The Voice season 12 two-part finale is next week on NBC. And this post (which I’ll pin to the left side bar) will be constantly updated with song and guest star spoiler. However, I will release a separate song spoiler post when the tunes are officially released on iTunes. On Monday, March 22, The Top 4: Lauren Duski, Chris Blue, Aliyah Moulden and Jesse Larson will perform for your votes. On Tuesday March 23, the winner will be announced.
As they have in the past couple of years, The Voice finalists will record original songs for their winners single. For instance, Lauren Duski has confirmed she will be singing a self-penned tune.
Yes! I will be performing one of my originals Monday night. I am SO EXCITED ??????????? https://t.co/gtJO8wkJlN

- Also, Brennley Brown and Rascal Flatts are set to pre-record a duet on Saturday May 20. Tickets are available at 1iota.com
(Hm. I wonder if the duet song will be “Are You Happy Now” the duet the group recorded with American Idol 10 runner-up Lauren Alaina for their latest album?

Plus: Yahoo music reveals the final 4 duets with their respective coaches!
Chris Blue: The song I will be singing with my coach is “Diamonds and Pearls” by Prince & The New Power Generation. This was masterminded by my coach, Alicia Keys. She really wanted to find a way to honor Prince. She hasn’t performed any Prince songs since his passing and felt like this would be the appropriate time to pay tribute. I love the song and I love the idea! For me personally, this will be special because she gets to honor an icon of her time while I get to sing with one of my own icons.
Jesse Larson: Adam Levine and I are singing “Let’s Go Crazy” by Prince. It was honestly an easy choice for me; it’s one of my favorite Prince songs. It’s my way of paying homage to Prince and what he’s done for me. I think it’s a great fit for both Adam and I as well.
Lauren Duski: We are singing “There’s a Tear in My Beer” by Hank Williams. Blake Shelton chose it and I think it’s the perfect choice — we’re going to have a lot of fun with this one.
Aliyah Moulding: “Dancing in the Streets,” by Martha & The Vandellas. Blake is just awesome; he thought that this would be the perfect song for our duet. He believes that I have an old soul as a performer. I totally agree. It will be an amazing performance. We will have a great time.
