'The Voice' crowns Season 23 winner and bids farewell to Blake Shelton

LOS ANGELES — An 18-year-old from Sacramento has won the 23rd season of "The Voice," which bid farewell to longtime coach Blake Shelton during Tuesday's sentimental finale.

Gina Miles brought home the trophy for Team Niall after thanking first-time "Voice" coach Niall Horan for his "friendship" and "mentorship." Grace West (Team Blake) finished second, D. Smooth (Team Kelly) came in third, Sorelle (Team Chance) came in fourth and Noivas (Team Blake) came in fifth place.

During her audition, Miles turned the chairs of Horan and Kelly Clarkson with her powerful rendition of Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away." She became involved in music while shadowing her dad, a single parent who performed as a DJ on the weekends.
