone, they thought he'd stop at a well and have him a drink

before he went home to her.

Andy Warlow said hello.

He said, hi, what's doing? And I got some bad news that's going to hurt.

He said, I'm your best friend and you know that's why.

Your young bride ain't home tonight.

She's been gone.

He got mad and he stole.

And he said, boy, don't you lose your hair. I'll tell you the truth.

I've been with her myself.

too small for Andy to make.

He looked through the screen at the back porch door. He saw Andy lying on the

floor in a puddle of blood.

And he started to sift.

The Georgia patrol wasn't making the route, so he fired a shot slightly down.

A big -bellied sheriff grabbed a gun and said, why don't you do it?

Well, they hung my brother before I did it. The tracks he saw were on his way to

Andy's house and back that night were mine.

And this cheap wife had never left town. That's one body that...

Coach Reba, what did you think of Aubrey's performance?

Well, I've loved that song forever.

Vicki Lawrence had a number one record on it. I loved it, so I recorded it. And

look what you're doing with it. Congratulations, girl. You knocked it

ballpark. If you want Aubrey to win the voice, you can vote on the voice

official app and to NBC .com. Once again, give it up for Aubrey Nicole.

All right. We've got two great performances here. I'll continue right

our next one from Team Niall.

Deck of Hearts, of course, the country trio who found each other because of

their mutual love of one very important thing.

Okay.

I'll start.

Dear music, before I had words, I had you. You've been a part of my life since

was in the crib. Before I went down for a nap, I would hum scales and you'd

carry me off to sleep.

You helped me connect with people who understood me. And when it was time to

graduate, you and my family gave me the confidence to move to Nashville, where

you led me to my other house, Colin and Emily.

For these things, I'm forever grateful.

You guys are bad.

Dear music, you've always been near.

As I grew, you stayed consistent, helping me discover who I truly am.

You led me to Nashville and into a life I never imagined. Full -time music, the

voice, and the courage to chase what felt impossible.

Most beautifully, you brought me Colin and Dylan. I thank God for the gift he

placed in my life through you.

Dear Music.

My love for you started with my grandma Bailey, who had me humming melodies and

strumming a fly swatter like a guitar before I was old enough to count to ten.

You've carried me through every season of life, giving me some of my best

memories and closest friends. And now getting to make music with the D and E

deck has become one of the greatest blessings I could ever ask for.

This doesn't feel real. It doesn't feel real. It's crazy that we started it and

then the Lord was like, now you're going to The Voice. Have fun.

I love you guys. Come on.

I'm so proud of us.

Let's go do this thing. Let's do it.

From walking home and talking low.

To seeing shows and evening clothes with you.

From nervous and touching, getting drunk.

To staying up and waking up with you.

But now we're flipping at the edge, holding something we don't need.

All this delusion in our heads is gonna bring us to our knees.

Come on, let it go.

Just let it be.

Why don't you be you and I'll be me?

Everything that's broke, leave it to the breeze.

Why don't you be you and I'll be me?

And I'll be me.

We're going close. We'll cross the floor.

See the closet slamming doors at you.

If this is all.

When we're becoming something.

Hey, Jazz has been on an Olivia Rodrigo mega hit.

Personally arranged by her coach, by the way. And then Max and Ralph return.

Season 28 finale.

Very much live on NBC. Back after this.

Welcome back and happy holiday to you and yours. Our live finale continues.

Your votes, of course, tonight determine the winner.

Of The Voice this incredible season, we'll continue out with Team Buble's

McKenzie, an artist whose life has always revolved around the love she gets

music.

Dear music, my love for music runs deeper than melody.

It has been a compass, a comfort, and a calling.

Growing up, the soundtrack of my life was my mama's voice.

Before I ever knew what a stage felt like, I knew what love sounded like.

through her singing.

I also want to share my gratitude and my love for my incredible coach.

Where are we, Jack? That's a money shot. We are behind the scenes at rehearsal.

Michael, thank you for your guidance, your patience, your humor, and your

in me. You reminded me that music is not about perfection.

It's about connection.

My mother's voice, my family's harmonies, and Michael Bublé's guidance

They remind me why I love music with every breath I take, because it saves,

lifts, and it brings me back to myself every single time.

With love, Jazz McKenzie.

So, Jazz, someone wanted to say something special to you.

Oh. Wish you good luck.

Oh, hey, mom.

I am so absolutely proud of you.

You got this.

You were.

Born for this.

I love you so much, Mom.

I love you, too.

Bye, girl.

To finally drive up to your house Today I drove through the suburbs

Crying cause you weren't around

Probably with that blonde girl

Who always made me cry So much all today Everything

I'm insecure about Today I drove through the suburbs

Kenzie here on the Live Voice finale performance show.

Great work, Jazz.

Look at our coach, Snoop. We've got them all choked up.

Doesn't happen often, but when it does, it's special.

Snoop, you need a minute?

Nah, man.

Man, seeing you with your mama and the way you sing, you touch my heart, Jazz.

You're amazing.

Thank you.

Let's talk to your coach, Jazz Michael.

I love him.

I love you. I love you, and your mom's right. You're meant to be a star, and

America, you always get it right. I hope they feel the way that I do. That's

all.

Remember, if you want Jazz to win the voice, you can vote on the voice

app at NBC .com. Give it up for Jazz McEasy.

Again. Straight ahead, Max takes on the great Whitney Houston and then Wreck -It

Ralph hits the stage, as will Aiden for one last shot to win it all. This is the

live season 28 finale of The Voice.

Welcome back. Our season 28 finale tonight. You're picking the winner of

Voice. We'll continue now with the youngest in this competition. This week,

sat down with his coach to talk about his journey from a regular 14 -year -old

to Voice finalist.

Max, America has voted you as one of the two wildcard winners.

You will be performing at the live finale.

What?

Welcome. To the finale, my man. I'm so happy for you, buddy. This is exactly

I thought it would go down. And I knew America would do the right thing.

America, I won't let you down.

So now that you and I can look back, I love that I'm watching you. You're

backstage and you're so nervous. And then the lights turned on and wow.

Oh, baby, give me one more chance.

I was nervous because I really wanted a chair turn. But I guess I just did it.

Yeah. You know, you're a special kid.

14 years old, will you carry yourself?

What does it feel like going from that blind and then going back to school?

School was boring.

I mean, when you're on a stage as big as this performing, I'm doing what I love.

This is such a big opportunity, and I'm just super grateful for it. So now we

got the knockouts, and you're starting to show at this point that you are a

contender.

You get that acapella start. I'm thinking this young man could win this

The way you took that Stevie Wonder song and put your own ballad on it, a star

is born, man.

Then we get to the playoffs. I see that you have braces there. And now they're

gone. Now they're gone.

You look great. You look great there, too.

And I know that night was probably very bittersweet for you. All right. It is

not over yet. America's votes will send one remaining artist to that finale.

But at the same time, I love that America has shown us they believe in you

like I do. And now you'll be singing One Moment in Time by Whitney Houston, one

of the greatest singers that ever has been. I'm going to work hard to seize

one moment in time. Yes. Can you imagine being the youngest winner ever of The

Voice? That'd be crazy. You deserve it.

So, Max, feel good about it?

You know, Mac, he reminds me a little of Shawn Mendes. Very reserved and shy

offstage.

When the cameras turn on, he has the confidence and the ambition and no fear.

And when you put those things together, you get a star.

My God, please let me open for you. Don't forget me. Don't forget Uncle

I won't. Since I've been here on The Voice, I have literally grown.

In my blind, I was 5 '5", and now I'm 5 '9 1⁄2". Your voice is

changing as we speak.

So don't ever be afraid to go like, no, this key. Give me one.

Mr. Buble, he's not only helped me as an artist, but he taught me to not be

afraid to laugh at yourself.

I'm super ready for the finale.

Being one performance away from my dream coming true is crazy.

Today I live. I want to be a day to

give the best of me.

I'm only one, but not alone.

My finest day is yet unknown.

I broke my heart.

For every gain To taste the sweet I face

the pain I rise and fall Yet through it

all This much remains I want one

moment inside When I'm more than

I thought I could be

When all of my dreams are a heartbeat away And the

answers are all up to me Give me one

moment

Thank you, ladies and gentlemen, for that accompaniment. Happy holidays to

Buddy, what a night.

What a wild card performance by you, Max.

Awesome, bro. So happy that you're here. That was beautiful.

We'll talk to your coach, Michael. Michael, some thoughts, please.

I feel just so blessed, not just for myself, but for, honestly, all of

to get in this early on the ride. That is going to be your life. You are a

beautiful human being, Max. You're a great kid, and you're a star. Thank you

being so amazing.

Remember, if you want Max to win The Voice, you can vote on the voice

app on NBC .com. Give it up. His work is done tonight. The youngest, Max

Chambers.

Straight ahead, we're getting down to it, everybody.

Wreck -It Ralph heats up the stage for the Bruno Mars hit, and then Aiden will

pose out the night. Do not move.

The Voice season 28 finale on NBC continues after this.

Welcome back to our live finale performance show and the most important

voting. Remember, you're voting for your favorite artist and you can change your

vote until the voting window closes at 7 a .m. Eastern time. We're going to

reveal, of course, your winner tomorrow night. We'll continue with another

performance by Ralph and his letter to a powerful force that has always been

there for him.

Dear music, you have been with me from the beginning, from the call of my first

word.

to the sound of my first steps.

When my school made me doubt myself, you gave me something to be proud of.

Every note I sang reminded me I had a gift, something no grade could measure,

something no test could define.

You taught me to carry pride in my voice and myself.

I will never forget my very first voice casting call, and there was a lot of

them. I walked in ready to win. I walked out in nothing but silence.

You taught me that through rejection and disappointment comes growth.

In the last six months, I not only gained a fiancé, but I got a four -chair

turn, which is basically five yeses. Will you marry me?

Now I have a chance to win and achieve my dream.

My coach Snoop Dogg has truly become family.

Working with him has been such a blessing.

He taught me to lay back on the beat and live in the moment.

That teaching really helped pave the way for me to go all the way to the finale.

Thank you, music, for all that you have done and for all that you will do.

Yours truly, Ralph Edwards.

Beautiful letter there, Ralph. We've got just a second here before we get to his

performance, but I just want to mention.

Tomorrow night, obviously, is the first performance part of our finale. We'll

have a winner tomorrow night. We're crunching the numbers, looking at some

the stats about potentially what could happen tomorrow night as we crown our

season 28 winner. This could be, Michael Bublé, your third victory in a row

tomorrow night. It could happen.

I couldn't even notice. Listen, being part of this family, there's no way to

lose. And I'm not just saying that. This is the greatest pleasure.

You seem very emotional tonight.

I am. I love you guys, and I really do. This has been the greatest gig of my

life, you know? And I don't just love you. I love the artists, all of them.

So they'll only be winners. They're our only winners here. Well, you can get the

three feet tomorrow. By the way, Niall.

And Gina Miles is going to be here tomorrow night. We have a great show for

tomorrow. Khalid is going to be here.

Zach Brown is going to be here.

Sophronio, former winner, is going to be here as well. You could get three

tomorrow if you win, not in a row, but your third win. Fingers crossed. Fingers

crossed. You could get two tomorrow.

I could.

Snoop could get his first winner tomorrow.

Let's go.

Possibly. You don't know.

Watch tomorrow night.

History could be made here. It is time for our next performance. Give it up for

Ralph Edwards, ladies and gentlemen.

What's going on?

about the complete package right there. We didn't see your vocalization in

different genres, but to see you dance, to see you perform, to see you coming to

your full completion of who you're supposed to be. America, make the vote,

Remember, if you want Ralph to win the voice, you can vote on the voice

app at NBC .com. Give it up again for Ralph Edwards.

When we come out, we've got Aiden here to close out the night with the number

one global hit. This is The Voice. Don't move.

Welcome back. We've got one more performance to go. We're going to close

this huge night with Team Nile Soulful Pop Singer. Here's everything that's led

up to this moment for Aiden Ross.

Come on in, brother.

Oh, man.

You good? I'm great.

Oh, look at this guy. Look.

Oh, my gosh.

Stressed.

Unbelievably stressed.

It was so hard to sing because I was the happiest I've ever been. But I was

singing Love in the Dark by Adele, which is like a heart -wrenching song.

So I was like, I don't know how to feel right now.

Look, there you go. That's what I think of it. This was the audition of the

week. I just love how you could take Adele and make it your own. I think you

could be in the final of this competition.

Niall, thanks for picking me as your coach.

Thanks for turning your chair, man.

Come on.

What was your life like before this? I was an engineering student.

I applied to The Voice on a leap of faith and then the flame just turned

fire and I've just been running with it ever since.

Watching you grow over the last few months has been nuts. You're so good

sometimes you don't know what to do with it.

Oh my gosh.

The one that really stands out to me is when the party's over.

You get it every now and then on the show where the room goes silent and you

nearly hear the lights buzzing and people don't know whether to clap,

cry. When you were singing, I was stuck like a dump truck. I couldn't even move.

You sound like you could actually win the voice. And it felt like every living

room in America and the whole world of social media, it was just going, okay,

this guy's the real deal.

It was a great time, man.

Your biggest ability, apart from your singing, is to really sell a song.

That's what has you in the finale.

It's just an exciting time to be Aidan Ross.

The winner takes it all.

The winner takes it all. How are you feeling?

Excited to show the world this different arrangement. I belong there.

It's an epic version of it.

It is pretty epic. It's very cinematic. It's very dramatic.

That's what we want.

I am forever thankful to Niall for selecting me in the finale.

He is very much still like a big brother figure. I think the connection, the

friendship that we have has given me so much confidence.

I want to win this thing so freaking bad.

Me and Niall, baby.

Thank you. Aidan's one of those guys that can do it all. He's one of the most

naturally gifted singers I think I've heard in a very, very, very long time.

When Aidan just performed, my whole contact list just goes nuts.

He's the best singer in the competition and could easily win this. The country's

behind you.

I'm behind you. Go out and just...

Enjoy it. I'm ready for it, man. This is gonna be fun.

Get ready, America.

And that's what you've done too Nothing more to say

No more ace to play

The winner takes it all

The loser...

I figured it'd make sense.

Building the fence.

Building the...

The winner takes it all.

That is Aiden Ross to close out the night, everybody, on our awesome night

performances here on The Voice finale.

Thank you for that accompaniment.

Not a lot of time left.

Niall, let's go to you for some quick thoughts.

I am so, so proud of you. That was absolutely incredible. Just feel the

in this room right now. America, please go and vote for that guy.

Remember, if you want Aiden to win The Voice, you can vote on The Voice

app and NBC .com.

Give it up one more time for Aiden Roth.

Hey, big night tomorrow, 8 p .m. Eastern. We'll see you right here where

announce the winner.

of season 28 of The Voice, holiday style in L .A. I'm Carson Bailey. Good night,

everybody. See you tomorrow.
