The series was won by twins Shanice & Andrea Nyandoro, making them the first duo to win the show. Their victory also marks will.i.am's first win as a coach on the kids version of the show.[10][11][12] This also means that will.i.am has won at least one season in each version he's competed on, as he has won in both the adult series and The Voice Australia.
This series is currently the latest to air. Following the final, it was announced that the show would be put on a hiatus, leaving the fate of the series unknown.[13][14]
