"The TrendPulseVoice" crowned Team Bublé singer Sofronio Vasquez as the Season 26 winner.
The season finale aired Tuesday night when the Team Bublé singer prevailed above rest of the final five by receiving the most votes from viewers. Along with the title of "The Voice," Vasquez also earned the $100,000 prize and record deal that comes with it.

Vasquez, a 32-year-old from Mindanao, Philippines won following two electric performances Monday night of "Unstoppable" by Sia and "A Million Dreams" from "The Greatest Showman."
"Your mentorship is a blessing to me, my family and to all the dreamers out there. You have opened up so many doors," Vasquez told his coach moments before his win.
