Preparation

Usher chose “Stay With Me” by Sam Smith for Josh, since it’s older but still sounds very current. He knows that the song is very intimate, but he wants Josh to take control of the space. And so he wants Josh to jog around the stage, which Josh feels is indicative of Usher’s “unique coaching style.” Usher feels that while Josh is an incredible vocalist, it needs to be about his presence now. In Usher’s eyes, this could be a great way for Josh to formally introduce himself to America.

Coach Comments

	Adam Levine: Adam admits he’s stupid, and feels even stupider every time Josh sings, although he says he gets a minor panic attack when the crowd claps along out of time.
	Shakira: Shakira loved it, praising Josh’s subtlety and restraint in the early going, and giving him props for how the song built.
	Usher: Usher feels Josh is so poised, prepared, and ready. “You have completely made this my night,” he says.
	Blake Shelton: Blake feels Josh is the guy to beat on Team Usher.
