Jordan Smith, the 2015 winner of the popular song-contest show “The Voice,” sang for the finale Michael English’s 1991 song, “Mary Did You Know?
Smith is a 22-year-old Kentuckian who attends Lee University, where he participates in the campus choir. (Lee University is located on the original campus of Bob Jones College in Cleveland, Tennessee, and is operated by the Church of God denomination, which combines evangelical, Pentecostal, and Wesleyan influences.)
Earlier in the season Smith also performed “Great Is Thy Faithfulness.”
Slate calls “The Voice” “in its own weird way the most religious show in prime time.”
