The Voice Australia aired its gripping grand finale on Sunday evening, which saw Reuben De Melo crowned winner of the popular singing competition.
Reuben, who was on superstar LeAnn Rimes‘ team, could not contain his shock after host Sonia Kruger, 59, told him he had won a recording contract and $100,000 in prize money.
‘I never thought I’d get this far, this is crazy,’ he exclaimed.
Elsewhere, Rimes was quick to share kind words for the father-of-three following his triumphant win.
‘I’m so proud,’ began the Can’t Fight The Moonlight singer.
‘You deserve every bit of this moment and I’m so honoured that I could be on this journey with you.
‘You are incredible,’ she concluded.
Reuben competed in the grand finale alongside Annie Jones from Team Adam, Jaedyn Randell from Team Kate and SKŸE from Team Guy.

Alongside the coveted title, Reuben won $100,000 in prize money plus a money-can’t-buy music masterclass and industry recording development package.
In a breathtaking final solo performance of House Of The Rising Sun by The Animals, Rueben left all four coaches in awe, with singer Kate-Miller Heidke praising it as ‘exceptional’.
‘I can’t stop smiling. You just gave it your all. That was just insane,’ added Rimes, who also joined Reuben onstage for a heartfelt duet of Fix You by Coldplay.

Reuben captivated Australian audiences – and the show’s judges Adam Lambert, Guy Sebastian, Heidke and Rimes – with his very first Blind Audition.
Eager to have him on her team, LeAnn used her Ultimate Block to guarantee he would be on her team.
‘I knew as soon as he opened his mouth, and I heard him sing. There was just so much feeling there,’ she said at the time.
‘There was no way I was letting any of the other coaches get to him before I did.’
