Jake Hoot is The Voice

The Voice, Season 17, crowned its winner on Tuesday night. Jake Hoot took home the series’ top prize, beating fellow contestants— Katie Kadan, Ricky Duran, and Rose Short. Short was placed fourth, Kadan placed third, and Duran placed second. Before the winners were announced, contestants Alex, Will, Max and Shane returned to sing Gimme Some Lovin! for the finale episode.

In classic The Voice fashion, some popular artistes also performed a hit or two as well. Jake joined Little Big Town on stage to perform the country group’s latest single, Over Drinking. Former The Voice judge Jennifer Hudson also appeared to perform, Memory, from the upcoming film, Cats. That performance was followed by a sketch in which Shelton was hit on the head. In the end, Stefani smacked him on the back of the head with a frying pan, restoring him to his original state.
