The time we see the winner of ‘The Voice’ Season 19 is finally here as we enter the last episode of the singing reality show. Starting with a recap of all the performances from the previous episode, we also saw a special Christmas performance in the final episode from all the contestants this season.

Apart from these amazing performances, the show also got a special line-up of music heavyweights namely Dan+Shay, Lauren Daigle, Keith Urban, Pink, Lewis Capaldi, Florida Georgia Line, Nelly, Jason Derulo, 24K Golden, Iann Dior, Julia Michaels, and JP Saxe.  Raising the heat, Nelly and Tyler Hubbard from Florida Georgia Line kicked off the evening with their hit single ‘Lil Bit’.  The duo set the stage on fire with their unmatched chemistry.

Though the country rappers are one of the biggest hits of the year, the Internet was quick to react to their performance with mixed reactions. One user said, “It is hilarious to me that Florida and Georgia of Florida and Georgia Line fame are still feuding about politics and only one appeared on #TheVoice tonight alongside Nelly.” Another expressed, “@NBCTheVoice @Nelly_Mo @FLAGALine I'll show you my big wheel, we can have some fun!!! This is wonderful, love it!!!”

One added, “@Nelly_Mo i just (love) ya and your music!! You were soo incredible on The Voice tonight.” A user stated, “omg that Nelly song was awful #thevoice” Another added, “i’m genuinely not sure what genre fgl and nelly’s new song is but i think we can all agree that it’s terrible #VoiceFinale #TheVoice” One shared, “Is it me or is nelly STONED out of his mind on the voice... hahahaha good for u man.”

All the top five contenders took over the stage with the cover songs and interestingly, the singers also got the opportunity to debut their original tracks on the national television as part of the Live finale performances in Episode 17. We saw Carter Rubin crooning ‘The Climb’ by Miley Cyrus along with his original track titled ‘Up From Here’ later in the evening. John Holiday opted for ‘Halo’ by Beyonce after he impressed the judges with his original track ‘Where Do We Go.’ From Team Kelly, Desz sang her original song ‘Holy’ and also covered ‘Landslide’ by Fleetwood Mac.

Ian Flanigan from Team Blake, who is one of the top contenders to win the show, sang ‘In Color’ by Jamey Johnson apart from debuting his original song called ‘Never Learn.’ Jim Ranger from the same team sang ‘With a Little Help From My Friends’ by Joe Cocker and also wrapped up the first part of the finale with the original number titled ‘Last.’ Interestingly, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton also performed their hit single ‘Happy Anywhere’ which also got thumbs up from the Internet.
