THE WAY OF THIS SHOW, YOU GOT BETTER AND BETTER AND BETTER.
AND NOW YOU'RE, LIKE, TO THE POINT OF THE SHOW WHERE, WHAT IS
YOUR HEART FEELING LIKE NOW KNOWING THAT YOU HAD 11 SHOTS TO

YOU KNOW, I TRIED OUT FOR "THE VOICE" 11 TIMES BEFORE THIS.
WHEN I FIRST SAW THE STAGE, I FELT A LITTLE --
>> COME ON, AIN'T NOTHING WRONG WITH THAT.
>> I CHOKED UP A LITTLE BIT. * OOH, I WANT TO BE THERE IN MY
CITY * >> THAT WAS THE FIRST TURN.

ME * >> WOW, ROSS.
YOU COULD EASILY WIN THIS SHOW, DUDE.
>> THE WAY YOU TAKE OTHER PEOPLE'S SONGS AND MAKE THEM
YOUR SONGS, YOU GIVE IT JOY. YOU GIVE IT MORE LIFE.
THE THING I LOVE ABOUT YOUR VOICE, MAN, IS THE WAY YOU
CONTROL IT. YOU CAN GROWL.
THEN AT CERTAIN TIMES WHEN YOU SINGING AND YOU GETTING SO DEEP
YOU FORGET YOU'RE IN FRONT OF PEOPLE.

HERE. DUDE, I CAN'T EVEN SPEAK AFTER
THAT. >> RALPH, YOU'RE "THE VOICE,"

REMAINING TO BE WHO YOU ARE. >> TO BE AS FAR AS I AM NOW, I'M
BLESSED. SO, I'M EXCITED TO SHOW YOU AND
AMERICA WHAT ELSE I CAN DO. >> I KNOW YOU CAN SHOW ME.
>> IN ORDER FOR RALPH TO TAKE HOME THIS WIN, "I WANT TO KNOW
WHAT LOVE IS" HAS TO BE THE BIGGEST, STRONGEST PROJECTION OF
VOCALS, SHOWMANSHIP, EYE CONTACT.
BECAUSE WHEN YOU LOOK INTO HIS EYES, HOW COULD YOU NOT SEE "THE
VOICE"? >> THE PERSON FEEL LIKE YOU WAS
TRYING TO FIGURE OUT FAST/SLOW. WHEN YOU GOT TO THAT SECOND
VERSE, YOU'RE LIKE THAT. LOCK IN LIKE THAT.
>> GOT YOU, GOT YOU. >> I KNOW HOW IT FEELS.
YOU'RE GOING TO HAVE YOUR -- TOGETHER, AS A MATTER OF FACT
YOUR LOOK TOGETHER. OPEN THAT UP.
TAKE A LOOK. >> OH, MY GOSH.
>> TEAM SNOOP DOGG. I'M GOING TO PUT THAT ON FOR
SURE. >> YOU WEAR THAT THE NIGHT OF.
>> BEING ONE PERFORMANCE AWAY FROM WINNING "THE VOICE" IS
ABSOLUTELY RIDICULOUS. I'VE BEEN TOLD NO SO MANY TIMES,
BUT I'VE NEVER GIVEN UP. I WILL DEFINITELY BE SINGING
THIS FOR MY FIANCE. IT'S TIME TO WIN THIS THING.

>>> WELCOME BACK TO OUR LIVE FINALE.
TONIGHT YOU'RE PICKING THE SEASON 28 WINNER OF "THE VOICE."
WE'VE GOT BACK-TO-BACK PERFORMANCES.
WE'RE GOING TO BEGIN WITH TEAM REBA'S AUBREY NICOLE, WHO CAN'T
REMEMBER A TIME WHEN MUSIC WASN'T PART OF HER LIFE.
>> DEAR MUSIC, FROM THE VERY BEGINNING, YOU WERE THE SOUND IN
MY HOME. FROM MY MOTHER SINGING ME TO
SLEEP, FAMILY'S GUITAR PICKING AND SING ALONGS, YOU WERE THE
BACKDROP OF EVERY CHILDHOOD MEMORY, THE COMFORT THAT WRAPPED
AROUND ME WHEN THE WORLD FELT TOO BIG, AND THE SPARK THAT LIT
SOMETHING INSIDE ME LONG BEFORE I HAD THE WORDS TO DESCRIBE IT.
YOU OPENED DOORS I NEVER BELIEVED I'D STAND IN FRONT OF,
AND THE BIGGEST SO FAR BEING "THE VOICE" AND INTRODUCING ME
TO REBA. I CAN'T BELIEVE THE WOMAN WHOSE
SONGS I SANG IN COLLEGE AND ADMIRED ON TV AND RADIO THINKS
THAT I HAVE A VOICE THAT'S SPECIAL ENOUGH TO GO TO THE
FINALE AS HER FINALIST. THIS JOURNEY HAS CHANGED ME.
I'VE MET PEOPLE WHO LOVE YOU AS SERIOUSLY AS I DO, WHO HAVE NOW
BECOME FRIENDS TURNED TO FAMILY, REMINDING ME OF YOUR ABILITY TO
HOLD SO MANY PEOPLE TOGETHER. YOU UNITE US.
THAT'S WHY EVEN THOUGH IT BREAKS MY HEART TO BE SO FAR FROM HOME
DURING THE HOLIDAYS, I KNOW THAT EVERY TIME I SING, I BRING A
PART OF MY FAMILY WITH ME. SO, THANK YOU, MUSIC.
MY DEAREST FRIEND AND MY CALLING.
GOD GAVE ME YOU TO GIVE PURPOSE TO MY LIFE.
YOU LED ME ALL THE WAY HERE, AND NOW HERE I AM AT THE FINALE
READY FOR WHATEVER COMES NEXT. WITH LOVE, AUBREY NICOLE.

I SEE YOU LOOK EXCITED, COACH
REBA. WHAT DID YOU THINK OF AUBREY'S
PERFORMANCE? >> I'VE LOVED THAT SONG FOREVER.
VICKY LAWRENCE HAD A NUMBER ONE RECORD ON IT.
I LOVED IT, SO I RECORDED IT. AND LOOK WHAT YOU'RE DOING WITH
IT. CONGRATULATIONS, GIRL.
YOU KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE BALL PARK.
>> IF YOU WANT AUBREY TO WIN "THE VOICE," YOU CAN VOTE ON THE
VOICE OFFICIAL APP AND NBC.COM. ONCE AGAIN, GIVE IT UP FOR
AUBREY NICOLE. ALL RIGHT.
WE'VE GOT TWO GREAT PERFORMANCES HERE.
I'LL CONTINUE RIGHT AWAY WITH OUR NEXT ONE FROM TEAM NIALL,
DEK OF HEARTS, OF COURSE THE COUNTRY TRIO WHO FOUND EACH
OTHER BECAUSE OF THEIR MUTUAL LOVE OF ONE VERY IMPORTANT
THING.
>> I'LL START.
DEAR MUSIC, BEFORE I HAD WORDS, I HAD YOU.
YOU'VE BEEN A PART OF MY LIFE SINCE I WAS IN THE CRIB.
BEFORE I WENT DOWN FOR A NAP, I WOULD HUM SCALES AND YOU'D CARRY
ME OFF TO SLEEP. YOU HELPED ME CONNECT WITH
PEOPLE WHO UNDERSTOOD ME. AND WHEN IT WAS TIME TO
GRADUATE, YOU AND MY FAMILY GAVE ME THE CONFIDENCE TO MOVE TO
NASHVILLE, WHERE YOU LED ME TO MY OTHER HALVES, KOLLIN AND
EMILY, WHO I'M FOREVER GRATEFUL. >> DEAR MUSIC, YOU'VE ALWAYS
BEEN THERE. AS I GREW, YOU STAYED
CONSISTENT, HELPING ME DISCOVER WHO I TRULY AM.
YOU LED ME TO NASHVILLE AND THEN TO A LIFE I NEVER IMAGINED,
FULL-TIME MUSIC, "THE VOICE," AND THE COURAGE TO CHASE WHAT'S
SO IMPOSSIBLE. MOST BEAUTIFULLY, YOU BROUGHT ME
KOLLIN AND DYLAN. I THANK GOD FOR THE GIFT YOU
PLACED IN MY LIFE THROUGH YOU. >> DEAR MUSIC, MY LOVE FOR YOU
STARTED WITH MY GRANDMA BAILEY, WHO HAD ME HUMMING MELLYS AND
STRUMMING A FLY SWATTER BEFORE I WAS OLD ENOUGH TO CARRY --
GIVING ME BEST MEMORIES AND CLOSEST FRIENDS.
-- ONE OF THE GREATEST BLESSINGS I COULD ASK FOR.
>> THIS DOESN'T FEEL REAL. >> IT'S CRAZY.
WE STARTED AND THE WORDS -- IT'S LIKE, NOW YOU'RE GOING TO "THE
VOICE." I LOVE YOU GUYS.
>> I LOVE YOU. >> I'M SO PROUD OF YOU.
>> LET'S GO DO THIS THING. >> LET'S DO IT.

PERFORMANCE BY RALPH AND HIS LETTER TO A POWERFUL FORCE THAT
HAS ALWAYS BEEN THERE FOR HIM. >> DEAR MUSIC, YOU HAVE BEEN
WITH ME FROM THE BEGINNING, FROM THE CALL OF MY FIRST WORDS, TO
THE SOUND OF MY FIRST STEPS. WHEN MY SCHOOL MADE ME DOUBT
MYSELF, YOU GAVE ME SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF.
EVERY NOTE I SANG REMINDED ME I HAD A GIFT, SOMETHING NO GRADE
COULD MEASURE, SOMETHING NO TEST COULD DEFINE.
YOU TAUGHT ME TO CARRY PRIDE IN MY VOICE AND MYSELF.
I WILL NEVER FORGET MY VERY FIRST "VOICE" CASTING CALL, AND
THERE WAS A LOT OF THEM. I WALKED IN READY TO WIN.
I WALKED OUT IN NOTHING BUT SILENCE.
YOU TAUGHT ME THAT THROUGH REJECTION AND DISAPPOINTMENT
COMES GROWTH. IN THE LAST SIX MONTHS, I NOT
ONLY GAINED A FIANCE, BUT I GOT A FOUR-CHAIR TURN, WHICH IS
BASICALLY FIVE YESES. >> WILL YOU MARRY ME?
>> NOW I HAVE A CHANCE TO WIN AND ACHIEVE MY DREAM.
MY COACH, SNOOP DOGG, HAS TRULY BECOME FAMILY.
WORKING WITH HIM HAS BEEN SUCH A BLESSING.
HE TAUGHT ME TO LAY BACK ON THE BEAT AND LIVE IN THE MOMENT.
THAT TEACHING REALLY HELPED PAVE THE WAY FOR ME TO GO ALL THE WAY
TO THE FINALE. THANK YOU, MUSIC, FOR ALL THAT
YOU HAVE DONE AND FOR ALL THAT YOU WILL DO.
YOURS TRULY, RALPH EDWARDS. >> BEAUTIFUL LETTER THERE,
RALPH. WE'VE GOT JUST A SECOND HERE

I JUST WANT TO MENTION, TOMORROW NIGHT OBVIOUSLY IS THE FIRST
PERFORMANCE PART OF OUR FINALE. WE'LL HAVE A WINNER TOMORROW
NIGHT. WE'RE CRUNCHING THE NUMBERS
LOOKING AT SOME OF THE STATS ABOUT POTENTIALLY WHAT COULD
HAPPEN TOMORROW NIGHT AS WE CROWN OUR SEASON 28 WINNER.
THIS COULD BE, MICHAEL BUBLE, YOUR THIRD VICTORY IN A ROW
TOMORROW NIGHT. IT COULD HAPPEN.
>> I -- I CAN'T BELIEVE -- BEING PART OF THIS FAMILY, THERE'S NO
WAY TO LOSE. I'M NOT JUST SAYING THAT.
THIS IS THE GREATEST PLEASURE. >> YOU SEEM VERY EMOTIONAL
TONIGHT. >> I AM.
I LOVE YOU GUYS. I REALLY DO.
THIS HAS BEEN THE GREATEST GIG OF MY LIFE.
I DON'T JUST LOVE YOU. I LOVE THE ARTISTS, ALL OF THEM.
SO, THERE WILL ONLY BE WINNERS. THERE ARE ONLY WINNERS HERE.

SONG. I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO THINK RIGHT

I APPLIED TO "THE VOICE" AND THE FLAME TURNED TO FIRE, AND I'VE
BEEN RUNNING WITH IT EVER SINCE. >> WATCHING YOU GROW OVER THE
PAST FEW MONTHS HAS BEEN NUTS. YOU'RE SO GOOD THAT SOMETIMES
YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH IT.
THE ONE THAT REALLY STANDS OUT TO ME IS "WHEN THE PARTY'S
OVER." *
>> OH, WOW. >> YOU GET IT EVERY NOW AND THEN
IN THE SHOW WHERE THE ROOM GOES SILENT AND YOU CAN NEARLY HEAR
THE LIGHTS BUZZING. AND YOU DON'T KNOW WHETHER TO
CLAP, LAUGH, CRY. >> WHEN YOU WAS SINGING, I WAS
STUCK LIKE A DUMP TRUCK. I COULDN'T MOVE.
YOU SOUND LIKE YOU COULD WIN "THE VOICE."
>> THE WHOLE WORLD OF SOCIAL MEDIA WAS GOING UP.
>> IT WAS A GREAT TIME, MAN. >> YOUR BIGGEST ABILITY, APART
FROM YOUR SINGING, IS TO REALLY SELL THE SONG.
THAT'S WHAT HAS YOU IN THE FINALE.
IT'S SUCH AN EXCITING TIME TO BE AIDEN ROSS.
* THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL * >> THE WINNER TAKES IT ALL.
HOW ARE YOU FEELING? >> EXCITED TO SHOW THE WORLD
THIS DIFFERENT VERSION. >> IT'S AN EPIC VERSION OF IT.
>> IT IS PRETTY EPIC. IT'S VERY CINEMATIC.
IT'S VERY DRAMATIC. >> THAT'S WHAT WE WANT.

FINALE. HE IS A BIG BROTHER FIGURE.
I THINK THE CONNECTION, THE FRIENDSHIP, THAT WE HAVE HAS
GIVEN ME SO MUCH CONFIDENCE. I WANT TO WIN THIS THING SO
FREAKING BAD. ME AND NIALL, BABY.
>> AIDEN IS ONE OF THOSE GUYS THAT CAN DO IT ALL.
HE'S ONE OF THE MOST NATURALLY GIFTED SINGERS I THINK I'VE
HEARD IN A VERY, VERY LONG TIME. WHEN AIDEN JUST PERFORMED, MY
WHOLE CONTACT LIST GOES NUTS. THE COUNTRY'S BEHIND YOU.
I'M BEHIND YOU. GO OUT AND JUST ENJOY IT.
