‘The Voice’ season 27 winner revealed — and one coach continues his winning streak

This is The Voice for season 27, as voted on by viewers: blues rocker Adam David, from Team Michael Bublé.

When his name was announced, the 34-year-old from Fort Lauderdale, Fla., looked genuinely stunned. After all, he almost wasn’t even there, but he won the Instant Save during the live semifinals.

With the exception of Bublé, each of the celebrity coaches — also including Kelsea Ballerini, John Legend, and Adam Levine — had just one contestant left from their teams in the finals. They were Team Kelsea’s country crooner Jaelen Johnston, who placed second; Team Legend’s soulful rocker Renzo, who placed third; and Team Adam’s genre-defying Lucia Flores-Wiseman, who won fourth.

The “Home” singer had two contestants, David and pop singer Jadyn Cree. Bublé won last season in his first outing as a coach, so with David’s win, the Canadian coach’s streak continues.

Cree, the daughter of The Voice alum Bryan Olsen, who finished third on the show when he represented Team Legend in the finals back in 2024, placed fifth. She had said Monday that her dad very much wanted her to beat him, but that wasn’t to be.

The revelation ended a star-studded, two-hour concert that featured coaches performing with their contestants. They had trimmed their initial teams of super talented stars-in-the-making from 12 to one (or two) over the past three months. There was a time when Ballerini even “felt queasy.”

Other celebrated performers, including coaches from past seasons or international versions of the show, took the stage, too. They included Alicia Keys and Amanda Reid, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper, Joe Jonas, Foreigner, James Bay and Sheryl Crow (a mega mentor this season), and Bryce Leatherwood, who won the show in 2022.

Bublé will return to the show again next season, where he will sit alongside veteran coaches Niall Horan, Reba McEntire, and Snoop Dogg. The Voice season 28 premieres this fall.

In the meantime, Entertainment Weekly caught up with David after his win and found out what the experience — and the win — meant to him.

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: What is the first thing you did after hearing the good news? 

ADAM DAVID: Everyone rushed the stage, and I was just hugging every single person, every contestant. It could have easily been anybody, and everyone’s so amazing, and it was a real surreal moment.

Do you remember exactly when you realized this was possible?

I hoped and I prayed. I don’t think I gave myself the opportunity to believe that it wasn’t going to happen, but I was ready. Even when I got called to do my Instant Save, I felt like — going up against Olivia, Bryson, and Iris, I really felt like I was going home. They’re so amazing and to have made it through that was a victory. And then to have made it to the end and then to top three and then to top two, is a rush.

Which of your performances do you think best encompasses you as an artist? 

I think that the Allen Stone song [“Unaware”] that I did and “Hard Fought Hallelujah” felt really authentic to me. I loved the Joe Cocker, “You Are So Beautiful.” I love that song. But I think those two are probably the kind of music that I tend to put out.

What will you miss most about your time on The Voice? 

I’m going to miss my friends. I’m going to miss the other contestants. It’s kind of like a shared trauma going through something like this. We all got really close. We all got really, really close, and it’s a really special thing to go through this with people, and I think I’ve made some friends for life. I’m going to have to make a lot of effort to stay connected with them.

What does this win mean to you? 

I want to talk about my recovery for just a second, because this win isn’t just for me, it’s for the people that I got clean with. It’s for all the people that I attend meetings with. It’s for anybody that’s struggling. They say when you get clean, you can have a life beyond your wildest dreams. And I’m a testament to that right now. And I wouldn’t be here if I didn’t make that decision a little over six years ago, and I want people to know that, because anyone that’s struggling to get a day clean, I want them to know that it’s possible and just one day at a time.
