Part 1 of the finale of The Voice season 25 came out on Monday, May 20, on NBC. It had all five finalists of the season sing two songs each, one being an Up-tempo song and the other a Ballad.
From the list of guest performers the two-part finale promised to showcase, two performances went down on episode 20, including that of legendary country singer and super mentor of the season, Keith Urban, alongside that of the U.S. Army Field Band.
The two performances by all five finalists were their last before the Americans cast their votes to name the winner, who would get a $100,000 prize money and a record deal.
