When The Voice winners returned to the show recently, the one performance that everyone was talking about was Jordan Smith’s transcendent take on Sia’s “Chandelier.” The man with the golden voice was in fine form and dropped some creamy falsettos in the chorus that had the audience squealing with delight. Fans said it felt like 2015 all over again, and they were loving the nostalgia shot. Kelly Clarkson was just as stoked, and she jumped to her feet and started grooving along when he hit that iconic chorus.
Jordan’s voice is just a force of nature. Listen to that mind-blowing high note at 1:40. The incredible vocal runs just keep coming – absolutely nobody does it like Jordan. Many fans consider him to be the greatest talent to ever emerge from The Voice, and it’s easy to understand why when he’s capable of delivering performances like this. The Music Man has to say it felt real good to see Jordan back on The Voice stage, and you can see everyone in the room felt exactly the same way.
The Voice uploaded Jordan’s comeback on April 7, 2026, where it hit a big 516,000 views within a week. Fans gave big props below the video, adding comments such as “Jordan, the best singer ever on The Voice!!! I can listen to him over and over. He is the only one I think from The Voice that I go back and listen to all his songs from his season” and “I don’t know how he is not a global music superstar, it’s just insane how good he is.”
The Voice recently uploaded Jordan’s 2015 audition in HD, and it’s a perfect time to revisit the classic performance, which featured his take on “Chandelier.” The effect the Kentucky talent has on people is really something. Just watch Gwen Stefani’s reaction at 1:08 when she turns her chair, and how she was so excited she just had to hug him at the end of the performance. The look that Pharrell Williams gave her after her chair turn just said it all, like he was saying “Yeah, he’s the real deal.”
Jordan was just 21 years old when he auditioned on The Voice. He became an instant viral sensation thanks to his hit audition on “Chandelier,” where he turned all four judges’ chairs. He went on to win season nine of The Voice. The Music Man readers might be interested to hear that during his run on the show, he scored three number one hits on the US Christian chart with his competition singles. Jordan’s greatest chart success after The Voice was his 2016 debut album, Something Beautiful, which hit number two on the US Billboard 200.
