The Voice 27 Finale: Your Poll Results and Our Predictions

The Voice Season 27 reaches its grand finale tonight (May 20). The live finale begins on NBC at 9 pm ET/PT, and host Carson Daly will announce the winner at the end of the show. The champion receives a cash prize and a recording contract with Republic Records. Below we share the results of our audience polls, breakdowns of fan reactions, and our prediction for how the Top 5 may finish.

The Top 5 finalists are Jayden Cree, Lucia Flores-Wiseman, RENZO, Adam David and Jaelen Johnston. Fans have been voting throughout the day in our polls—here are those results, notes on social engagement, and an informed prediction for the winner.

The Voice 27 Finale Poll Results

Our readers cast thousands of votes in the run-up to tonight’s finale. The poll responses show a tight race at the top with no decisive front-runner. Below are the percentages from our “Who will win?” poll and the separate “Who should win?” poll, along with observations about social media engagement that help illustrate public interest.

Who WILL Win The Voice 27?

There’s no clear consensus on an outright winner. Jayden and RENZO are essentially tied for first in voter expectations, and social video views don’t tip the scale decisively toward either one. Interestingly, another contender—Adam David—drew the most online attention for a single performance, which suggests a strong finale showing could shift the outcome at the last minute.

Adam David’s rendition of “You Are So Beautiful” accumulated roughly 3.5 million views on Facebook, and his other performance, “Hard Fought Hallelujah,” added nearly 450K views. The Voice’s compressed season gives finalists limited televised exposure, so standout performances during the finale can change momentum quickly.

The third-highest Facebook engagement went to Jaelen Johnston for his Chris Stapleton cover “Cold.” Jaelen performed in a prominent slot, and despite a lyrical stumble earlier in the week, high visibility could still produce an upset in tonight’s results.

  1. Jayden Cree – Team Buble – 25.08%
  2. RENZO – Team Legend – 24.42%
  3. Lucia Flores-Wiseman – Team Adam – 21.95%
  4. Adam David – Team Buble – 17.99%
  5. Jaelen Johnston – Team Kelsea – 10.56%

When readers weigh artistry and potential, opinions shift. In our “Who should win?” poll, Lucia has a narrow lead, with Jayden and Adam close behind. Fan sentiment can differ from predictive voting—some viewers focus on technical skill and originality, others on emotional impact or artist marketability.

  1. Lucia Flores-Wiseman – Team Adam – 24.55%
  2. Jayden Cree – Team Buble – 24.15%
  3. Adam David – Team Buble – 21.76%
  4. RENZO – Team Legend – 19.36%
  5. Jaelen Johnston – Team Kelsea – 10.18%
