Emily Ann&#8217;s interpretation of Womack&#8217;s 2000 country classic closely mirrors the original, as she effortlessly hits even the most challenging notes.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2 last:mb-0\">\u201cCountry music is something that I absolutely love with all my heart,\u201d the young artist expresses after her captivating performance. \u201cBlake would be a good connection into that\u2026\u201d she trails off, prompting Levine to interject.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2 last:mb-0\">Levine argues that if she chooses his team over Shelton&#8217;s, he could always seek Shelton&#8217;s advice if needed.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2 last:mb-0\">\u201cWhy would you choose a coach who might turn around and ask me how to guide you?\u201d Shelton counters.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2 last:mb-0\">The two coaches continue to debate before Emily Ann ultimately selects Shelton as her coach. She went on to reach the finals of Season 9, narrowly losing to that season&#8217;s champion, Jordan Smith.<\/p>\n<p class=\"mb-2 last:mb-0\">You can watch her rendition of \u201cI Hope You Dance\u201d in the video below.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The Voice 2015 Blind Audition Emily Ann Roberts I Hope You Dance\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/BHM_sUqdH2k\" width=\"350\" height=\"235\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"350\" data-origheight=\"235\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p><strong>Don\u2019t forget to hit the SHARE BUTTON to share this video on Facebook with your friends and family.<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"code-block code-block-5\"><ins id=\"982a9496-b311b79504917dc52061cdfc73ee7ecd-7-6095\" class=\"982a9496\" data-key=\"b311b79504917dc52061cdfc73ee7ecd\"><ins id=\"982a9496-b311b79504917dc52061cdfc73ee7ecd-7-6095-1\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"div-gpt-ad-1739783943283-0\" data-google-query-id=\"CIbQoajizYwDFeTREQgdxyQPqg\">\n<div id=\"google_ads_iframe_\/21715635079\/MB_CBV_newsanchor360.com_0__container__\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><ins class=\"adsbygoogle\" data-ad-format=\"autorelaxed\" data-ad-client=\"ca-pub-9378724246417115\" data-ad-slot=\"5598019025\" data-adsbygoogle-status=\"done\" data-ad-status=\"unfilled\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"aswift_8_host\"><\/div>\n<p><\/ins><\/ins><\/ins><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Adam Levine and Blake Shelton engage in a fierce competition to persuade 16-year-old Emily Ann Roberts to join their teams after her impressive performance of Lee Ann&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14966,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-14965","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.2 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>A \u2018Voice\u2019 finalist stepped up to the mic and delivered a soul-shaking cover of \u2018I Hope You Dance\u2019 that left the judges frozen in their seats.
