The stage has now been set for a much-anticipated finale where Rubin will face off with fellow finalists, Jim Ranger, Ian Flanigan, Desz, and John Holiday on December 14, to see if he can give Stefani her first championship as a coach.

Rubin has been impressing since his blind auditions, after turning the chairs of John Legend (41) and Stefani (51) when he performed "Before You Go" by Lewis Capaldi. With Stefani's promise to play a motherly role for Rubin, he picked her team.

"It's so good to be able to watch you shine and know that you are good at that. Not only good, but mind glowingly good."
