The Coaches: A Star-Studded Panel
Before we jump into the competition, let's meet the coaches who mentored and critiqued the contestants throughout the season. In 2015, the red spinning chairs belonged to:
- Adam Levine, the charismatic lead singer of Maroon 5, making his fifth appearance as a coach. - Blake Shelton, the country superstar who has been a coach since the show's inception. - Pharrell Williams, the multitalented musician and producer, joining the panel for his second season. - Gwen Stefani, the iconic No Doubt lead singer, marking her first year as a coach.
The Blind Auditions: Hitting the Right Notes
The season kicked off with the blind auditions, where contestants performed while the coaches listened with their backs turned. If a coach liked what they heard, they'd hit their button, turning their chair around to invite the singer to join their team. Some standout performances from this round included:
- Jeffery Austin, a soulful singer who captivated all four coaches with his rendition of "I'm Not the Only One" by Sam Smith. - Barrett Baber, a charismatic country singer who had Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani fighting for him after his performance of "Gimme That Girl" by Joe Nichols. - Madi Davis, a powerhouse vocalist who impressed Pharrell Williams with her cover of "Try" by Pink.
The Battles: Coaching and Competition
After the blind auditions, the coaches divided their teams and began mentoring their artists. The next phase, the battles, saw contestants go head-to-head, singing the same song, with their coach choosing the winner to advance to the next round. Some memorable battles included:
- Jeffery Austin vs. Zach Seabaugh on "Chandelier" by Sia, with Adam Levine choosing Jeffery to advance. - Madi Davis vs. Ivonne Acero on "Rise Up" by Andra Day, with Pharrell Williams opting for Ivonne's powerful performance.
The Knockouts: Singing for Their Lives
In the knockouts, contestants performed solo, with their coach choosing the winner based on their performance. This round also introduced the "save" and "steal" mechanisms, allowing coaches to save or steal eliminated contestants from other teams. Notable knockouts included:
- Barrett Baber's emotional performance of "I Drive Your Truck" by Lee Brice, which secured his spot on Team Gwen. - Emily Ann Roberts' stunning rendition of "Fancy" by Reba McEntire, earning her a steal from Blake Shelton after her original coach, Pharrell, let her go.
The Live Shows: The Final Push
The live shows brought the competition to a fever pitch, with contestants performing for America's vote. Each week, the bottom three artists with the fewest votes were put up for elimination, and the coaches and audience voted to save one. The remaining two were sent home, and the process repeated until the finale. Some standout performances from the live shows included:
- Jeffery Austin's show-stopping performance of "Hello" by Adele, which had all four coaches on their feet. - Emily Ann Roberts' powerful rendition of "My Church" by Maren Morris, solidifying her status as a fan favorite.

After weeks of grueling competition, the final four contestants took the stage for the season finale. The top artists performed their hearts out, and America voted for their favorite. When the votes were in, the winner of The Voice Season 9 was revealed as:
Jordan Smith, the powerhouse vocalist from Kentucky who captivated audiences with his incredible range and emotional performances. Throughout the season, Jordan consistently delivered standout performances, from his blind audition of "Chandelier" to his powerful finale performances of "Mary, Did You Know?" and "Somebody to Love" by Queen.
