00:00 Season 24 winner of The Voice.
00:02 The winner of The Voice is Huntley!
00:07 [cheering]
00:10 Take me back to that moment on stage
00:11 they announced Huntley.
00:12 What's going through your mind?
00:14 Honestly, I was so surprised.
00:16 You know, Ruby-- yeah, Ruby is so talented.
00:19 And I think that she's a force to reckon with.
00:20 So the fact that it was us two standing up there,
00:23 I thought that it was right.
00:24 But also, you know, if I would have went home, you know,
00:28 to a six-year-old named Ruby Lee, you know,
00:30 I think that I would have been OK with it.
00:32 She's super talented.
00:33 And when my name got called, I genuinely
00:35 couldn't believe it, you know?
00:36 Yeah.
00:37 OK, so you would have been cool losing to Ruby Lee.
00:38 But tonight, you are the winner.
00:39 Yes.
00:40 And you've got another back-to-back win.
00:42 What's the secret sauce?
00:44 Is this the luck of the Irish?
00:45 I don't know what it is.
00:47 I know I've-- just when I took the job,
00:48 I told myself that I was going to, like,
00:50 no matter how busy I was in my-- in the day-to-day job--
00:53 in the day job, I should say--
00:55 I just always told myself that I was going to commit,
00:57 like, 100%, because I've been on a show like this.
01:00 And I know what it's like to have a strong mentor.
01:02 And we were lucky enough to have one back in the day.
01:04 But, you know, to have someone there just to bounce ideas off,
01:07 you know, come up with song ideas with,
01:10 and things like that, and just really get to know someone.
01:13 Because I know exactly what it's like to be on a show like this.
01:15 Cameras everywhere, left, right, and center.
01:17 You know, you wake up, there's a camera in your face.
01:18 You go to sleep, there's a camera in your face.
01:20 And it can be-- if you've never done anything like it,
01:22 it can be a testing experience.
01:24 So I just told myself that that's what I wanted to do.
01:26 So maybe that's what the secret sauce is.
01:28 I don't know. - Yeah.
01:29 I see Huntley nodding.
01:30 I feel like you agree with that response.
01:32 Oh, yeah, 100%.
01:33 You know, I think that any time I had to reach out to him--
01:35 mind you, you know, he's not only, you know,
01:37 a coach on "The Voice," but he's also traveling the world
01:40 and doing it at the same time.
01:41 Kind of a big deal.
01:42 Yeah, so whenever I feel like I'm too busy or complaining
01:44 about this process, I kind of just think back.
01:46 And I'm just like, dude, this dude's
01:47 literally flying around the world
01:48 and still, you know, messaging me back on my emails.
01:50 It's pretty cool.
01:51 I respect it very, very much.
01:52 My final two questions.
01:54 So you won a record deal tonight and a really fat check.
01:58 What is your artist project going to look like?
02:00 And what are you going to spend the money on?
02:02 You know, I definitely think that--
02:05 I haven't really thought that far ahead.
02:07 Yeah, I think that my main concern
02:11 is to take a step back and just, like, breathe
02:14 and just, like, really take everything in.
02:15 Because this experience has taken, you know, half a year.
02:17 I've spent six months away from my kids, my son,
02:20 speaking in full sentences now.
02:21 You know, it's--
02:22 It's not a big deal for them.
02:23 You know, it's-- it's insane.
02:25 But this has all been so worthwhile.
02:28 And I think that I just want my career.
02:30 I'm so hungry for this.
02:31 And, you know, I know John says he can see me singing
02:33 around arenas, you know, around the world.
02:35 And that's something that I'm very hungry for.
02:37 And, you know, no matter what record label,
02:39 if I would have lost tonight, you guys
02:40 would have been seeing me either way.
02:41 Y'all-- y'all are not getting rid of me.
02:42 No.
02:43 No, and speaking of arenas, we're
02:44 so excited about "The Show."
02:46 We're going to miss you on "The Voice" next season.
02:48 But how is this tour going to be different from Niall
02:50 Horan projects of the past?
02:52 Well, the fans have allowed me to play at bigger venues.
02:53 And I'll be playing arenas and huge amphitheaters
02:56 all over the world.
02:58 And with that comes me trying to make the biggest
03:00 show I possibly can and the show that I've
03:02 always wanted to make.
03:03 And I'm-- I'm excited to now take a rest for a few weeks,
03:07 get home, chill out, enjoy the Christmas,
03:08 and then get back to the grind and we go again.
03:11 Can't wait.
03:11 I can't wait.
03:12 I hope you have some surprises up your sleeve.
03:14 Maybe.
03:14 Maybe. Thank you.
03:15 Thank you.
03:16 Congratulations.
