  • Jordan Smith: “The Voice” Contestant Trumps Adele on iTunes, Advances to “Voice” Finale

    Jordan Smith, one of Adam Levine’s contestants on The Voice, beat out Adele on iTunes with his rendition of Queen’s “Somebody to Love,” as performed on Monday night’s show.

    Prior to Smith’s trending performance, Adele held the top spot with her new hit song “Hello.”

    “I don’t need to say anything at all because that’s one of the best things I’ve ever seen in my entire life,” Adam Levine said following Smith’s performance. He was also fist pumping as Jordan Smith belted out the tune, accompanied by a large gospel choir.

    It was just 30 minutes after Jordan Smith’s performance that his version of the Queen hit dethroned Adele, who had been in the number one spot for five weeks.

    The excitement continues for Jordan Smith. On Tuesday’s episode of The Voice, he learned he has been voted on to the finale as one of four remaining contestants.

    Jordan Smith is from Harlan, Kentucky. He is a 21-year-old Lee University student who loves performing in his school’s choir.

    Smith has nothing but wonderful things to say about his coach, Adam Levine.

    “He is super involved as a coach,” he told People magazine recently. “That’s not an act. He was just talking to us about our next song choices and takes the time to listen through songs and find the right fit for us.”

    Jordan Smith says he’d love to win, but that he’d be thrilled for any of his fellow contestants should they take the top spot instead.

    “We have grown close,” he said. “I’d be thrilled to win myself, but just as thrilled for one of these ladies or anyone on any of the other teams to win. I think this is a great opportunity and everyone here is deserving of it.”

    Did you catch Jordan Smith’s performance on The Voice Monday night? If so, you’re likely not surprised at all to learn he is one of the final four contestants.

  • Sheryl Crow to Highlight ‘The Voice’ Finale on Tuesday

    Sheryl Crow is just one of the top performers who will take the stage at The Voice finale on Tuesday evening. The show has a history of bringing in exceptional guest singers, and the finale will be no exception.

    Entertainment Weekly reports that Maroon 5, Kelly Clarkson, Luke Bryan, John Fogerty, Ed Sheeran, and Meghan Trainor are all part of the lineup that now includes Sheryl Crow.

    It was back in 2013 when Sheryl Crow last appeared on The Voice, when she served as a mentor for Blake Shelton’s team during season four. She also performed her song ‘Easy’ during that appearance.

    Last week The Voice had a star-studded group of performers. Nate Ruess, Snoop Dogg, and Walk the Moon all visited the show during its semi-finals and gave stellar performances–right along with the contestants.

    Since Sheryl Crow will take the stage on The Voice just ahead of the summer season, some are speculating whether or not she’ll perform one of her oldies but goodies, ‘Soak Up the Sun.’

    No matter what she sings, Sheryl Crow will thrill the audience–as they await Wednesday’s results to learn who wins this season of The Voice.

  • “The Voice” Winner: Usher Talks About iTunes Mixup

    “The Voice” has amassed a huge following over the last six seasons, with fans tuning in by the millions to watch the finale on Tuesday night. Unfortunately for many, a technical mistake threw the entire episode into question and caused some controversy during the big night.

    iTunes reportedly had winner Josh Kaufman’s hit cover of “Set Fire To The Rain” listed as an album and not a single, which made it difficult to find on the site. Because iTunes sales factor in to the final decision, many fans were worried that Kaufman wouldn’t get credit for the purchases.

    “The night got pretty stressful and I was worried about how that was going to affect everything and, of course, I don’t know. I had no idea how it would affect it and for all I knew it wouldn’t. It’s just kind of that feeling of, ‘Wait a minute, what’s going on? How do I deal with this?’ But I know there were so many people working behind the scenes to figure it all out, and they did,” Kaufman said.

    Winning coach Usher said he was ready for the title after five seasons of watching Adam Levine and Blake Shelton dominate things.

    “It was every bit of what I hoped for. Losing was not an option. I couldn’t imagine walking away this season after seeing season after season [of] Blake and Adam winning. I think that Josh really put up an incredible performance and night as an artist in this competition. Though there had been, I guess, a glitch, it is undeniable that he is The Voice,” Usher said.

    Executive producer Mark Burnett assured viewers–as well as Kaufman–that he was the rightful winner of the talent competition, saying he was the clear winner.

    “You still clearly won and as per the rules, we can remove any form of voting and you remove that and you still clearly and convincingly won. Every way you ever look at it, this guy is the winner of The Voice.”
