The top 3 finalists for The Voice USA Season Five were then called on to stage for the poll results. Team Adam Levine's Will Champlin whose wife and daughter beamed with pride among the audience ranked third.
The announcement left only Lee and Tessanne vying for the title. Eventually, Carson Daly proclaimed the Jamaican beauty 'The Voice,' leaving Lee on the second spot.
The top 3 finalists reportedly received a gift from Santa in the form of a new car. Tessanne won a recording contract with Universal Music on top of the car and the title.
The big night ended with the champion performing "Tumbling Down" by Ryan Tedder.
