Blake Shelton is the first coach to turn his chair around, followed by Pharrell and Gwen Stefani. Adam Levine takes the most convincing, scrutinizing the contestant’s voice before deciding to spin around. Stefani immediately runs up to give Smith a hug after he finishes singing and all four coaches make it clear they want him. But in the end, Smith chooses Levine. The Maroon 5 singer was clearly overjoyed about his new mentee, quickly posting about Smith on Twitter. “Jordan!!!! Are you a unicorn? Did I just find a unicorn?,” he tweeted. > [](https://twitter.com/adamlevine/status/646129050164051968) ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4046574/sia-chandelier-cover-the-voice/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4046574/sia-chandelier-cover-the-voice/"},"headline":"Watch This Cover of Sia's 'Chandelier' Bring Down the House on The Voice","datePublished":"2015-09-23T18:13:56.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:48:06.044Z","description":"He hits that falsetto","url":"https://time.com/4046574/sia-chandelier-cover-the-voice/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Television","celebrities","Music","adam levine","Pharrell","entertainment","Pharrell Williams","TV","The Voice","Sia","gwen stefani"],"thumbnailUrl":"","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4046574/sia-chandelier-cover-the-voice/","name":"Watch This Cover of Sia's 'Chandelier' Bring Down the House on The Voice"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Giorgio Moroder Describes the Perfect Pop Dance Song","description":"At the age of 74, electronic music producer Giorgio Moroder is releasing his first album in three decades.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/J4PWndMR/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-02-06T22:07:47.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/J4PWndMR.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4046574/sia-chandelier-cover-the-voice/","duration":"PT1M15S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4046574/sia-chandelier-cover-the-voice/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
