This was the first season that did not end with an artist from Adam or Blake's teams winning the competition.
The two-hour finale was heavy on musical performances. Each of the finalists teamed up with an established act. Josh joined Robin Thicke on his new song, "Get Her Back," an ode to his estranged wife, actress Paula Patton. Jake teamed up with Alabama for their hit, "Mountain Music." And Ed Sheeran, a former Voice adviser, welcomed Christina onto the stage for “All of the Stars.”
Josh, Jake and Christina also presented a "bring back" performance, in which they invited previously-eliminated contestants to return to the stage.
Josh joined forces with T.J. Wilkins, Stevie Joe and Sisaundra Lewis for "Am I Wrong," by Nico & Vinz. Jake enlisted Kat Perkins, Kristen Merlin, Audra McLaughlin, Ryan Whyte Maloney and Morgan Wallen for Kenny Chesney's "Summertime." And Christina brought back Tess Boyer, Bria Kelly and Jake Barker for a rendition of Lorde's "Team."
