When Kelly Clarkson breaks down into tears and declares you as the best artist she has ever worked with during her long stint as a coach on 'The Voice', you have a real strong chance of winning the hit reality singing competition. In case you're wondering which lucky contestant was the recipient of such high-praises and compliments from Kelly, then it's none other than Desz. 

The 30-year-old contestant is no stranger to praises from coaches. From receiving four chair turns during the blind auditions to impressing fans with her versatile vocals, Desz has managed to make it to the top five contestants. For the finale round, she had to give two performances — an original composition by her and a cover of a song of her choice. She kicked off her finale performance by performing to her original composition called 'Holy Ground'. 

The beautiful lyrics combined with her impeccable vocal range left the coaches speechless. Blake Shelton, John Legend and Gwen Stefani declared that they saw star quality in her while calling her a complete package. When it was Kelly's turn to give Desz her feedback, the coach tried her best to fight back her tears, but eventually gave in and began crying. Kelly expressed how she needed to hear that song and praised her for her amazing persona and performance. She then went on to declare Desz as the best performer she has ever worked with on the show, before requesting the audience to vote for Desz.

Fans too were moved by Desz's beautiful performance and began rooting for her to win the show. A fan tweeted, ".@kellyclarkson has me balling my eyes out right now. What an amazing job Desz #VoiceFinale." Another said, "Praying desz becomes the first black woman to win #TheVoice." One more said, "Desz is outstanding. GOD blessed me with that original song. She can make you cry. Me too. @kellyclarkson #VoiceFinale."
