2015: The Year of the Hymn on The Voice

Tonight, Jordan Smith as part of the Top 12 performed "Great is Thy Faithfulness;" last week Emily Ann Roberts performed "In the Garden."
 

Rather than taking on another pop hit, this week Smith reached back to his roots by performing a hymn, Not only did Smith's own powerful voice carry the song, but he was the only musician of the piece, accompanying himself on the piano. 

"Coming off the weekend and the horrible things that happened over in Paris and kind of having a heavy heart the past few days," Blake Shelton begins. "Thank you for that. It was beautiful."
