Carter Rubin, the 15-year-old from New York was crowned the winner of Season 19 of 'The Voice' which also was Gwen Stefani’s very first win as a coach. Apart from the latest season, the renowned country singer took over the big red chair in Seasons 7, 9, 12 and 17 but always lost to other judges. Carter Rubin won against Jim Ranger, Desz, John Holiday and Ian Flanigan and became the youngest male to win 'The Voice'.

Jim Ranger from Team Blake stood in the second position while Ian Flanigan from the same team secured the third spot. Desz from Team Kelly grabbed the fourth spot while John Holiday from John Legend’s team came last. A lot of social media users felt disappointed with the result as they felt Jim Ranger had proved his mettle on the singing reality show and was a better choice as the winner.

Speaking on the same lines, one user tweeted, “I’m disappointed in #TheVoice finale. Song selection (with the exception of Jim Ranger) did none of these amazing singers any favors. They are all way better than these weak, boring songs.” Another expressed, “Jim Ranger should’ve won.”

One asserted, “Jim Ranger and Desz somebody sign them #TheVoice” while another added, “Why do I even watch @NBCTheVoice Ya’ll screwed up again. Dez and John were heads and tails better than the Top 3 and I like Jim Ranger. But damn, this is awful.” An individual slammed Rubin Carter and said, “@NBCTheVoice@carterjrubin and @gwenstefani That's a joke he wasn't the best singer its fixed.” A user shared, “Jim ranger was the best!”
