Watch: Celine Dion, OneRepublic & Paramore Perform on "The Voice USA"

OneRepublic, Celine Dion and Paramore were three of the guest performers on the grand finale of Season 5 of “The Voice” on NBC last night (December 17th).

The Ryan Tedder-led band performed for the first on television their new single “I Lived” from their third studio album "Native" released in March this year. It's no "Counting Stars", that's for certain, but fans have indicated "I Lived" is one of their most-liked tracks on "I Lived" so I guess OneRepublic made the right thing picking it as their next single. The band gave a correct performance on “The Voice”. And again, Ryan Tedder showed the improvement of his live vocal skills.

Canadian diva Celine Dion performed her new US single "Incredible" alongside Ne-Yo on "The Voice" stage as well. Ne-Yo co-wrote this mid-tempo, Disney-esque, track for Celine’s latest album “Loved Me Back To Life”. Celine produced angelic vocals, while Ne-Yo did a good job as Celine’s vocalist companion. "Incredible" is a good song, but "Loved Me Back To Life" (lead single and title track) was simply brilliant and it didn't do a good job on the US charts. So the fate of “Incredible” is pretty much settled.

Last but not least, Paramore were also performers on the finale episode of “The Voice”. They were called last minute to do the show, and had to cancel a concert in Florida to make it. Hayley Williams made a duet with contestant Jacquie Lee for the song “Ain’t It Fun”, the new single from Paramore’s self-titled fourth album. Hayley is such an incredible performance! She definitely “went to church” last night.
