'The Voice' Winner 2013: Danielle Bradbery
Last night Danielle Bradbery was named the winner on NBC's hit singing competition show "The Voice."
Tuesday night saw the finals of the singing competition and competing against Bradbery were her worthy advisories Michelle Chamuel and the Swon Brother Colton and Zach. But Bradbery prevailed, winning the audience vote.
At just 16 years old, Bradbery is the youngest winner in the history of "The Voice." She was much younger than the other finalists last night. Chamuel is 10 years her senior at 26. Of the Swon brothers Colton is 24 and Zach was the oldest contestant at 27. Chamuel took second place, and the Swon Brothers took third.
Bradbery is a country singer from Cypress, Texas. Last night's victory was almost too good to be true for the young singer.
"Me and Michelle were holding onto each other, shaking," she said of the vote announcements, according to USA today. "When I heard my name, I could not believe it. It's going to take a while to sink in, but I'm just embracing the moment while it's here."
Throughout the fourth season of the show, Danielle Bradbery was part of Team Blake, meaning she was coached and mentored by Oklahoma country music superstar Blake Shelton. But that doesn't mean she wasn't well liked by other coaches. Adam Levine in particular had a high opinion of the young Bradbery.
"The crazy thing about your voice is it's just so unbelievably perfect and powerful. It's one of the better voices I think I've ever heard live. ... And I'm just gonna go ahead and say, I think Danielle's [the] winner of this thing," Levine predicted before last night's episode.
