The Voice Season 27 Finale Reveals Winner Amid Pre-Taped Performance Disclosures

The Voice Season 27 concluded with a star-studded two-hour live finale, crowning Adam David as the winner. However, it was revealed that several high-profile performances, including those by Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, Chance the Rapper, and Joe Jonas, were pre-recorded and not live as promoted, with live reactions edited to maintain the illusion of a fully live show. The finale featured performances from the final five contestants alongside appearances by past coaches and guest stars, including a medley by Foreigner and duets involving coaches like John Legend and Kelsea Ballerini. Blake Shelton, who had previously stepped away from the show to focus on family, made a surprise guest appearance performing his single "Texas," which delighted fans despite being pre-recorded. The show is available for streaming on Peacock, allowing viewers to catch up on the entire season and finale. The revelation of prerecorded segments sparked mixed reactions among fans regarding the authenticity of the live event.
