Adam Levine, Niall Horan and more.
As a matter of fact,
as we go to break right here,
take a look at a throwback clip.
This goes back to Season 11's
coach performance of "Dream On."
It was shot, actually, right here
on the Universal back lot.

Welcome back. Here's something exciting.
This season's winner
plus your finalists and second place
will each win a Universal theme park
vacation of their choice
of Hollywood here or Orlando.
At Universal Studios Hollywood,
level up your play at Super Nintendo World
or at Universal Orlando Resort,
experience Illumination's Minion Land,
including Villain-Con Minion Blast.
Two awesome places.
By the way, two weeks ago,
we announced a big vacation getaway.
Congratulations to that
lucky "Voice" fan as well.
Now, our country singer from Louisiana
might have... had so much talent...
or might have so much talent...
that it takes
two superstar coaches to hone her skills.
Well, tonight,
they will all take the stage together.
Here's more.
It's always been Dan + Shay,
but now we've got Dan, Shay, Karen.
-Is it Karen, Dan + Shay?
-KDub.
-KDub.
-KDub.
-I love it.
-Dan, Shay and KDub.
I'm so relaxed now with you.
When I first came in, I was nervous.
I was like, "Oh, my God."
I think it's our height,
mainly Shay's height.
I-I have an intimidating character.
-Yes, very much.
-And I get told that a lot, you know?
I love working with you guys.
Always saying wild things.
Vote Team Dan + Shay.
Vote, vote, vote, vote, vote.
[both] Vote.
[scats]
You are always making me laugh.
-You look awesome.
-I'm happy to see you.
I almost wore that jacket today.
I'm glad I didn't.
I saw him trying it on.
It's been so inspiring working with you,
hearing all your stories.
You have grinded it out.
You spent your 10,000 hours.
-See what I did?
-That was nice.
Plugging our own song. Check it out
everywhere you listen to music.
Your voice is unbelievable.
Don't question whether or not you deserve
to be here, 'cause you're phenomenal.
Being in Nashville, I think there's
that certain comfort to being around you.
It's nice to have a country artist
and get to work on country songs
here in LA, know what I mean?
-We feel like a fish out of water.
-Totally.
But getting to work on these country songs
feels like a bit of home.
One of the things
that has been the most exciting
about this journey
is getting to sing with you.
We're going to be performing
"You Look Good" by Lady A.
We were talking about doing
a fun, up-tempo song.
I think that was important,
'cause I wanna get out there
and celebrate such a great run
that we've had.
They'll feel that.
If we're having fun, they're having fun.
Y'all ready?
-Let's do it.
-Let's make some noise.
-Come on.
-After you.
Are y'all ready?

Welcome back. Our season 25 finale now.
There's always this sort of
cutthroat rivalry between our coaches,
but this season, two coaches in particular
have been facing off
in the most unusual ways.
♪ 'Cause we're ordinary people ♪
This season, Chance and I had
a funny little moment.
Best John Legend impersonation. Let's go.
♪ We're just ordinary people ♪
Chance knows exactly what he did.
I just sang that John Legend song.
She picked me!
Two can play that game.
Honestly, that's my philosophy.
I always say it's not about who we coach.
It's about how we coach.
My philosophy is,
it's not about who we coach.
-It's about how we coach.
-Oh, wow.
-[Shay] That's profound.
-I see what you're doing.
You don't want to play this game, John.
Hey, John. What you doing?
Just over here, working on my craft.
Do you play?
-Yeah. I mean, I dabble.
-[chuckles]
All right, come on. Play a little
whatever you're going to play.
Whoa.
What the hell, man?
It really just takes practice.
So keep doing what you're doing.
-Hey, Chance.
-Hey, John.
Hold on, man. What's on your hat?
It's a 4. It's, like, my signature.
Bro, you keep trying to one-up me.
You one-up me times infinity.
Look, bro, there's only one way
to end this.
Name it.
Dance battle.
Oh, it's on.
[John] Mmm.
So you copied my style?
No, I one-upped your style.
Let's do this.
[chuckles]
[John] Okay. All right.
-Whoo!
-Nah, man.
-Come on.
-Nah, man.
-Nah.
-Hey!
I ain't messing around no more.
[John] Buckle up.
I underestimated John Legend.
[John] Whoo!
Yeah! [chuckles]
He doesn't get tired.
[John] Whoo!
He's got so much energy.
[John] Oh!
He doesn't care about
getting dirty at all.
[John chuckles]
How old is he?
Guess it's a tie.
Yeah. You got some nice moves, man.
Thanks, man.
Hey, I still think my version
of "Ordinary People" is better.
No way.
-♪ We're just ord... ♪
-[Chance] ♪ We're just ord... ♪
You gotta go lower.
♪ We're just ordinary... ♪
[John] Uh-huh.

Everybody good?
This is what we like to see.
-Get away.
-Why?
-He's offering an olive branch.
-No, no, no.
We're not friends. We're not...
No. We're not friends.
To be continued.
I can't leave you hanging.
-Thank you, Carson.
-My goodness.
-Friends out.
-Wow.
Well, you see the rivalry continues.
All right. To be continued there.
The dance-off wasn't enough, John?
-How dare you?
-[John sighs]
What a bad sport you are.
-[John chuckles]
-She is a Grammy-winning singer-songwriter
whose latest single went viral on TikTok
and reached number one
on the R & B hip-hop charts.

[Daly] Well, that is Muni Long,
ladies and gentlemen.
Thank you for being here.
What a great story, man.
TikTok has blown that song up.
It's all happening for Muni Long.
There's a remix to that now
that's, uh, available,
featuring Mariah Carey,

We're so glad to have had Muni Long here.

We're gonna continue with a feel-good song
by the Nebraska pop rocker and his coach.
This artist knew that
in order to become a legend,
he had to pair up with the legend.
Take a look.
[sighs] What don't I love about John?
You're a surgeon.
You get in the weeds on things.
But then also the big picture.
That's been, for me, just awesome.
You are already starting with such a bevy
of experience and time on stage,
so coaching you is very easy.
That's the nicest thing
you've ever said to me.
-You smell good today.
-Oh, thank you.
I'm sure every day, but...
-Well, you know.
-...I notice a bit more now.
I have a cologne called Legend...
-[chuckles]
-...and it's not named after me.
[both chuckle]
How do I compare to Keith Urban's scent?
You gave me the playoff pass,
so I never got to smell Keith Urban.
-You didn't get to hang out with Keith.
-But I heard about it.
There are some people that hate this hair.
It's kind of funny.
I have a feeling they're gonna love you.
One guy on the Internet said,
"He looks like Sloth from 'Goonies,'
but in a good way."
I'm like, "In a good way?"
[chuckles]
Rock stars, you know,
you have to have a look, you know,
and you're not supposed
to look like everybody else.
-Exactly.
-I am not going to try Bryan's haircut.
-The truth: He doesn't like the hair.
-It's not for everyone.
I feel like he looks so good with it,
and I am not as confident that
I would look so good with it.
At my age,
I'm happy to still have some hair.
I'm only shaving these
'cause they're getting gray.
We're gonna do "Feelin' Good"
by Joe Bonamassa.
Yeah, that's gonna be dope.
We're gonna do a different version.
It's kind of got a different flair to it,
a little rock edge to it.
We're gonna put together
a great performance.
America's gonna love it.
-I'm so excited for us to sing together.
-This is gonna be so fun.

[Daly] Give it up for the Black Keys,
everybody!
Thank you to Dan and Patrick
and the guys for being here.
Appreciate it very much.
Their new record is fantastic.
I think it's their 12th studio album.
It's called Ohio Players.
It's out now,
so be sure and check that out.
Ohio, the great state Ohio,
John Legend wanted me to say.
All right, now, Reba and Josh
both have a respect
for their roots, faith,
and inspiring music,
but they also have a special bond
that makes them
the perfect fit for each other.
Take a look.
[Reba] You look totally different
without a hat.
I've seen you three ways.
When you wear the cap,
you're a little boy.
And when you wear the hat, you're serious.
And when you don't wear anything,
you're a free spirit.
Maybe it's time to make a statement
and put the hat down
and be more vulnerable.
Especially when you say,
"Look like a boy."
That does something to
a Southern man's pride, I ain't gonna lie,
so I'll never wear a hat again.
[both laugh]
Everything in life is
either opportunity or opposition.
-It's up to us to decide.
-Boy, you ought to write a book.
Well, I preach on
the weekends at home, so...
I've been after this thing for 20 years.
I give you a ton of the credit
for my growth.
Of course, the warm-ups and the direction,
but more than anything
that you've said to me,
I think it really has to do with
the way you've made me feel.
If you're nervous,
they're gonna be nervous.
But if you're confident in selling it,
they're gonna take it.
Okay.
You're so open and willing to speak to me
not only about our roots
and our love of country music,
but especially about the Lord
and our faith.
-And that's a bond unlike any other.
-It is.
-I think you've grown inside.
-Yes, ma'am.
Yeah. I have, uh, you to thank.
I cannot think
of anyone else in this world
that I would rather sing with
than the queen of country.
And that we're going to get to sing
Randy Houser's song "Back to God."
I love your style.
I love the way you sing.
I love your heart. So I can't wait.
-You ready to go do this song?
-I was born ready.
-I'm dying to. Come on.
-Boots on and everything.
-[Reba] Come on, come on. [chuckles]

[Daly] Blowin' the roof off our finale.
Give it up for the one and only
Lainey Wilson!
Come on down here, Lainey.
Entertainer of the Year indeed.
Easy to see why.
Come on down here.
Thank you, brother.
-You're incredible.
-Thank y'all.
That is so fun.
-Whoo! I'm out of breath.
-That was incredible.
I love the opening line
about a bus before I got a house.
-That's great.
-That's what dreams will make you do.
It's great to have you here. Thank you.
I wanna turn over to our queen of country,
Miss Reba, to say a few words.
-Reba?
-Lainey, I am so proud of you.
-You did a wonderful job.
-Ah.
And I have heard that I've inspired you,
and what you've done so far,
and I am thrilled to death
if I had anything to do with your career,
'cause you are blowing it up.
[audience applauds]
Just when I think
you can't get any cooler.
[laughs]
You are so sweet.
I was so proud of you
at the ACMs the other night.
And I couldn't be more proud to be the one
that helps you continue to bridge the gap
between our generations.
Keep them all going.
-I'd like to be the person...
-Oh, my.
...to invite you to be a member,
official member, of the Grand Ole Opry.
[audience cheers]
[Reba] How about that?
[chuckles, cries]
Holy moly!
[Reba chuckles]
[Daly] Well, happy belated birthday,
Lainey. [chuckles]
That's a birthday gift right there.
Thank you so much.
We know this is the highest honor
to get as a country artist,
so we want to say congratulations
on behalf of all of us at "The Voice."
We're honored to be here tonight
to be a part of this invitation
for you to join the Opry from, uh, Reba.
Anything you'd like to say?
Well, first of all, um...
[inhales sharply]
...my family is over here tonight.
And, uh, I will say they took me
to Nashville when I was nine years old,
and we went to the Grand Ole Opry,
and we saw Bill Anderson and Crystal Gayle
and Little Jimmy Dickens,
and I knew that I wanted to play there.
I wanted to do it.
And it is crazy that you
are asking me to be a member,
because I look up to you so much.
I'm not talking about just musically,
but the way that you carry yourself
and your work ethic.
Um. I just... You inspire me every day.
[audience cheers]
-Love you.
-Love you.
Lainey, congratulations.
Reba, thank you so much.
Ladies and gentlemen,
the one and only Lainey Wilson,
the newest invitee of the Grand Ole Opry.
And thank you for being here, Lainey.
We love you. Keep up the great work.
Coming up, Gina Miles, Jelly Roll,
plus movie-now-music-star Kate Hudson
sings her new single, "Glorious."
Asher joins the queen of country
for a Patti LaBelle classic.
And then the winner of "The Voice"
will be revealed here live on NBC.
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
We're still all buzzing over that
cool moment with Lainey Wilson and Reba.
Again, congrats to her.
Our season 25 finale continues.
She's a beloved, critically acclaimed
Golden Globe winner.
Also an Academy Award-nominated actress.
Well, now, she can add music star
to that impressive bio,
with the title track
to her debut album, Glorious.
Give it up for Kate Hudson.

[Daly] That's our friend Kate Hudson.
Kate, thanks for being here tonight.
Now it's time to see what happens
when our Alabama powerhouse
joins the queen of country
to sing a big song
by the godmother of soul.
Take a look at this
show-stopping partnership.
-All right, Asher. Show us how it's done.
-All right.
[both laughing]
I'm so excited to get to sing with Asher,
because I've been sitting
in that chair listening to you.
It's like, "Oh! I want to sing with him.
Can I follow him? What am I gonna do?"
Reba, you are a superstar. [chuckles]
No, I'm really not. I'm just a twinkle.
-Oh, no, ma'am.
-Yeah. That's what my sister said.
-Really?
-Yeah.
You're the northern star
that we all look up to.
-I like his better. Alice, take that.
-[laughs]
I've actually been studying you a lot,
just watching your videos.
-Aw.
-It's amazing to watch.
And you work that leg. When you work it,
you make people in the nosebleed feel you.
-I want to do that.
-Aw. Oh, you do?
You're in rehearsal... "I don't know.
I'm just so nervous.
I don't think I can do it."
This is a big song.
-You got the notes.
-Uh...
Are you serious? You get on stages like,
"I rule this stage!"
You're definitely a show dog.
You're a show dog. You know that?
Reba, don't tell me that, honey.
And I went home and researched "show dog."
And when I say
the most beautiful dogs pulled up,
I was like, "They need my picture
up in here somewhere."
So I believe it.
-I'm a show dog 'cause Reba said.
-You are a show dog.
I should trust myself more,
huh? [chuckles]
You and I get to sing "On my Own"
by Patti LaBelle and Michael McDonald.
But I heard your version.
Sang it with my girlfriends, now with you.
-I'm so ready.
-Come on.
-Let's go, Reba. [chuckles]
-Come on.
-Here we go.
-Here we go.

We got Jelly Roll in the building.
And of course, it's the finale.
Who's the winner of season 25?
We'll let you know. Stay with us.
♪ This is "The Voice" ♪
Welcome back to our live finale.
If you're planning on spending
some quality time with the family
or just looking for fun with friends,
we've got something perfect for you.
Just in time for your summer vacation,
finally, it's "The Voice Board Game."
[chuckling]
[Daly] Do you like fun?
Yeah!
[Daly] Do you like competition?
-We do!
-We do!
[Daly] Do you like winning?
You know I love to win.
[Daly] Well, you can do all that and more
with "The Voice Board Game."
♪ It's "The Voice Board Game"
It's so exciting ♪
[Daly] It's fun for the whole family.
♪ Never had more fun
Than "The Voice" game ♪
[Daly]
The game comes with dice, playing cards,
a signature "Voice" button,
and don't forget to pick your game piece.
I'm gonna have the Reba chair.
We're gonna be the double red chair.
[Daly] Now roll the dice
and let the fun begin.
"The artist picked you as their coach.
Move your piece forward." Let's go!
-Good start for the boys.
-Come on.
"You got a playoff pass. Move ahead."
[chuckles]
[Daly] Featuring realistic
"Voice" gameplay.
"Your chair malfunctioned and won't spin.
Skip a turn."
That's weird.
"Hit the red button
to block the other team."
[Daly] Feel the thrill of victory
with full blocking action...
[exclaims] God!
-[chuckles]
-Is that really necessary, Reba?
[Daly] ...and the agony of defeat
with punishment cards.
"Go directly to 'Voice' prison"?
[sirens wailing]
"And remember, only Reba has the key"?
-"Voice" prison? What's going on here?
-I'm having the best time!
[Daly] It's the game
where the surprises never end.
"You lost your battle.
You have to spin
the wheel of disappointment"?
[Daly] With "The Voice" wheel,
the odds of winning are impossible.
-What did he just say?
-Is that Carson Daly's voice?
We get to start over. What a surprise.
"The other team owes you $100."
This game doesn't even have money.
[Daly] Use real money from your wallet!
[Dan] This can't even be legal.
You've got to be kidding me.
Uh-oh. Looks like you landed
on "The Voice" trap door.
I don't like this game.
[screaming]
"You're the queen of 'The Voice.'
Put on your crown. You won the game."
No, no, no!
-[grunts]
-[thuds]
Awkward.
[Daly] "The Voice Board Game."
It's fun for the whole family.
Or at least Team Reba.
"Voice" game created by Reba McEntire.
Trademark, Reba McEntire.
Crown sold separately
unless you are Reba McEntire.
It's good to be the queen.
[chuckles]
That's her game. All right.
Now a coach/artist duet
that we've all been waiting for
by two incredible vocalists
who both have a love
for classic soul music.
Take a look.
That's so good.
I finally delivered on
the promised cheesecake:
salty caramel with some ginger snaps.
-Chrissy did her thing.
-Did you get a chance
to share it with your family?
I did. It was hard,
'cause I wanted it all for myself.
Oh, my God.
This would be a four-chair turn,
this cheesecake.
Did you get that pan back?
I got it back.
The pan's back, in the kitchen.
I think that cheesecake
gave me the fuel that I needed.
-[exclaims] Come on!
-[John] Just what you needed...
-...to go to the finale and win "The Voice."
-Big-time.
-That's all it takes: cheesecake.
-[laughs]
Any vocal coach will tell you
dairy's not great before you sing.
-Get it out the way, and you'll be fine.
-Right. Yep.
-Now, you did some fantastic moves.
-[laughs]
-Some splitting.
-I'm still recovering.
You all right?
You've been giving all of yourself.
-All of me. [chuckles]
-All of you.
-And all of America loves all of you.
-[chuckles]
It's special for "The Voice." We don't get
a lot of artists able to do all that.
I get pains just watching him.
My groin hurts.
Having John as a coach,
it's the coolest thing for me.
You've been such an inspiration.
My whole family's like,
-"You were talking to John Legend"?
-[chuckles]
To have your insight,
your guidance and your vision...
-I appreciate that.
-Thank you.
So, we're gonna sing
"When a Man Loves a Woman."
-It's a classic.
-Big-time.
I can tell that you relate
to the lyrics of the song.
-Yeah.
-Because it takes love to remember
-to take that pan back home.
-[exclaims]
You got to take
your springform pan back home.
When a man loves a woman,
he brings his pan back home.

And how about a final shout-out
to Paul Mirkovich
and the incredible "Voice" band?
Thank you not just for tonight,
but 25 incredible seasons of music.
And also a huge shout-out
to our crew behind the scenes.
I mean, you'd be shocked.
Hundreds of people
make this show possible.
They work tirelessly day and night
to put it all out there for us.
They are the best in the business,
and we're grateful for all the folks
that you don't see behind the scenes.
We'd like to take a moment to remember
two members of "The Voice" family
that we unfortunately lost this year...
the very talented Debra Byrd
and Ernie Fields Jr.
They were essential to all the music
that you hear on this show.
They both had unrivaled careers
in music and entertainment
and contributed so much to "The Voice."
And while they are no longer with us,
they left behind
an incredible body of work,
and they will be missed
and always a huge part of our family.
[audience applauds]
Now, we have got a winner to reveal.
But also, we've got one more
big performance to go.
He's a two-time Grammy Award nominee
who's topping charts
and transcending music genres.
He just won an ACMA last week
for his collaboration with Lainey Wilson.
He's here with his new single,
"I Am Not Okay."
Give it up for Jelly Roll.

Thank you, Jelly.
All right, guys, tonight,
we celebrate 25 incredible seasons
of "The Voice."
I've been so grateful to have been a part
of all of this from the very beginning.
Throughout that time,
we've seen so many amazing artists,
Grammy-worthy performances,
and certainly talent like no other.
♪ I feel a little bit lighter
When I'm with you ♪
[Blake] The blind auditions
are just so exciting,
hearing all these great singers.
You have no idea what they look like.
That's my favorite part of "The Voice."
[John] It is wild that "The Voice"
is still going strong
after 25 seasons.
This show continues
to find amazing artists.
I'm so happy to be a part of it.
[all] Twenty-five seasons of "The Voice."
Marker.
My favorite memory has to be
that very first season.
We're not judges. You know, we're coaches.
None of us knew what we were doing,
and everybody just had fun with it.
-Why should I choose you over CeeLo?
-Because he dresses like a peacock.
[laughing]
When I first signed on to do "The Voice,"
the initial chemistry with myself,
Christina, Adam and Blake,
it felt very natural and very warm.
Now, CeeLo,
why did you put these two together?
'Cause he's a stupid idiot!

[Adam] When we all met at NBC,
sat talking to this guy.
Afterwards, I turned to my manager,
and I was like,
"Man, that dude was awesome.
Who's that guy?"
And he was like, "Blake Shelton."
[chuckles]
[Blake] It really was like
watching two brothers
try to beat each other up
on TV every week.
Yeah, I just need a small crack
of space to get a word in.
I got a small crack of space for you.

Well, happy 25th anniversary, everybody.
Thank you to our audience,
all the audience that have been here.
All of our various panels and coaches
throughout the seasons.
Uh... All of our artists,
and all of our behind-the-scenes crew.
And here's to 25 more.
So now after an incredible season,
it's time to find out who will win it all.
Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome,
center stage, your five finalists.
[cheering]
Welcome back to our finalists,
and congratulations on a great season.
And a great finale.
We'll chat quickly.
Asher...
Asher, what has Reba's...
What has Reba's trust
and friendship meant to you?
Oh, my God, it has meant the world to me.
Thank you for giving me such a safe place
to be my authentic self.
Thank you for making me believe in myself.
I promise you, I will never let you down.
[audience cheering]
[Daly] Asher, good luck to you.
Josh, Reba's been
a great support of your talent.
What would you like to say to her?
More than a support, you've been
a constant in this entire thing.
For a boy that's really far from his home,
thank you for always making me feel
like I was at home.
And I love you, and I appreciate you
from the bottom of my heart,
and I'll never forget the spiritual
connection that you and I shared.
[audience cheers, applauds]
[Daly] Josh, good luck to you.
Karen, Dan + Shay have
supported you from the beginning.
What would you like
to say to them on the finale?
[Karen] I wanna start by saying
that the reason I'm on this stage now
is because every time I step foot on
this stage, I gave my performance to God.
And that is why I'm standing up here.
Thank you for the impact
that you made on my life.
My life is better because of you two.
[Daly] Okay. Good luck to you tonight.
[audience cheering]
[Daly] Nathan, what lessons
will you take away
from being coached by John Legend?
You know what?
I can take away a spirit of gratitude,
I can take away a spirit of confidence,
I can take away a spirit of love,
and I can take away a spirit of vision.
And that's all thanks to you.
Thank you so much.
[audience cheers]
[Daly] Nathan, thank you, and good luck.
Finally, Bryan, what has John's mentorship
and this whole ride of "The Voice"
meant to you?
John, you are a next-level coach.
The way you see things,
hear things, articulate,
and the words you've spoken to me,
I'll never forget them.
And at any age, you need encouragement,
and you've given me a boost
and a power to just focus in
on what I'm called to do.
I appreciate you.
Thank you, Bryan. Good luck to you.
Good luck to you all.

Reba, what would you like to say
in this moment to Asher?
I have seen you grow.
I have seen you change, um...

but in your happiness.

a lot of fun on this show,
and your growth has been incredible also.
I know you've had fun,
and we've gotten to talk about our faith
and what we've gotten to do on the stage,
especially together tonight,
which I absolutely loved singing
with both of you.
Um...
Your gift, I am so glad that everybody's
going to hear it from now on.

went from having to fight your way
on to the finale stage
to being in the top three,
which is already an amazing feat.

And I just see you blossoming
and being the full version of yourself
that you're supposed to be,
and it makes me very proud.
