“Adam notoriously does not turn for his own song,” coach Kelsea Ballerini told the 20-year-old contestant.
A contestant on Season 27 of “The Voice” got all four coaches to turn their chairs during the show’s premiere episode on Feb. 3 episode.
Grace-Miller Moody, who stepped on stage singing “Sunday Morning” by Maroon 5, wowed coaches Levine, John Legend, Michael Bublé and Kelsea Ballerini with her vocal skills.
“Adam notoriously does not turn for his own song,” Ballerini told the 20-year-old contestant from Florence, South Carolina, on the show. “So, you have broken the code.”
Bublé then tried to predict what Levine would tell Moody to convince her to be on his team.
“I’m going to say all the things that Adam is about to say to you. This is the greatest I’ve ever heard one of my songs sung. You are amazing!” Bublé jokes.
“Tell me what to say so that I can be your coach and be with you as you become a worldwide superstar,” he adds.
Legend also tried to get Moody on his team. When the “Green Light” singer made his pitch, he joked about Levine’s experience on the show.
“Obviously, all of us feel like we’re at a disadvantage. It’s been a long time since Adam has been on ‘The Voice’ and he’s quite likely very, very rusty,” Legend says. “You’ll need someone that’s got more recent experience and will understand how it’s been on the show for the last 10 seasons, and not how it was way back in the ancient era.”
Just as Levine was getting ready to share his pitch, he got interrupted by Ballerini, who pressed a button on her chair that let out a jab from former “Voice” coach Blake Shelton.
“Adam’s a big baby,” Shelton could be heard saying, along with a few other disses, such as “Adam won’t shut up” and “Adam, you say a lot of stupid stuff.”
Ballerini explained that she got her button modified for moments when she “really needed some backup.”
“You know what that reminds me of? My long pedigreed history here on ‘The Voice,'” Levine joked to Legend.
After a quick laugh, Levine then directed his attention towards Moody and said he could help her win the show because her potential is “limitless.”
“There was just something about what you were doing that was so infectious, and so lovable and so soulful,” he said. “You can absolutely go all the way and win this thing.”
Ballerini also expressed how she would love to be Moody’s coach. She said that while turning her chair alongside three of her “favorite artists” is “terrifying,” Moody is “worth it.”
After hearing from all the judges, to most likely no one’s surprise, Moody chose to be on Levine’s team.
“I’m going to go with Adam,” she said.
