"The winner of The Voice is Bryce Leatherwood! Congratulations! You are the winner!" The Voice host Carson Daly announced at the conclusion of the finale broadcast.

Bryce, a 22-year-old student and country crooner from Woodstock, GA, who currently resides in Statesboro, GA, represented The Voice coach Blake Shelton this season.

The win for "Team Blake" marked the Blake's ninth victory as a coach in the past 22 seasons of The Voice.

"I think the biggest lesson I'm going to take away from being coached by THE Blake Shelton is be myself," Bryce said before the final results were announced.

"Be yourself and who you are," he added, "and No. 2, have fun man... This is the greatest experience of my life."

The runner-up artist was not announced; however, Bryce was named winner of The Voice instead of Bodie, a 29-year-old professor and singer from Los Angeles, CA, who currently resides in Ladera Ranch, CA, and Morgan Myles, a 35-year-old musician from Williamsport, PA who currently resides in Nashville, TN.

Bodie, another member of Blake's team, told his coach during the live broadcast, "I knew going in here I wanted to pick a coach who believed in me, and I felt so supported by you and guided by you to be my own artist. I've loved working with you, sincerely."

Morgan sang in the finale on behalf of The Voice coach Camila Cabello.

"I love you [Camila]. I feel like we're family," Morgan gushed when awaiting her fate onstage.

"I feel like we have been on the same page since Day 1 and you've empowered me. You're such a beautiful woman and you're such a beautiful soul, and I'm so glad to know you and call you a friend."

Fourth place went to John Legend's team member Omar Jose Cardona, a 33-year-old singer and cruise ship headliner from Orlando, FL.

John repeatedly called Omar "The Voice" towards the end of the competition due to his wide vocal range.

And another "Team Blake" member, Brayden Lape, a 16-year-old student and aspiring singer from Grass Lake, MI, finished the show in fifth place.

The Voice coach Gwen Stefani did not have an artist in the finale.

Singers and songwriters One Republic, former American Idol runner-up Adam Lambert, Maluma, The Voice 21 winning trio Girl Named Tom, The Voice coach and former American Idol winner Kelly Clarkson, former The Voice finalist Kane Brown, and Breland graced the stage with performances.

The five The Voice finalists also sang duets with their respective coaches.

On Monday night's final performance show for The Voice's 22nd season, Bryce performed "T-R-O-U-B-L-E" by Elvis Presley (as performed by Travis Tritt) as well as "Don't Close Your Eyes" by Keith Whitley.
