( CNN ) -- `` The Voice '' crowned Texas teen Danielle Bradbery its new winner on Tuesday , proving to the country singer that she could do what she 'd thought to be impossible . `` I remember singing in my room to my wall , just acting like there 's so many people out there even though I knew I could never do that , '' Bradbery told CNN after her big win . `` My mom wanted to do something about my voice , and signed me up and we took a road trip to Dallas for 'The Voice ' ( auditions ) not knowing what was going to happen . I was scared to death . And it led to me being the winner , and that is unbelievable . '' The 16-year-old claimed the title during Tuesday 's finale of the NBC singing competition , which was packed with performances from Cher , Bruno Mars and `` Voice '' coach Christina Aguilera , who will return to the series next season after a short hiatus . Bradbery is `` The Voice 's '' youngest winner , and also the third victor in a row from coach Blake Shelton 's team . Shelton , who was celebrating his 37th birthday on Tuesday , told CNN that he does n't try to win as much as he tries to build a team that excites him . `` This year , I finally got the country team that I dreamed of since day one , and I have a little bit more knowledge about that than I had in the past , '' he said . `` But the truth is , anybody could win if they have Danielle Bradbery . She 's just an incredible , God-given gift to the music industry . Anybody who can sing like that , with almost no experience whatsoever coming into this thing , is very special . Any producer , no matter what genre , would be thankful to work with somebody that talented . '' New `` The Voice '' coach Usher Raymond saw one of his mentees , Michelle Chamuel , land in second place , while the Swon Brothers from Shelton 's team came in third . The show itself was a huge ratings winner for NBC on Tuesday , as the finale pulled in 15.3 million viewers . That marked `` The Voice 's '' most-watched finale to date , and it also surpasses the 14.3 million who watched `` American Idol 's '' 12th season finale on Fox in May . That veteran singing competition is undergoing a slew of changes , as Fox has announced that longtime producer Nigel Lythgoe is departing `` Idol , '' along with judges Randy Jackson , Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj . But perhaps the updates will benefit `` Idol '' in the same way it 's worked for `` The Voice , '' which temporarily brought in Usher and Shakira as coaches this season in place of Aguilera and Cee Lo Green . `` People thought we were crazy to switch up something that was working , '' host Carson Daly told CNN , `` But ... it 's about American families . I think people feel guilty that there 's not enough connectivity between their kids and themselves , and maybe their parents if they 're still around . There 's not a lot of great TV on network primetime that brings them all together . If you can figure out how to do that , and I think 'The Voice ' has , then you 're doing something right .
