“The Voice” may have waited until the last five minutes of its two-hour finale to crown a winner, as reality singing competitions do, but don’t worry, we won’t make you wait. When the confetti flew, it was Craig Wayne Boyd, the underdog country singer, who won it all. The odds were stacked up against Craig going into Tuesday night’s season ender. Three of the other finalists were on Team Adam — and Adam must be livid. Boyd was the only country singer, and he’s a lot older than the other artists.
This win just goes to show how strong the country music fan base is.
The four finalists performed original songs written specifically for them, as a way to show viewers the kind of music they’d be recording.
Craig’s song, “My Baby’s Got a Smile On Her Face,” was given to him by Blake Shelton who said he had been “carrying it around” for years, not knowing what to do with it.
