Vasquez, a 32-year-old from Mindanao, Philippines won following two electric performances Monday night of "Unstoppable" by Sia and "A Million Dreams" from "The Greatest Showman."
"Your mentorship is a blessing to me, my family and to all the dreamers out there. You have opened up so many doors," Vasquez told his coach moments before his win.
