'The Voice's Top 12 artists perform, Adam Levine's team member Jordan Smith delivers touching religious vocal

The Voice's Top 12 took the stage and performed live for America's vote Monday night and one artist in particular has all four coaches basically bowing down to him.


In a night of fierce competition, Adam Levine's team member Jordan Smith rose to the occasion with an emotional, touching performance of "Great Is Thy Faithfulness."

Jordan received a standing ovation from Adam, Gwen Stefani, Blake Shelton and Pharrell Williams. The coaches agreed Jordan's singing gives everyone hope and joy. Adam said he felt a sense of rejuvenation through Jordan's vocal, and both he and Blake complimented the artist by just saying "thank you for that."

Two other artists performed on behalf of "Team Adam:" Amy Vachal and Shelby Brown.

Amy sang a jazz version of "Hotline Bling." Pharrell called her ability "uncanny," saying that many people don't have a creative license like her. Adam praised Amy for taking a risk and creating a whole new rendition of the song. Adam insisted the bold risk paid off.


Shelby performed "In Color," and Blake pointed out that although she got a little ahead of the music, she hit an incredible note at the end of the song that made up for it. Adam agreed, saying Shelby recovered incredibly well -- going from a small mistake to having "a moment" onstage.

The following singers performed for "Team Gwen:" Braiden Sunshine, Korin Bukowski and Jeffery Austin.

Braiden sang "Renegade" and it became clear he can perform pretty much anything well. Blake pointed out that he'd love to hear him do a country song.

Korin performed "Titanium" and Gwen explained the song was written for her life. Gwen was so pleased Korin followed through with her vision because she nailed it and looked beautiful as a new platinum blonde.

Jeffery took the stage with "Let It Go." Adam said Jeffery has such a unique, powerful voice with excellent stage presence. Adam admitted Jeffery is a coach's dream because he started the show a good singer and transformed into one of the best on the show. Blake noted Jeffery has "perfect pitch" and could win the whole thing.


Pharrell's team consisted of Madi Davis, Evan McKeel and Mark Hood.

Madi sang "Who Will Save Your Soul." Blake confessed Madi snuck up on him in this competition, and Pharrell couldn't believe her performance at only 16-years-old.

Evan performed "This Is It" and really showed off whom he is as an artist. The coaches said Evan lifts people through song, and Gwen pointed out he truly performs from his heart. Pharrell insisted Evan deserves to go through to the next live show.

Mark sang "Against All Odds" and Gwen loved to see his calm, sensitive side. It was another great performance.

The following artists took the stage on behalf of "Team Blake:" Emily Ann Roberts, Barrett Baber and Zach Seabaugh.


Emily Ann sang "Blame It On Your Heart," and Blake was impressed with how much confidence she's found onstage. The coaches agreed she basically graduated from The Voice and became a real country star.

Barrett sang "Right Here Waiting," and Adam summed it up pretty well by complimenting the singer for his incredible determination and passion.

Zach performed "My Love." Pharrell admitted he has a "crazy range," and Gwen said she can't believe his natural talent at age 17 and believes he'll be a huge star. Blake insisted Zach is one of the only artists in the competition who's truly ready to hop in a bus and go touring already.

The Voice's Top 11 artists will be revealed during Tuesday night's live results show on NBC.
