As season 23 of The Voice nears its big finale, mentors Blake Shelton, Niall Horan, Kelly Clarkson, and Chance the Rapper will be battling it out for the champion title. While this marks Horan and Chance’s debut season, Voice veteran Shelton is on his way out, bidding farewell to the show that changed the trajectory of his career ever since he came on board for the first edition in 2011.

With nine wins under his belt, Shelton goes into the finale with better odds than any of his fellow mentors, as he brings two finalists – country darling Grace West and vocal powerhouse NOIVAS. Four-time winner Clarkson is representing R&B singer D. Smooth, while Horan and Chance will be hoping to score their first win with the extraordinary Gina Miles, and the striking sister trio Sorelle, respectively.

Grace West

Grace West has had a surprising rise throughout season 23 of The Voice and has made it all the way to the final as the competition’s last-standing country singer. While her voice isn’t as thunderous as other contenders, her tone has been resonating with fans of The Voice for its clear and angelic qualities, as well as the emotionality she brings to her performances. With one of the country’s biggest names mentoring her, could West go all the way?

D.Smooth

D.Smooth aka David Mitchell truly lives up to his stage name. Kelly Clarkson’s finalist from Alabama will bring the silky smooth vocals to the finale of The Voice‘s 23rd season. Technically, D.Smooth might just be the best among his fellow finalists, with an enviable level of control and vocal agility. His stage presence is just as smooth as his singing,

Gina Miles

Niall Horan’s finalist Gina Miles has shown the biggest growth and progress of all five finalists. Despite being just 19 years old, Miles has been lauded for the maturity and emotion she brings to her performances as if she’d written the songs herself. Her tone stands out for its depth and huskiness, and her stage presence is undeniable. Could Miles be the ticket to Horan’s first-ever win?

Sorelle

Stronger as a trio, Sorelle brings something different to the table thanks to their tight, complex harmonies and exceptional arrangements. The name comes from the Italian word for sisters, “Sorelle,” which Madi, Ana and Bella say honors their Italian roots. Watching Sorelle perform is like watching an acrobat put on his most impressive tricks, but the sisters top it all off with chemistry that can only be found among family.

NOIVAS

NOIVAS has been one of the show’s frontrunners since the very first episode of the season thanks to his insane range, dexterity, and stage presence. The singer puts his experience from rival singing competition American Idol to good use every time he steps on stage. He’s commanding, engaging, and incredibly talented, but could his other Shelton teammate steal the title with her more grounded approach to performance?
