Poor old The Voice doesn’t get much recognition in the UK, does it? We sort of laughingly include it when we’re talking about reality shows; it got referenced that one time when Rita Ora made the big switcheroo over to The X Factor. Er, that’s about it.
But it’s huge in the States – and no wonder, if newbie Jordan Smith is anything to go by.
The Kentucky singer’s audition has gone viral after he stunned the judges – Adam Levine, Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Williams and Blake Shelton – with his incredible version of Sia’s Chandelier.
All four of them hit the red button to spin around, and Gwen actually screamed when she saw him.
After Jordan had soaked up his standing ovation, he picked Adam to be his mentor for the remainder of the show.
Nice work, Jords. We bet Simon Cowell is plotting to steal you and bring you over to Britain and somehow shoehorn you into The X Factor now.
