Aiden Ross kicked off Season 28 with a stunning Blind Audition, singing Adele’s “Love in the Dark”. His rich, emotional vocals and strong falsetto earned an instant four‑chair turn, with all four coaches (Niall Horan, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, and Snoop Dogg) turning for him.
Niall Horan praised him as a “155%” artist and said he sounded like he had written the song himself, while Snoop Dogg called his voice “smooth like butter”. Aiden ultimately chose to join Team Niall, marking the beginning of his run on the show.
In the Battle Rounds, Aiden was paired with fellow Team Niall member Ava Nat to sing Julia Michaels’ “What a Time”. The performance showcased his control, tone, and ability to blend with a partner while still standing out.
Coach Niall declared Aiden the winner of the Battle, but also used his “save” to keep Ava Nat on the team, advancing both artists to the Knockouts.
During the Knockouts, Aiden delivered one of the standout performances of the round with Billie Eilish’s “When the Party’s Over”. His emotional delivery, clean runs, and powerful falsetto impressed the coaches and critics alike.
He faced off against Liam Von Elbe (who sang “Over My Head [Cable Car]”) and was chosen as the winner by Niall Horan. Critics called it an “A+” performance and one of the best of the Knockouts, with Snoop Dogg saying Aiden “could win The Voice”.
In the Playoffs, Aiden chose Damien Rice’s haunting ballad “The Blower’s Daughter,” a song that highlighted his vulnerability and vocal nuance. His stripped‑down, intimate take earned strong praise from Niall and the other coaches for its maturity and emotional depth.
Because of this performance, Niall selected Aiden as his sole artist to advance to the Live Playoffs (the Lives) from his team.
During the Live Playoffs, Aiden continued to impress with polished, radio‑ready performances that kept him safe week after week. His consistency and strong fan support helped him survive the public vote and reach the Top 6.
In the final six, he was joined by DEK of Hearts (Team Niall), Jazz McKenzie and Max Chambers (Team Bublé), Aubrey Nicole (Team Reba), and Ralph Edwards (Team Snoop).
In the two‑night finale, Aiden performed two songs on the final stage. First, he sang JVKE’s “Golden Hour,” a modern pop track that showcased his bright tone and stage presence. Niall praised him for capturing “the heartbeat” of the song and connecting with the audience.
He closed the night with a powerful, emotional rendition of ABBA’s “The Winner Takes It All,” a classic that highlighted his range and control. Critics noted that this performance was one of the most talked‑about of the finale and helped solidify his frontrunner status.
After the final votes were tallied, host Carson Daly announced the final rankings, with Aiden Ross crowned as the winner of Season 28. He became the first artist from Team Niall to win the season, giving Niall Horan his third consecutive coaching victory.
Aiden’s journey from a four‑chair turn in the Blinds, through strong Battles and Knockouts, to a dominant Playoff run and a winning finale—cemented him as a deserving champion of The Voice Season 28.
