Miley Cyrus went wild on The Voice on Monday when one of the contestants sang her favorite song My Way by Frank Sinatra.

Billy Gilman, 28, belted out the 1969 hit as the two-night finale kicked off for the NBC singing competition show.

'You just sang my favourite song in the entire world,' yelled Miley, 24, afterwards.

'It resonated not only with you but with me and my team…we're walking around with so much pride and joy..thank you for doing that song, that's my anthem,' continued the Wrecking Ball singer, who was wearing a florescent 70s print dress, with a netted face veil.

Billy's coach, Adam Levine, 37, had called the track hyper-masculine. 

 'He's doing this hyper-masculine song and it's the first time he's done that,' said the Maroon 5 frontman.

'How do you not feel like, regardless of the outcome, you've just won The Voice right now?' added Adam enthusiastically.

Billy's performance was part of The Voice's two-hour, two-part final. Each finalist had performed three songs. One cover, one duet with their coach and one original single.

'I had to let her know that I couldn't live without her,' he said earnestly.

'It's beyond me how this guy has not been discovered before,' Blake said afterwards.

Los Angeles native Adam and Billy, from Rhode Island, later teamed up for a rendition of the Everly Brothers' Bye Bye Love.

'I can't even express how proud I am,' said Alicia, calling the teenager 'the truth' with 'unlimited potential'.

Billy's cover was Because Of Me.

'This song was going to be a Maroon 5 song but we started working on it and I said ''you know, I think Billy would really kill this song'',' said Adam.

'That's the magic…I think this moment is probably one of the most definitive moments of your career,' praised Adam later.

Definitive moment: Billy was told by Adam that he had reached a peak moment in his career

Wé closed the night by belting out Don't Rain On My Parade by Barbra Streisand.

Alicia couldn't stop screaming.

'To me this song shows everybody, who ever, ever didn't understand who you are, how diverse you are, how unique you are, how special you are, it gives everybody a chance to know that nothing can stop you,' she extolled.

The Voice winner will be announced on Tuesday on NBC after the public vote.
