Huge congratulations to Tessanne Chin, this season's winner of The Voice. But thumbs down to the individual who straight-up spoiled the outcome for me before the finale aired here on the West Coast.
Through an incredible run on NBC's popular singing competition, week after week, Tessanne's massive voice took her all the way to the top. I didn't actually follow the season very closely, but I did catch her tremendous 4-chair-spinning performance during the blind auditions. From the start, this Jamaican songstress made it pretty clear to everyone that she had the goods to win it all. And dammit, she did.
Here are some highlights from Tessanne's star-making run on The Voice, starting with that audition:
