"The Voice" 2023 winner Gina Miles emerged victorious this year from Team Niall, besting all the contestants with her young and angelic voice. The 18-year-old singer from Paxton, Illinois, floored the judges with her stage presence and sheer talent and voice.
Niall Horan, a newbie judge this season, is the only returning judge on "The Voice" Season 24, along with some familiar faces.
The Voice 2023 Winner Gina Miles
Born on Nov. 6, 2003, in Paxton, Illinois, the 19-year-old burgeoning singer-songwriter seemed to have all the makings of the next pop star.
Auditioning with a soulful performance of Katy Perry's "The One That Got Away," Miles had a hard time choosing between Team Kelly and Team Niall. Kelly was shocked to hear Miles speak at first considering how small her speaking one is compared to her arena-filling big voice.
Eventually, Miles went with Team Niall. At the Battle Rounds, Gina Miles rocked a Bon Iver's cover of "Skinny Love" with Kala Banham. Niall went with Miles while Banham was stolen by Kelly.
At the Knockouts, Miles showed her individuality as she secured her spot at the Playoffs with Gotye's "Somebody That I Used To Know." In the next round, Miles managed to wow the audience with her hauntingly beautiful cover of Chris Isaak's "The Wicked Game," securing her spot at the Live Semifinals as Team Niall narrows down.

Finale ready, Miles swept the floor by singing Taylor Swift's "1989" hit "Style," and Sinead O'Connor's "Nothing Compares 2 U." For the duet with the coach, Miles and Niall shocked everyone with the winning duet of Billy Joel's "New York State of Mind."
