"Brought us back together"— The Voice season 27 contestant Grace-Miller Moody details how Maroon 5 brought her family back together
In The Voice season 27 premiere, 20-year-old Grace-Miller Moody sang Maroon 5's Songs About Jane as part of her blind auditions. Ahead of her performance, the singer opened up about the impact Adam Levine's band Maroon 5 had on her family while her brother battled Leukemia.
She said her brother, Shott was diagnosed with Leukemia at the age of 7 and had to go through chemotherapy for four years. She recalled that he could get exhausted by it. The Voice season 27 contestant added that the family took a trip to Las Vegas after Shott was done with Chemotherapy.
"We went to a Maroon 5 concert. It brought up back together after Shott was hospitalized, so it would be a beautiful full circle moment to see Adam Levine tuen his chair," Grace said.
While speaking about her choice of song, Grace said that she was nervous to sing it in front of Adam but needed one coach to believe in her.
As she started singing, all four coaches turned for her while Kelsea noted that Adam "notoriously" did not turn for his songs. She told Grace that she had "broken the code" while John Legend noted that the rest of The Voice season 27 coaches were at a "disadvantage."
He added that it had been "a long time" since Adam Levine had been on the show. In an attempt to get Grace to pick him as her coach, John Legend added that it was possible Adam was "very, very rusty." The coach said Grace would need someone with more recent experience.
"And you understand how it's been on the show for the last 10 seasons, and not how it was way back in the ancient era," Legend added.
Adam told Grace he loved her and said she had "great taste in music." He told her he could help get The Voice season 27 singer where she needed to go because her potential was "limitless." Grace ultimately chose Adam Levine and became a part of Team Adam.
Fans of the reality show praised Grace's audition online but were not surprised she chose Adam Levine as her coach.
Episodes of The Voice season 27 will be available to stream on Peacock the day after they release on NBC.
