The Voice Season 23: Will Blake Shelton Win His 10th and Final Season?
Did the Top 5 performances on The Voice season 23 change your prediction for the winner? After last week’s polls, many viewers expected Blake Shelton’s contestant Grace West to take the trophy. With Shelton announcing this as his final season, it felt likely producers and momentum might push toward giving him a landmark tenth win. But live television and voting dynamics often reshuffle expectations.
Grace performed twice and gave two strong, memorable showings. Her version of Patsy Cline’s “She’s Got You” stood out as particularly polished and tasteful, and she also delivered a more contemporary number earlier in the night. Despite those solid performances, Grace sang early in the broadcast—an unfortunate slot that can sometimes hurt a contestant’s recall among casual viewers during voting.
Blake’s other finalist, NOIVAS, performed later in the lineup. His Chris Stapleton cover, “Cold,” was emotionally intense though occasionally overwrought, and his take on Lenny Kravitz’s “Fly Away” drifted off-pitch in places. Earlier in the season Blake noted how Chance the Rapper had passed a promising artist to his team during the Battles; comments like that raise questions about coaching advantages, but ultimately the audience decides.
Gina Miles Ended the Night with a Stunner
Team Niall Horan’s Gina Miles closed the finale and delivered perhaps the most dramatic finish of the night. Carson Daly observed that she “peaked at the right time,” and performing last can certainly help a finalist stay fresh in voters’ minds. Gina’s soaring rendition of “Nothing Compares 2 U” captured a lot of emotion, and her earlier, softer take on Taylor Swift’s “Style” showed range and connection with the material. Closing the show gave her a visibility advantage that can be decisive in a tight race.
So does that make Gina the favorite? Not necessarily. Beyond stage presence, outcome depends on fan support, voting rules, and how viewers engage with performances across platforms.
The Voice 23 Final Performance Videos: Facebook Likes and Views
Social engagement provides an early indicator of which contestants have active, invested fanbases. On The Voice’s official Facebook posts for the finale performances, the sibling trio Sorelle—Team Chance the Rapper—garnered the most likes and views for their Lady Gaga cover, indicating strong online traction. Grace’s videos also performed very well despite her early airtime, showing she has a committed voting base. Gina earned solid numbers too, especially for her closing performance.
Here are the reported Facebook metrics for each final-night performance, listed by likes and views:
- Sorelle – “Million Reasons” (Lady Gaga) – Team Chance – 10K likes, 229.5K views
- Grace West – “She’s Got You” (Patsy Cline) – Team Blake – 7.5K likes, 136K views
- Grace West – “The Night the Lights Went Out in Georgia” – Team Blake – 6.3K likes, 100.9K views
- Gina Miles – “Nothing Compares 2 U” – Team Niall – 5.1K likes, 102.2K views
- Gina Miles – “Style” (Taylor Swift) – Team Niall – 3.4K likes, 93.7K views
- D. Smooth – “What You Won’t Do for Love” – Team Kelly – 2.7K likes, 53.8K views
- Sorelle – “Ain’t No Mountain High Enough” – Team Chance – 2.1K likes, 64.1K views
- NOIVAS – “Cold” (Chris Stapleton) – Team Blake – 1.8K likes, 51K views
- D. Smooth – “My, My, My” (Johnny Gill) – Team Kelly – 1.8K likes, 34K views
- NOIVAS – “Fly Away” (Lenny Kravitz) – Team Blake – 1.7K likes, 53K views
These numbers suggest different strengths: Sorelle shows broad online reach, Grace demonstrates strong dedicated support, and Gina benefits from a powerful closing performance. Social metrics aren’t the whole story, but they often reflect who will mobilize votes most effectively.
Producers continued the one-vote-per-email rule from the previous round, which can change strategic dynamics. With two contestants representing Blake and only one contestant for other coaches like Kelly Clarkson, Chance the Rapper, and Niall Horan, the rule could split votes in surprising ways. When fans cast a single vote, they typically vote for the performer they most want to win, rather than distributing votes among multiple team members. That concentrated support can favor contestants with the most passionate, organized fan bases.
The Voice season 23 finale airs on NBC at 9 pm ET/PT.
Final results will depend on live voting and turnout. Grace West arrives with strong social engagement and entrenched supporters; Gina Miles has the advantage of a show-closing performance and momentum; Sorelle demonstrated impressive online traction; and NOIVAS and D. Smooth each have niche followings. It all comes down to which fans show up and vote during the finale.
Favorite Top 5 Performance
Readers were invited to vote on their favorite Top 5 performance during and after the broadcast on the original site. Poll embeds have been removed from this report, but social engagement and viewer feedback indicated divided opinions across the five finalists.
Will Blake Win His Last Season on The Voice?
That remains the central question of this finale. Blake’s legacy and the quality of his artists make him a contender, but outcomes hinge on live votes, fan mobilization, and how each performance resonated with the broader viewing audience. Expect a close finish and strong competition among Grace West, Gina Miles, Sorelle, NOIVAS, and D. Smooth.
