The grand finale for season 13 of The Voice airs tonight at 9 p.m. ET/PT on the NBC network. Brooke Simpson, Red Marlow, Chloe Kohanski and Addison Agen are the four remaining contestants in the mix and coach Jennifer Hudson is the only judge without a contestant in the finale. This final episode is filled with returning cast-offs from the season and major music stars, who will carry on duets. Next season, Kelly Clarkson and Alicia Keys will replace Hudson and Miley Cyrus as coaches, so they are sure to make appearances tonight. Keys will introduce last season’s Voice winner Chris Blue for a performance. According to NBC, “Last season’s victorious coach Alicia Keys will make a special appearance ahead of her spring 2018 return as a “Voice” coach to introduce singer, songwriter and season 12 winner Chris Blue, who will perform his brand new single, “Blue Blood Blues,” live for the first time. He triumphantly emerged as the season 12 winner on Team Alicia Keys, and, week after week, captured the hearts of millions with his combination of raw vocal talent, heartfelt honesty and brave vulnerability.” Bastille, Vince Gill, Kelly Clarkson, Demi Lovato, Billy Idol, Jessie J, Norah Jones, Bebe Rexha and Sia are some of the big music artists who will also participate in performances tonight.
