America voted and The Voice season 22 winner is Bryce Leatherwood.
During Tuesday night’s two-hour finale, fans excitedly watched as the Georgia native was declared the new victor of the NBC singing competition show. The heart-pumping announcement was made after the aspiring country singer beat out fellow Voice hopefuls bodie (Team Blake), Morgan Myles (Team Camila), Omar Jose Cardona (Team Legend) and Brayden Lape (Team Blake).
For Bryce’s last time up on stage, he sang “Hillbilly Bone” alongside fellow Voice coach Blake Shelton. It was the culmination of a rollercoaster season 22, which kicked off with his memorable blind audition of “Goodbye Time” by Conway Twitty. After reigning Voice coach Blake welcomed Bryce on to his team, the up-and-coming artist continued to stand out time and time again with his soulful songs and stylish outfits. What’s more, fellow Voice coaches, Gwen Stefani, John Legend and Camila Cabello were just as impressed by him.

On the other hand, there were other Voice fans who were left feeling disappointed when bodie didn’t take home the win. “Wow! THAT was a SHOCKER BUT Bodie WILL make it without the win!” a follower commented. “BODIE! WAS! ROBBED!” someone else tweeted. “Bryce was awesome ..but Bodie, omg he should have taken the title. I’m so sad 😞,” another chimed in.
Though there can only be one Voice winner, we’re sure we haven’t heard the last of bode along with Morgan, Omar and Brayden. As fans may know, Bryce will sign a recording contract with Universal Music Group and we’ll be keeping our fingers crossed that he’ll start releasing new original music in the near future.
