Josh Kaufmann wins the Voice Season 6

The Voice Season 6 winner was finally revealed as Josh Kaufmann of Team Usher takes home the crown beating Jake Worthington who won the second place and Christina Grimmie for the third place. This 38-year old soul singer from Indianapolis became a sensation during his blind audition when he sang George Michael's "One More Try." From then on he was considered as one of the best contender for the show.

Although he won the competition, it was not an easy path for Josh to get where he is right now. He had faced a lot of trials which includes losing to Delvin Choice during the Knockout Battle when Adam Levine voted him out. Usher choose to save him by stealing him towards his team. He had predicted that Kaufmann will be the next voice of The Voice. But despite being voted out, that didn't stop him from impressing the crowd with his performances, such as "I Can't Make You Love Me" by Bonnie Raitt, "Love Runs Out" by One Republic, and Adele's hit song "Set Fire to the Rain".

Another challenge he faced was when a glitch in iTunes could have affected his chance to win. His rendition of Adele's "Set Fire to the Rain" was listed as under the album category instead of under the singles category. People who purchase songs of these finalists from iTunes will count as a vote. Since the song was listed as an album, fans of Kaufmann were trying to look for the album cover. This glitch has probably caused him some sales as well. As a result, the show's producers decided to not include the iTunes vote to make it fair for all the contestants.

However, despite not including the iTunes votes, the results of the poll still showed that Josh Kaufman is deserving to be the next winner of The Voice.
