Read on to find out who was crowned the winner!
7:55 PM: The winner is Tessanne Chin! The emotional singer attempts to belt her first single, "Tumbling Down," written by One Republic's Ryan Tedder, as her mom and husband join her onstage.
7:54 PM: The finalist in third place is... Will Champlin.
7:43 PM: Lady Gaga is rocking the biggest shoulder pads we've ever seen... singing "Do What You Want." Surprise, it's a duet with Xtina! The superstars, who were supposedly feuding a few years ago, are like BFFs now. Dressed in matching head-to-toe gold, the blondes ended the song with a hug and glass of champagne. Afterward, Christina called Gaga one of the most "down to earth" women she had ever met.
7:37 PM: Tessanne gathered some of her closest friends from Season 5, James Wolpert, Preston Pohl, Olivia Henken and Grey, to sing Sam and Dave's "Hold On I'm Comin.'"
7:30 PM: The next duet... is Will and Aloe Blacc singing "Wake Me Up."
7:21 PM: Celine Dion and Ne-Yo teamed up for their duet "Incredible." While they sounded incredible, we have to say Celine's lingerie-style dress is a little distracting. She's one hot mama!
7:11 PM: Past contenders Shelbie Z, Amber Nicole, Tamara Chauniece, Stephanie Anne Johnson, Kat Robichaud and Grey brought the girl power with Kelly Clarkson's "My Life Would Suck Without You."
7:03 PM: Jacquie got a taste of the "real world," teaming up with Hayley Williams and Paramore to sing "Ain't It Fun."

6:35 PM: It's time for One Republic! The band, lead by Ryan Tedder, is rocking "The Voice" stage with "I Lived."
6:25 PM: Tessanne takes the stage with one of her idols... Celine Dion! It's a perfect pairing as they sing Dion's "Love Can Move Mountains."
6:23 PM: In honor of Sexiest Man Alive the show is offering up an Adam Levine montage eating, dancing, doing push ups and getting his make up done. "Backstage he's a beast," Blake says. "Adam can be a bit of a distraction when he walks into a room," Christina jokes.
6:15 PM: Jacquie brings back old friends Matthew Schuler, Caroline Pennell, Cole Vosbury and James Wolpert to sing Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody."
6:05 PM: The show kicked off with a reunion! Former contestants like Caroline Pennell and James Wolpert joined the top 3 for Outasight's "Tonight is the Night."
