Who Are the Five Finalists on 'The Voice' Season 21?

Five contestants and three coaches are hoping the public will help them win Season 21 of The Voice tonight.

All five remaining contestants performed two songs last night in the first part of the two-night finale. Ariana Grande is the only coach with no skin in this game, as Blake Shelton and Kelly Clarkson have two contestants each remaining, while John Legend has one.

The finale will also feature a massive number of special guests as Season 21 of The Voice comes to an end in style.

Let's take a look at the prospective winners of The Voice 2021.

Hailey Mia, 14

The youngest competitor left in the competition, Mia is hoping coach Kelly Clarkson will be celebrating with her at the end of the competition.

Mia is from Clifton, New Jersey, and at such a young age, naturally she is just starting out with her entertainment career. She began the competition as part of Grande's team before Clarkson stole her.

She performed two songs from fellow teen singers on the first part of the finale: "deja vu" by Olivia Rodgrigo and "idontwannabeyouanymore" by Billie Eilish.

Winningham will hope to be the winning contestant after tonight's finale. A member of team Blake, he sang "Ain't Nobody" and "Me and Mrs. Jones" last night.

He is a former member of the Navy, where he served as a machinist and worked in the engine room. He was honorably discharged and now hopes to start a new career as winner of The Voice.

Bekah, Joshua and Caleb make up this sibling trio who will be hoping to take home the title for their coach, Clarkson. They formed the trio in 2019 to spend more time as a family after their father was diagnosed with a rare cancer.

Their hometown is Pettisville, Ohio, but they live in South Bend, Indiana. The trio want to make their hometown proud on The Voice.
