Last night, the final three contestants gave it their all on The Voice in their last effort to take home the title. Although Will Champlin did a great job, both in his solo performances and in a duet with coach Adam Levine, it looks like it's going to come down to Tessanne Chin or Jacquie Lee.

The show started with the contestants singing their original audition songs again. For Camplin it was "Not Over You" by Gavin Degraw. Lee sang her soulful version of Amy Winehouse's "Back to Black, and Chin's audition song was Pink's "Try." Overall, we were reminded of how good they were from the beginning, but it was kind of a lackluster start to the show, considering we'd seen it before.

They then did duets with their coaches. Levine sang the classic Beatles song "Let It Be" with Chin, adding a reggae twist to it, and Elton John's "Tiny Dancer" with Champlin. Christina Aguilera sang "We Remain" from Hunger Games: Catching Fire with Lee, and unfortunately, Aquilera totally out staged her. But the girl is 16 years old.

As much as Lee's talent has rightfully kept her in the competition, it's sometimes hard to take her as seriously as the other contestants because she is so young and hasn't fought as hard to get to this point. Aguilera talks (a lot) about how much she loves Lee and praises her for being so good so young, but it might not be the best selling point for voters when wardrobe is dressing her in pretty revealing short dresses and putting her in 6-inch heels.

The final songs of the night were where the contestants really shined, but unfortunately for Champlin, his performance was set between the other two, and the other two pretty much nailed it.

Chin sang the Whitney Houston power-ballad "I Have Nothing," (watch below) and she left Levine speechless for a moment. "It's sacred ground, so it's something people stay away from," he said. "It's impossible to replicate. But every single time . . . I'm so blown away, I know you are the winner."

Well there you go, right before his other contestant is about to hit the stage, he named Chin the winner. It made sense for him to say that, but it likely made it that much more difficult for Champlin to make his final attempt on the stage. He gave it his all though, that was clear, and he got points from anyone sentimental when he finished singing Bryan Adams' "(Everything I Do) I Do It for You" by walking over to kiss his wife and baby.

Lee wrapped up the show by belting out Jennifer Hudson's version of "And I Am Telling You" from Dreamgirls. It's not necessarily the case, but it always seems like the one who sings last on shows like this is the supposed frontrunner, but we'll find out tonight after the votes come in.
