"THE VOICE"-DANIELLE WINS

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- It's a heck of a way to start a career. Sixteen-year-old Danielle Bradbery never had a big singing gig or a vocal lesson. But she wins season-four of "The Voice." It's also the third win for coach Blake Shelton. Danielle was too stunned to say much and couldn't get through the song to close the show. Indie rocker Michelle Chamuel (sham-yoo-EL') is the runner-up. Her coach was first-timer Usher. The Swon Brothers finished third. They were coached by Shelton, too. The two-hour finale featured a host of guest performers, including Cher and Pitbull.
