And then there were three.

The Voice's remaining three contestants Danielle Bradbery, Michelle Chamuel and the Swon Brothers all took the NBC reality hit's stage for their final performance show on Monday night, singing their hearts out to be crowned season four's winner. But they weren't alone—Michelle's mentor Usher joined her on stage for a duet of U2's "One," and Danielle and the Brothers' coach Blake Shelton performed with them as well!

We exclusively chatted with the three finalists backstage after the finale, where they dished on performing with their mentors...and revealed secrets about them, too! But first...how did Danielle feel about Adam Levine predicting she'd be the one to win it all?

"It definitely made me feel good in hopes about tomorrow, but at this point you never know what's going to happen. I stick to his word though," Danielle said of Adam picking her as season four's winner. "It would be an honor to win. It would be awesome!"

As for the night's performances, The Swon Brothers tackled Brad Paisley's "Celebrity" with Blake and told us performing with their coach "takes the stress away...I'm happy Blake picked it. If you can make fun of yourself on TV, then you can do pretty much anything," Zach joked. "It's always a blast with Blake. It's the most comfortable singing we do on the show ‘cause it's just fun. It's just guys getting up there and doing what we love to do."

And apologies to the people looking for juicy gossip about Blake, because the brothers tell us what you see is what you get with the country crooner. Translation: He's just as awesome as you'd expect him to be! "He's not really full of surprises. What you see is what you get. He's that way off-camera," Colton tells us. "He's a goofy, goofy guy, but at the same time, he's got a huge heart. I can't count the number of times that he's just literally come up and hugged us and said, ‘I love you boys,'" they revealed. "I didn't expect him to even do that. He's kind of a big bear. He's like a brother." Awww alert!

Danielle, who sang "Timber, I'm Falling in Love" with Blake, echoed their sentiment, saying, "He shows a lot of his personality on TV and he's what you see is what you get. He's an awesome person. He's so funny just as he appears to be."

But fret not; we were able to learn one secret about Usher, courtesy of his final contestant Michelle! "I found out one thing that I was surprised and that that he does not like papayas," she dished. "It made me respect him all the more!"

Of performing with Usher, Michelle gushed, "He is incredible. It was absolutely amazing and really fun to sing with him."
