For ten years, The Voice has showcased a variety of competitors, and we're here to compare the show's 19 winners by age and height. In terms of ages and heights, winners really ran the gamut. The range of winners showed viewers just how different contestants can be. While the show has a minimum age requirement of 13, competitors are free to audition up to any age. However, there is one exception. A person can't audition if they are a candidate for public office.
During The Voice season 14, a teen vocalist took home the grand prize. The winner was Brynn Cartelli, who was 15 at the time and is 5 and a half inches tall. She was the youngest competitor to win the show. Season 19 paved the way for another 15-year-old, Carter Rubin (who is now making TikTok videos), making him the second-youngest contestant to prevail in the competition. Carter was then 4'11". As far as youngsters go, the only other teen contestant to walk away with the cash prize (and Universal Music Group record deal) was season 15’s Chevel Shepherd, who is now 18 years old. She is 5'2".
Of all the winners, a few are in their twenties, with Sawyer Fredericks, 22, being the youngest Generation Z winner. He is 5'5". As for millennials, season 4’s Danielle Bradbery is 24 and stands 5'6" tall. Jordan Smith and Chloe Kohanski are both 27. Jordan is 6'5" and Chloe is 5'5". Maelyn Jarmon is 28 and stands 5'5". In terms of those in their early thirties, there was Chris Blue (he won at age 27 and is now 31) and Cassadee Pope, aged 31. Chris is 5'7" and Cassadee is 5'4". There was also Jake Hoot, aged 32, who is 6'5". Tessanne Chin and Alisan Porter are in their late thirties, at 35 and 39 respectively. Tessanne is 5'5 and 3/4" tall. Alisan is 5'1".
The oldest contestant to win is Todd Tilghman, who is now writing a book. He is 43 and 5'9". He won season 18 at 42 years old. Currently, season 6 winner Josh Kaufman is the oldest winner overall at 44 years old. Josh's height is a bit of mystery. However, information about exactly how tall he is may surface later. The remaining winners are also all in their forties, including 41-year-old Jermaine Paul (who is 6'2"). Javier Colon (who is 6'2"), Craig Wayne Boyd (who is 6'0"), and Sundance Head are all 42 years old. Sundance is 6'0".
With viewers’ frame of reference surrounding height being a 6’5” Blake Shelton or a 5’2” Christina Aguilera, it's time to compare some heights. Jordan and Jake are the same height as the popular country music singer. They are the tallest winners to date. Meanwhile, Chevel has a height identical to pop singer Christina. Standing at 5 feet tall, Alisan and Brynn are the shortest winners. They are only a few inches under 5’4” Cassadee and Carter (he grew from 4'11" to 5'4"). Sawyer is one inch taller at 5'5". Following Jordan and Jake, a few winners pass the 6-foot mark, with 6-foot Craig Wayne and Sundance just making it, and Javier Colon coming in at 6’2”.
The Voice finale is set to premiere in May and fans can watch season 20 on the Peacock network (and at other platforms). Rachel Mac is currently the youngest competitor in the running. She could potentially become one of the youngest to win the show, at just 15 years old. If Pete Mroz, 45, becomes the winner, he will make history as the oldest individual to be victorious. The present season’s participants want to impress the panel of successful judges, and they certainly have a lot to look up to. Well, unless they’re as tall as Blake, in which case they have a lot to look down on, but just in terms of height!
