Surefire ways to wow The Voice coaches: Sing your heart out and take on a wildly popular song with a new spin. That's what Jordan Smith and Amy Vachal did on Monday night's show. Smith, who is considered the frontrunner in the competition, brought coach Gwen Stefani to tears with his rendition Selah's "Great is Thy Faithfulness." He opened with an acapella verse that he told us was "difficult, scary and very nerve racking, but in the moment it felt completely right." Smith, who is part of Adam Levine's team, said moving Stefani to tears is quite the accomplishment. "I just think that as artists, one of the greatest things we can do is move someone with our music, with our art. I would compare it to anyone doing their work, anyone wants to be good at what they do, and ultimately most people want to help people. Even though we're not doctors, or in the field, firefighters, policemen, I think we want to do what we can to help people," Smith told us. "The greatest thing we can know as artists is that someone was moved by what we did, and they enjoyed something that we did, but they were also touched by it, and also helped them in some ways. So, I'm really honored she was affected in that way, and that I could help her and anybody else that kind of needed that." Smith's teammate on Team Adam, Vachal, took on Drake's hit song "Hotline Bling" with a haunting rendition and roused the audience and coaches alike. However, it wasn't her choice to do the song; it was Levine's.
