The finale night felt more low-key than some previous finales — there weren’t many obvious “big” television moments that jumped out. That said, the Top 4 each delivered strengths in different ways: original songs, covers, and chosen duets gave voters several directions to consider. Below is a rundown of how each performer’s releases charted on iTunes and some perspective on song choices and coaching.

Katie Kadan’s original and covers also charted, and Rose Short appeared later in the chart with her original. The full snapshot included a mix of originals, covers, and duet releases.

Performance Notes and Reactions
Ricky Duran’s original material resonated strongly with listeners, giving him a prominent position on the charts. His studio-released original drew attention and demonstrated the advantage of connecting with audiences through original songwriting when it lands well.
Jake Hoot had a mixed night in terms of chart placement. While his self-penned original performed solidly, it did not dramatically outperform his covers, and one could argue that choosing too many originals in a finale can be a double-edged sword unless the song is a clear hit. Jake’s vocal strength remains a key asset, and his catalog entries showed steady fan support.
Katie Kadan’s original “All Better” charted higher than some anticipated and was one of the stronger final-night originals. Her duet with John Legend and her cover performances gave her a variety of offerings that appealed to different segments of the audience. Strong song selection by a coach can highlight an artist’s strengths, and Katie benefited from a mix that showcased both her vocal tone and emotional delivery.
Rose Short had one of the more memorable stage moments of the evening with a dramatic performance of “Border Song,” even if that particular track didn’t climb as high on the charts. Her original “Steamroller” placed respectably considering its seasonal timing and the brief window for fans to purchase or stream the track. The duet with coach Gwen Stefani did not make a significant impact on the charts, and some viewers felt the song choice and staging limited Rose’s opportunity to shine.
