NBC(To nobody's) Surprise! Jordan Smith is the winner of The Voice season 9. Yes, Team Adam Levine got the top spot once again. Smith beat out Team Gwen Stefani's Jeffery Austin and Team Blake Shelton's Barrett Baber. Team Blake's Emily Ann Roberts was runner-up.
Surrounded by his family, Smith sang "Climb Every Mountain" through tears while Pharrell Williams looked on in awe. Smith was an early favorite in the competition, wowing the judges with his cover of Sia's "Chandelier" during the blind auditions round. He got a four-chair turn.
This was Levine's first win since season five when Tessanne Chin took home the prize. He previously won the first season with singer Javier Colon.
