Danielle Bradbery wins Season 4 of 'The Voice'

Tonight's the night, Voice fans! After weeks of stellar performances and touching moments, we finally crowned a Season 4 victor. After The Swon Brothers were eliminated, it was down to Michelle Chamuel and Danielle Bradbery. Finally, Carson revealed

During the June 18 finale of 'The Voice,' I was crossing my fingers for Danielle — and it worked.

Danielle Bradbery is the winner of The Voice! The contestant won the show's fourth season on June 18 2013. See who placed second and third here!
