editThe Top 5 performed on Monday, May 11, 2015, with the results following on Tuesday, May 12, 2015. Similar to the Quarterfinals, the bottom two artists compete for the Instant Save and one artist was eliminated. iTunes multiplier bonuses were awarded to Fredericks (#2 and #3) and Linsey (#5).[16] Special guests in the audience included Anna Kendrick, Brittany Snow and Hailee Steinfeld from Pitch Perfect 2.
With the advancement of Sawyer Fredericks and Koryn Hawthorne, Pharrell Williams became the third coach to bring multiple artists to the finale, first being Blake Shelton in the 3rd season and Adam Levine in the previous season. With the elimination of Carney, Aguilera no longer has any remaining artists on her team.

Week 7: Finale (May 18 & 19)
editThe Top four performed on Monday, May 18, 2015, with the final results following on Tuesday, May 19, 2015. Finalists performed an original song, a duet with the coach, and a solo song. As with previous seasons, there was no iTunes bonus multiplier applied to songs performed in the finale episodes;[17] all iTunes votes received for the six weeks leading to the finale were cumulatively added to online, phone and app finale votes for each finalist. By the time voting ended, Fredericks charted at #2, #3, Linsey at #5, and Davis at #9 on iTunes.[18]
With the advancement of Meghan Linsey, Joshua Davis, and Koryn Hawthorne, this is the first time in The Voice history where 3 stolen artists advanced to the finale. Meghan is originally from Team Pharrell, Joshua Davis from Blake's team, and Koryn Hawthorne formerly from Christina's team. As a result, almost all 4 finalists were stolen artists.
