Wé McDonald started out "The Voice" finale by singing "Love Me Now" with John Legend. What a way to start.

McDonald finished in third place on season 16 of "The Voice" Tuesday night. She said her coach, Alicia Keys, gave her confidence in herself and that she was already a winner because of that.

McDonald, a Paterson native, was bullied as a child. She performed her own song, "Wishes," on "The Voice" first half finale on Monday. She released the music video for the song Monday.
