"The Voice" paid tribute to the victims of the Newtown, Conn., killings last night on NBC.

All of this season's contestants, coaches Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and CeeLo Green plus host Carson Daly and social media correspondent Christina Milian of NBC's hit reality singing competition gathered on stage, standing behind a row of glowing candles, to sing Leonard Cohen's "Hallelujah."

Oklahoma's Shelton led off the singing with all the coaches singing verses and the contestants joining in the chorus. Each held cards displaying the names and ages of the victims of the horrific massacre at Sandy Hook Elementary school of last Friday.

The series ends its season tonight with the live finale airing at 8 p.m. on NBC, channel 2, cable 9.

Here's the heartwrenching video:

Rita Sherrow grew up with TV. Yes, it was the ever-present “sister” from another techno mother. At first look, it was instant "Like." From then on, the TV had to be on in every room while she studied, elementary school through college. An Air Force brat, she attended school in three states (Oklahoma, Montana and Georgia) and two foreign countries (Germany and Bermuda) and graduated from Broken Arrow High School and the University of Tulsa with a degree in journalism/advertising. She first interned in the advertising world but, when a J-School professor (who also covered politics for the Tulsa World) offered her an internship at the newspaper, she took him up on it. The rest is history. She has served as bridal editor, senior features writer for the women’s section, food editor and is television editor of the Tulsa World. In addition to writing about TV shows and interviewing the stars for “Scene” stories, she also writes a TV column for Weekend and produces the Sunday TV World listings magazine.
