blowing one two three one two three throw it back until it loses like it doesn't exist feel my tears keep my glass full until the morning light 'cause I'm just holding on for tonight for tonight oh my god, I don't know if I'm happy, I'm very scared, what's your name? My name is Jordan Smith, where are you from? I'm from Harlan Kentucky You don't sound like your

voice

, FYI, but understand, best of all, all that individuality is standing on the stage of gratitude with each person who turned you around, you got better, that shows me how smart that you are for this and to see these people smiling and clapping and to see these guys and their reaction to you was such a beautiful experience and thank you Jordan, that was really amazing, yeah, thank you, I really appreciate that and obviously my

voice

is different.

They call me ma'am on the phone all the time. They also call me madam at every self-service. I had to learn to be different. It's actually what made me special, yeah, it's my gift and this for me is just an amazing opportunity to share that it's okay to be different and it's okay to be yourself because you're made that way and that's how God, I think am. the best coach for you right there you're supposed to say I agree who you choose as a coach I choose Hey guys, hey oh my gosh our advisor was John Fordy this guy is like a legend I mean he wrote to Latina Turner, proud Mary, oh God.

Oh my god, I was so excited, I think you guys are different, but you're both very powerful and I was like running like a compliment, you should sing together, this can be great and Sam Smith is obviously a great singer. I gave Regina and Jordan a like. I can by sam

smith

this is the perfect song for those two singers sam

smith

is a very emotional singer and he draws you in, so his challenge will be to try to live up to the same level as

jordan

and regina together, he is pure and yet, it's really a point to see it presented so easily oh man tremendous its like i wish i could make a good song make you feel something and i sure do both thanks

jordan

your range ain't even from this earth yeah i sing . top right, I can't do it that hard, I'll tell you right now, thanks and by the way, make the harmonies really in sync and not too far off from each other.

Regina, she's done some background. singing and stuff like that, she has a good ear for natural harmonies, so I definitely think that's something we're going to work on. It's amazing that we can do this show for so long and still have moments where we're totally blown away. away, the couple of you two creates this platform to have one of the most incredible moments in the history of the show. I think we already did it. He could be a sinner or a gentleman. I could be a preacher when your soul is dead. of circumstances maybe he's a mantra keep your mind why are you looking down the wrong path i'm still looking stop fooling but please oh i never love you like i think you're both special for completely different reasons but i gotta get on with it I feel like the

winner

of this battle is jordan jordan will continue to represent adam levine in the knockouts congratulations hello jordan hello when I saw rihanna I was blown away it's a pleasure to meet you you're trying to kiss me there and I really think that her music has shaped our generation what are you going to sing set the ring on fire by adele a dab i'm so excited i wouldn't be terrified of singing adele unless i was really drunk at karaoke there you go adele is a great vocalist and you have to know what you're doing to maneuver on a record like that.

I chose this song because when I was younger I struggled with image issues. The message of the song talks about the

journey

and then finding yourself. Again in that place of happiness your voice is so beautiful, I want to hear more, so at first when you start singing you fall a little, you like to leave and I say, I just want more. You know I'm a fan. Okay, I want to hear the full word extended. There's something great when Adele sings a song. It's very rhythmic, but there is a side of you that I never knew.

I need to feel it sway a little more. You always have time and a vocal to tell the whole story okay, this song is deep and each note needs to convey the story being told it was dark and now it's over until you kiss my lips I'm missing your body language okay, don't dance, don't do it do too much because it's not you but I want to feel you even through your hands I want to feel that you are in this moment just leave us there hanging from the cliff with our bare nails I can't stand it I don't like you anymore, come on, you're going to hurt my feelings, no, You will hurt mine.

Adele would be a scary choice if you weren't Jordan, but if you're going to want to be the best, what's a way to test yourself? singing the best and as it fell you rose up to claim it it was dark and now it's over until you kiss my lips and save me but there's a side of you that I never knew, I never knew all the things you'd say that were never true never true in games that you would play you would always do it I can't help it because I knew that was the last time the

winner

of this knockout is Jordan Jordan is the winner of the knockout, he will go to the last playoffs, congratulations.

I'm sorry, I'm trying not to cry. I can't believe how many views that YouTube clip got. My favorite part is that people talk about my story and how they can see my heart in it. That's what I saw, I'm glad I made it and my hometown is like going crazy for everything. Harlan is a coal mining town. My grandfather owned a mine and he is part of who we are. They are very happy to have someone like that. representing our area they give me a certificate thanking me for being a good administrator. I will never leave you out in the play-off of my life.

I'm singing Halo by Beyonce. I am very inspired by the song that says what kind. as an artist I want to be an emotionally passionate artist you know you're my saving grace the karaoke days are over what I want to say because there's nothing about you that's generic and I don't want this to feel generic I'm totally on board now that we have to think about the slightly different version with a longer nose and a less bad life, less like Beyonce and more simple, yes you want your own version, it's like I was woken up and you build it slowly, maybe put some strings on it and get some cellos .

Adam came up with the idea for the arrangement and it was cool to see that producing side of him like I'd been woken up. He is helping me see another side of myself. So I don't want to do exactly what is conventional. It's a risk. what i take away is that kid just had something that is so impossible to explain you really have to listen to it to understand it i will never cry on the show but that was the closest i got they were close they are here can you just give me a hug i need what you have they don't even They didn't even resist standing in the light of your halo They'll leave you out of everywhere I'm watching now I'm surrounded by your embrace baby I can see your halo You know you're my saving grace You're all I need more It's written on your face Baby I can feel you halo i pray it doesn't fade hello all over your face fade away oh america saved jordan smith keep going to the top before all this i was just a kid in harlan kentucky a year ago i was trying to make money so i could finish college you had A pretty good week, yeah, and when I think back to the first day I auditioned, I never would have imagined it would have changed my life.

Being so high on the charts or just in the top three on iTunes. It's crazy that everyone wants more of something I made. It was incredible. My favorite things about you are like you have Beyonce's Halo, but then. You also like this melody and want to create a totally new moment. This whole song is about God's faithfulness. Some of my best memories are growing up singing in church with my family. I became part of my college choir and we. In fact I sang for Sunday mass at the Vatican. None of this would be possible with your own strength.

God will provide for you because he is faithful. I'm sorry. He says I will do everything for you and all you have to do is wake up every morning. It's hard. To explain how you feel when you hear Jordan sing, Stevie Wonder, I feel like Whitney Houston had that power. This is something really special because it is so intimate and beautiful. I love the way you play and sing. I don't think the band should do it. To be playing in this, I think it should be you dressed in a black suit with a big spotlight, all it needs is your conviction and your belief in what you do.

Thanks, we're getting really vulnerable in this song, but so am I. taking risks you are ridiculous thank you this performance is an opportunity for me to really show who I am oh god my father there is no shadow of turning with you you do not change your compassions they fail you have not been now forever you will be the greatest your faithfulness life greatest faithfulness morning after morning new mercies I see in everything I have needed your hair has provided great is your faithfulness faithfulness it is I America saved from the team Adam Jordan Smith is the first in your top 11. come on mom hello guys I have to bring my mom she allowed me discover my love for music and I owe everything to her for that well he was like he was four or five years old and we had family gatherings we've only been there for two minutes so he's already telling stories he came up with this band of imaginary friends called the singing lizards yeah mom please like you're being a total mom right now well i have news for you i wrote an original song for my recital when i was five and it was called the lizard and the bluebird my mom will attest to this , she's the only one who heard that terrible song, so I'm really excited that you've been on this amazing

journey

that you're inspiring on.

I saw the song and I thought, man, there's a pop song, but. It has a thread that tells your story. I have had problems in life with self-image and being different and accepting myself. Everything inside me screams. The lyrics of the song just say: Be true to who you are. There's a lot going on musically if I could just scale it down a ton. I want the voice to be the one that drives. I wouldn't mind stopping, so you're not doing any bands on the first note. That's the heart of the song for me. People want to tell you what to say. what to believe and what to think and you just have to say no, this is what I'm going to be, I'm proud that the song is doing well, I wouldn't change the thing, so don't let anyone get in your Listen to anything, check out Your mother, yes, I will experiment, I will get in trouble if I don't, your son is extraordinarily talented, he hemmed before he could speak, that doesn't surprise me, it's a true story, I look at my reflection in the mirror.

Why am I doing this to myself? I'm losing my mind. No, no, no, don't lose who you are. Just be true to who you are because everything inside me screams. Dreaming is believing that it is okay not to be okay. Sometimes it's difficult. go ahead and leave me alone with a smile that's my heart no no no no no no not team adam jordan smith is moving on that's awesome i just got a shout out from my college choir it's really cool to know they're supporting A Everyone has been so supportive of me, it's been so overwhelming.

This is a big week for me. The top 10 is something very important. It's going to take a lot of hard work, focus and a lot of time to make sure I'm making the song. of justice I'll be ready Adam, you've broken the top ten on iTunes literally every week with no pressure, right, I've misguided you yet, buddy, you haven't, I think you're one of the best singers in the world and I really am. excited because this is one of my favorite songs, it's the only thing that in your moments of joy you are like hallelujah but in your moments of sadness it's like I have to hold on to what I had in the good times of my life and I think that's what I get is what the song is about for me, it's amazing for me, this is the best way to get to the end and I want you to make sure you have the right arc, okay, I have to start this performance with all my heart to feel that connection with everyone, what?

What would happen if we had a violin solo or a cello solo? I think it's a great idea, there's a sort of choral feeling to it, very much like haunting, let's add like a big hollow kick, okay? The song needs to start small, grow and get big, that's the key for this one I've seen. I think Jordan can do anything that can make people feel and make people excited about him, so he's pretty spectacular, hallelujah, I think. which is the perfect choice for this moment, okay, tell you this, I heard that there was a secret coin that David played and it pleased the lord, but you don't really know it, the bewildered king composed hallelujah, your faith was strong but you needed proof. you saw her bathing on the ceiling in a beauty in the light through her eyes she tied you to a kitchen chair she broke your throne and cut your hair and from your lips she took baby I used to live alone before I knew you, it's a broken Halloween hallelujah from Team Adam Jordan Smith.

My experience with the voice is unforgettable. I've made so many wonderful friendships and I would never have believed you if you had told me six months ago that I would have a song.on the iTunes charts, sorry you have to settle for number two, I know annoying Adele is still with youI know she's just sitting there like hey hey, I think we've earned ourselves a week to expand because I think this song has more pep in his step this morning as he grew. I love Freddie Mercury's voice. I think it's amazing and it's really cool for me to be able to sing one of his songs from someone who I've literally looked up to since I was a kid.

I renounced my Jewish faith. They have saved me. Alright. I had the crazy idea of ​​doing it with the choir. Yes. Let it be more of a moment, okay, I love being in a choir and the participation of a choir in this excites me even more. I'm speaking like a real gospel choir. You know, we need to have some fun and this is the perfect time. way to do it jordan is unstoppable you would think he couldn't impress us even more but when he lets it go it's ridiculous it's like kobe bryant michael jordan lebron james of the voice it's incredible it's like magic you know look a little aguilera that's like someone wants you to turn completely crazy okay let's take it home it's so good I love it someone takes it to tears they say I'm going crazy they say I have too much water on my brain oh I have no common sense oh I just have to get out one day I'll be free for me, someone too, hey me, team adam, wow, jordan smith, congratulations before the vocals, I was working two jobs to put myself through college and getting up on that stage was such an overwhelming feeling.

For me, all four chairs turned. What did it feel like to get that validation? It was just amazing. I've worked so long and hard and I've had to deal with being different and showing that it's beyond what's on the outside. I remember when I saw you. act, I thought to myself, this guy is just a special guy, the world needs a person like you, I think you are the most important person to ever be on this show, once you go live, your playoff song is beyonce, that's how you go To open up to America, you'd do a five-week run that we've never had on the show in the top ten on the iTunes charts, two of which were number one.

I didn't even think of it as a statement, I just knew it. These were songs that I connected with in my heart and that performance from the queen, that note you played, you dug deep. I think the best performance in the history of the show. There has been a lot of talk about you being the favorite, but there is still a bigger one. night of music there couldn't be a more fitting final song for you than this climb every mountain the kind of person jordan is and the way he sings lends itself to this message it's about chasing your dreams but also making them it's in a way very inspiring, there's a lot of heart in it and all of Jordan's heart, so it's perfect, follow every rainbow it has to be big and powerful every time, it's okay, we're still fighting, there's always this pressure to live up to it what did you do. last week you'll never want to like Peak which is funny because we're talking about climbing all the mountains oh so I see what you did there I see what you did if I'm not the voice winner I still know I I found myself. thinking I know I was born for this now as a moment I can stand up and show the world who I am and you too can be who you are, what people love about you is something beyond your talent, it's just your ability to Get inspired and that inspires people.

This experience has absolutely changed my life. I'm very proud of you. Thank you. Climb every mountain. Search high and low. Follow everyone every day on each mountain until you find your dreams while living on each mountain. until you find your dreams every mountain until you find your dream day never give up I'm so proud of you it's been a really fun collaborative effort it's been fun settling into the rhythm of performing each week and choosing new things doing it right, that's it the only thing you need to focus on, it can be easy to get caught up in all of this but you've kept your cool which I always think is the cornerstone for anyone who is successful on the show and now we're getting to this Beach classic Boys Only God knows the best song ever written I think it's the most beautiful, heartbreaking, inspiring melody I've ever heard.

I may not always love you, but as long as there are stars above you, my beach is wise, do it. I love how there is. like a little rub, it's wonderful and it sounds great when it's not perfect, let's leave it pretty, let's leave it loose, goose and organic, and that's how I think, like being true to the original, I love it in unison, it sounds nice together. We should go and take this show on the road, man, let's do it, we'll call it Adam and Jordan. Wow, awesome, we sound like the fucking Beach Boys and you've made a lot of recordings here too.

I put it in our room five. song maps here i wrote that song here the song i did with gwen i recorded here probably half of the records i've been on yeah i know this studio well it's been a lot of fun working together all season but i think it's It's also a great opportunity to be able to say that I've done this with you as my coach and I get to sing a duet with Jordan Smith, future winner of the voice or whatever, sweet, he's a good man, it's crazy, that's all. I won't always love you, but as long as there are stars above you, you'll never have to doubt it.

I'll make it so sure. Only God knows what it would be like without you. If you ever leave me, life will go on. In believe me, then what would be the point of living? Only God knows, ah, only God knows what it would be like without you. So what's the point, only God knows what it would be like without you, not only does he only know, Mary, did you know your baby would be one? Day walk on water Where did you know that your baby would save our sons and daughters? Did you know your baby was blind?

Did you know that your baby had the face of? Did you know the earth again? Maria Did you know that your baby? one day he would rule the nations. Did you know where the winner of the voice is? Jordan Smith you
