In a finale that had viewers on the edge of their seats, Adam David was crowned the winner of The Voice Season 27 on Tuesday, May 20, 2025, marking a back-to-back victory for coach Michael Bublé. The soulful singer from Team Bublé, whose journey on the NBC singing competition captivated audiences worldwide, beat out four other talented finalists to claim the title, securing his place in The Voice history. The emotional announcement, made during the live finale at 9/8c on NBC, sent fans into a frenzy, with social media lighting up with celebration for Adam and his coach, Michael Bublé, who has now proven himself a formidable force in the competition.
A Journey of Heart and Resilience
Adam David’s path to victory was anything but straightforward. The singer-songwriter and guitarist, known for his smoky yet sweet vocals—once described by coach Kelsea Ballerini as “barbecue”—entered the competition with a humble beginning. During the Blind Auditions, only one coach turned their chair for Adam: Michael Bublé. Reflecting on that moment, Adam later shared that he felt the sting of being a one-chair turn but was determined to prove himself. “As a coach, we don’t always get it right,” Bublé admitted during the finale, his voice thick with emotion. “But I know America, they always get it right.”
Adam’s journey was marked by consistent growth, a quality that resonated deeply with viewers. In the Playoffs, he performed Bob Dylan’s “I Shall Be Released,” earning high praise from the other coaches. Adam Levine, reflecting on his initial oversight, admitted, “Shame on us, because I believe you so wholeheartedly.” Bublé, who chose Adam to advance to the Live Shows alongside teammate Jadyn Cree, told him, “You deserve to have a beautiful and long career in this business.” That belief carried Adam through the competition, even when he faced a setback in the semi-finals.
During the Live Semi-finals, Adam found himself in the middle four, requiring an Instant Save to secure his spot in the Top 5. His soaring rendition of Teddy Swims’ “Lose Control” stunned everyone, earning him the viewer votes needed to advance. “Adam David might have just won #TheVoice with that song choice,” one viewer marveled on social media at the time. That performance set the stage for his finale showdown, where he delivered two breathtaking performances: Billy Preston’s “You Are So Beautiful” and Jelly Roll and Brandon Lake’s “Hard Fought Hallelujah.”
In the finale, Adam’s performances were nothing short of spectacular. His rendition of “You Are So Beautiful” was vocally flawless, subtly rendered, and brimming with emotion, earning an A grade from critics. His second performance, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” showcased his ability to connect deeply with a song’s lyrics, though some noted the backing choir carried much of the emotional weight. Still, the combination of Adam’s raw talent and heartfelt delivery won over America’s votes, placing him at the top of the Season 27 leaderboard.
A Star-Studded Finale and a Back-to-Back Win for Bublé
The Season 27 finale was a two-night event packed with star power and emotional moments. On Monday, May 19, the Top 5 artists—Adam David and Jadyn Cree from Team Bublé, Jaelen Johnston from Team Kelsea Ballerini, Lucia Flores-Wiseman from Team Adam Levine, and RENZO from Team John Legend—performed for America’s votes. Each contestant brought their A-game, with RENZO delivering bold renditions of “Fly Away” and “Lover, You Should’ve Come Over,” Lucia rocking out to “Wish You Were Here” and “Wildflower,” Jadyn performing “Come On Eileen” and “Lose You to Love Me,” and Jaelen serenading with “What Was I Thinkin’” and “Cold.”
Tuesday’s finale, hosted by Carson Daly, featured a lineup of guest performers that added to the night’s excitement, including Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Alicia Keys, Chance the Rapper, Foreigner, James Bay, Sheryl Crow, Joe Jonas, and Season 22 winner Bryce Leatherwood, who performed “God Made.” But the highlight for many was the duet between Adam David and Michael Bublé, where they performed The Band’s “The Weight.” Fans on social media gushed over their camaraderie, with one user noting, “Love their comradery, very comfortable on stage together, giving each other great energy.” Another wrote, “This duet with Adam David and Michael Bublé is incredible!!!! I’d buy their record in 2 seconds flat!”
When Adam was announced as the winner, Bublé leapt from his chair, running to embrace his protégé in a tearful hug. “I love you, man,” Bublé said, his voice breaking. “You’re my kind of artist… Congratulations, I knew you’d get here.” The victory marked Bublé’s second consecutive win, following Sofronio Vasquez’s triumph in Season 26, making him the first coach to achieve back-to-back victories since Blake Shelton. “There’s something that I really love about a guy who has done the work, who has put in the time, who has gigged,” Bublé had said of Adam earlier in the season. “He is a working musician, a blue-collar guy who deserves the shot… He is ready for a great career.”
The final standings saw Jaelen Johnston from Team Kelsea Ballerini as the runner-up, followed by RENZO (Team John Legend) in third place, Lucia Flores-Wiseman (Team Adam Levine) in fourth, and Jadyn Cree (Team Bublé) in fifth. Despite the competition, the finale was a celebration of all the artists’ talents, with each leaving an indelible mark on the season.
A Season of Twists and Talents
Season 27 of The Voice, which kicked off in February 2025, was a rollercoaster from the start. The season featured coaches Adam Levine, who returned after a hiatus since Season 16, John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, and Michael Bublé, who quickly became a fan favorite for his heartfelt coaching style. The season introduced several twists, including a “Super Save” that allowed coaches to bring back eliminated contestants, shaking up the competition. Adam David’s journey was a testament to the season’s unpredictability—he wasn’t an early frontrunner, but his growth and authenticity won over viewers.
The Top 5 artists showcased the diversity of talent this season. Jadyn Cree, also from Team Bublé, brought a pop-rock flair with her angelic voice and stage presence, a legacy tied to her father, Bryan Olesen, a Season 25 alum. Lucia Flores-Wiseman from Team Adam Levine was a polarizing yet brilliant performer, while Jaelen Johnston from Team Kelsea Ballerini emerged as an underdog after being saved from elimination. RENZO from Team John Legend impressed with his bold creativity, drawing comparisons to past winners for his risk-taking approach.
The Impact of a Win
Adam’s victory comes with significant rewards: a recording contract and a cash prize, traditionally valued at $100,000, though the exact amount for Season 27 hasn’t been publicly disclosed. More importantly, the win offers Adam a platform to launch his career, following in the footsteps of past The Voice contestants like Melanie Martinez and RaeLynn, who, despite not winning, went on to sign with major labels and tour with artists like Maren Morris.
For Bublé, this win cements his legacy on The Voice. The crooner, who joined the show in Season 26, has quickly become a powerhouse coach, with two wins under his belt. He’s the only coach returning for Season 28, set to air later this year, where he’ll be joined by Snoop Dogg, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire. Fans are already speculating about whether Bublé can achieve a three-peat, a feat only Blake Shelton has accomplished.
A Moment That Resonated Worldwide
Adam David’s win has struck a chord with fans, who have taken to social media to express their joy. Posts on X highlight the emotional impact of his victory, with one user noting, “I have never loved a coach and contestant more than Michael Bublé and Adam David. They make me so happy.” Another praised Adam’s journey, saying, “From a one-chair turn to winning #TheVoice—Adam David’s story is what this show is all about.”
As Adam David steps into the spotlight as The Voice Season 27 champion, the world is watching to see what’s next for this blue-collar musician with a heart of gold. For Michael Bublé, the victory is a testament to his ability to spot and nurture raw talent. Team Bublé has done it again, and the music world is all the better for it. Congratulations, Adam and Michael—here’s to a future filled with music, inspiration, and more unforgettable moments!
