'The Voice' Season 20 Finale: Can Rachel Mac pull off a surprise win defeating front runner Cam Anthony?
Cam Anthony has been considered a shoo-in to win 'The Voice' for at least the last five episodes of Season 20. At this point, it even seems like Anthony doesn't particularly need the competition to establish his stardom. His coach, Blake Shelton, has even ruffled a feather or two by saying that Cam is the first superstar that could be launched off the show.
But while Cam seems like a frontrunner, could the show's youngest contestant Rachel Mac still have a surprise or two up her sleeve? Mac, 15, stunned fans when she managed to make it to the finals in spite of being pitted against a powerhouse performer like Dana Monique. This made it clear that Mac has a fan base that is growing from one episode to the next. She is also currently the only female in the top five. There seems to be quite a sizeable segment of 'The Voice' fans who like to put their voting power behind young female singers, which means that Mac could have an unexpected edge.

Mac is also winning fans for being the youngest in the competition who started out as an underdog, with just a one-chair turn from Nick Jonas at the auditions. It's not just on 'The Voice' that she didn't have the best start. Mac has shared her difficult life story of her home being robbed by her stepmother who abandoned her family, as well as the bullying she has had to endure for her quirky sense of style. With her challenging backstory, combined with a series of emotionally charged performances with songs like 'Rainbow' and 'Human', Mac seems to have managed to find a place in America's heart for more reasons than one.
With another strong performance in the finale, could Mac pull off the biggest upset of the season? One thing's for sure, Mac may not be on Team Blake on the show, but we're sure that Blake Shelton will also put his power behind her once the show comes to a conclusion, simply for the power-point presentation that she made on Blake in the fifth grade. Blake has also made it clear on the show that he thinks Mac will be the next teen pop sensation and that she's actually got the perfect coach, Nick Jonas to guide her on that journey.
To find out if Rachel Mac does indeed manage to get the votes to take her right to the top, catch the two Night Finale of 'The Voice' on Monday and Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.
