After 12 seasons,\u00a0fans of NBC\u2019s \u201cThe Voice\u201d know to watch the premiere carefully. Producers stack the first episode of \u201cblind auditions\u201d<\/a> with exceptionally\u00a0talented singers \u2014 with especially intriguing backstories \u2014 to hook viewers as soon as the show begins. It\u2019s a clear signal that contestants in the premiere have a good chance to go far in the competition.<\/p>\n

On Tuesday night,\u00a0Chris Blue (a 26-year-old worship leader from Knoxville, Tenn.) walked away in first place, landing a record deal and $100,000 prize.\u00a0His win wasn\u2019t surprising. With a stunning voice and lots of charisma, he was pegged as a frontrunner leading into the finale. However, Blue was not<\/em> in the season\u2019s first audition episode \u2014 and unlike any other winner in the show\u2019s history, he was actually featured in the last one.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe very last artist selected in the blind audition process goes on to win it all!\u201d host Carson Daly marveled in the closing moments of the finale, clearly excited about this fun fact, as confetti rained down and Blue sobbed\u00a0on stage.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s true: Earlier this year, Blue was the last contestant to perform on the seventh and final blind audition episode in mid-March. (Blind auditions generally run five to seven episodes.) Blue was so far down the list that by the time he belted the classic \u201cTracks of My Tears\u201d in front of the celebrity coaches, their teams were practically already filled \u2014\u00a0except for Alicia Keys<\/a>, who was thrilled to add Blue (with his \u201cbluesy and soulful\u201d voice) as the final\u00a0member of her contestant roster.<\/p>\n
