Team Blake Performs For a Spot in ‘The Voice’ Finals, Jordan Smith Brings House Down – Top 9 Recap [VIDEOS]
More than half will go home one step before 'The Voice' finals as the top 9 becomes the final four. Barrett Babar and Zach Seabaugh from Team Blake, turned pop country and Emily Ann Roberts turned a classic cool. But it was Jordan Smith who stole the night with his performance of Queen's 'Somebody to Love.'
Jordan Smith - Somebody to Love
Backed by a gospel choir, Jordan Smith gave a Grammy worthy performance of Queen's 'Somebody to Love.' The crowd and coaches were on their feet.
Levine walked on stage, grabbed Smith's mic and let it drop. "I don't need to say anything. That was the greatest thing I've ever seen."
Levine wasn't the only one blown away. Smith's performance is #1 on iTunes, finally knocking Adele's 'Hello' from the top spot.

Barrett Baber - Ghost
Barrett Baber switched things up, taking a pop song and putting his country soul into it with his performance of Ella Henderson's Ghost.
Give up your ghosts folks! Don't be haunted anymore by anything! Loved doing @EllaHenderson 's "Ghost" for the #VoiceTop9 ! Now go vote!

Adam Levine was impressed with Baber's ability to keep his performance fresh. "I like that it was unpredictable,"
Coach Shelton was ready to see Baber in the finals. "I feel like I just watched you kick in the door to the finale. We need to start thinking about what you're going to do next week. That's how strongly I feel about that."
Justin Moore even threw his support behind his Arkansas hometown boy.

Zach Seabaugh - The Climb
Zach Seabaugh followed Baber's lead, putting a country spin on a pop tune with his performance of Miley Cyrus' 'The Climb.'
Gwen Stefani liked the performance so much she was a little scared. "I have a feeling you're going through."
Coach Shelton agreed with Gwen. "That was your best performance so far. Perfect timing man."
So proud of @ZachSeabaugh... Vote that boy!!

Emily Ann Roberts - 9 to 5
Emily Ann Roberts performed a song from her idol, Dolly Parton. Her performance of '9 to 5' had not only coach Shelton on his feet but Pharrell, joined him.
"You're going to be making somebody so much money. You have to be going to the finale," Shelton said confidently.
Another great night, @emilyann_music! @NBCTheVoice https://t.co/g7iSdt1uwO

Shelby Brown - Even God Must Get the Blues
Shelby Brown took a risk, singing an unfamiliar song, stressing over her performance of Jo Dee Messina's 'Even Got Must Get the Blues.' All coaches didn't think Brown had anything to worry about. Her timing, confidence and voice were all on point. Coach Adam Levine told Brown, "You have driven me so crazy." "The feeling is mutual," Brown quickly replied. Shelton quickly gave her standing ovation for her smart reply. We're guessing the feeling is mutual for Shelton too.
Even God Must Get The Blues by @jodeemessina is literally my favorite song, and I just got to sing it for my #VoiceTop9 performance!!
