And The Winner OF 'The Voice' Season Five Is...

The final standings for season five finale of The Voice featured two of Adam Levine's acts, with Will Champlin and Tessanne Chin representing the Maroon 5 singer, and Christina Aguilera's 16-year-old protege Jacquie Lee. After 13 weeks of hard fought contest, the three became two and then two became one, as Tessanne Chin was crowned the newest winner of NBC's singing contest.

Levine scored his second win in the contest, whilst Christina will have to wait a while longer

It was a second win for Levine as a judge and few could begrudge Chin for winning the contest after 13 solid weeks of top quality performances. On Tuesday (17 Dec.) night the Jamaica-born singer was picked ahead of Champlin, who placed third, and Lee, who came second, not just based on votes from the American public, but on her merit as an artist, as seen throughout the latest season. The final votes took into consideration the contestant's success on iTunes and other fields away from the show, and it was Chin who was the clear favourite to win from the get-go.

With each headline song performed by the artists being uploaded to iTunes after their Monday and Tuesday night performances, Chin had essentially secured her place at the top of the Class of 2013 through this medium alone. Whilst there was no clear winner coming into the week, with Tess and Jacquie scoring one top ten hit each and Will scoring two, by the start of Tuesday's show Tess had scored two No. 1 hits thanks to her Monday night performances.

Everybody give a RT for @Tessanne for winning @NBCTheVoice! #TeamAdam #TessanneIsTheVoice

Tess and Adam's success came at the expense of Aguilera becoming the first female judge to win the series, but it wasn't for a lack of trying on Christina's behalf. She pulled out all the stops to sell her 16-year-old sensation to the voting audience over the course of Monday and Tuesday, but untimately her inexperience as a singer showed and she just couldn't match up to the sheer talent displayed by Chin.

Xtina will have to wait a while if she wants to score her first win too, with The Voice returning in February next year with Shakira and Usher returning in favour of Aguilera and Cee-lo.

For Chin, she has landed herself a shiny new recording contract and the chance to make it big. She also has a brand new Kia, courtesy of the show's sponsors, as do the other two finalists, but what Chin must really want in endurability and a lasting career as a singer. Given the success of the show's former finalists and winners, this might not be guaranteed, but with such an impressive set of lungs on her, Tessanne has as much a chance as anyone who came before her to make it big.

The line-up will be shuffled again next season
