Sofronio Vasquez and Michael Bublé win

“The Voice” named Team Bublé singer Sofronio Vasquez as the winner of season 26.

The season finale was broadcast on Tuesday evening, when the Team Bublé singer with the most audience votes prevailed against the remaining five viewers. In addition to the title of “The Voice,” Vasquez also received the $100,000 record deal that came with it.

Not only did trainer Michael Bublé score his first win, he was also the only trainer to have two competitors in the top five and later the bottom two, with 17-year-old New Yorker Shye taking second place.

Vasquez, a 32-year-old from Mindanao, Philippines, won after two rousing performances Monday night of “Unstoppable” by Sia and “A Million Dreams” by “The Greatest Showman.”

“Your mentorship is a blessing to me, my family and all the dreamers out there. You opened so many doors,” Vasquez told his coach shortly before his win.
