What does the winner of The Voice get?

Each winner of The Voice reportedly gets $100,000 and a record deal with Universal Music Group.

By comparison, the winner of American Idol reportedly earns $250,000, plus a $1,000 weekly stipend while recording their album.

However, The Voice winner’s celebrity coach sometimes offers other perks to the champion.

Former Voice judge Blake Shelton has taken winners from his team on tour with him and has tried to push Universal Music Group to promote their records properly.

In addition, the cash prize reportedly has strings attached to it.

In 2014, the New York Daily News reported that if a contestant violates the contract they signed with the network, they will not walk away with the prize.

Any contestant who reveals the details of the show’s contract can be sued for between $100,000 to $1 million.

Apart from winning the cash prize, contestants are given a small stipend to cover necessities while they’re on the show.

What have past The Voice winners said about the record label deal?

Previous winners of The Voice have gone on the record and complained that though they won a record deal, they did not win the support of the label.

Alisan Porter from season 10 told the New York Post: “I knew I wasn’t gonna be the next Ariana Grande, but when you’re with a label who has Ariana Grande or people like that, that’s sort of their motivation.”

Eighth-season winner Sawyer Fredericks also told the Post: “I feel like they’re trying to cookie-cutter every person that comes out of The Voice ’cause they think they’re all the same.

“I don’t think they put the time into figuring out what kind of artist I was.”

Even The Voice coaches have criticized how the label deals with champions of the show.

Former coach Adam Levine told Howard Stern: “We do so much great s**t for these singers, and then they go to a record label … that f***k it up.”

How can I watch The Voice?

Fans of The Voice saw Michael Huntley crowned as the winner on Tuesday, December 19, 2023.

Huntley performed Creed’s song Higher during part one of the season finale and it was enough to help secure him the victory.

This marks coach Niall Horan’s second straight win after he joined the show last year coaching Gina Miles to a victory.

While fans wait for season 25 to premiere on February 26, 2024, they can rewatch the finale on Peacock, along with earlier episodes.
