No bells. No whistles. Adam Levine clearly knows what we all do: Jordan Smith is a winner who needs no tricks.

So when it came time for the Maroon 5 frontman to pick a song for his Voice finalist, he chose The Beach Boys' "God Only Knows," a simple tune done with precision and care. The results were heavenly.

Reaction from fans to this song choice was mixed, but here's why it was a wise choice: We're well aware of what Smith can do vocally -- see: last week's "Somebody to Love" -- so why not choose a song that almost audaciously simple? Wow the crowd with technique, not the volume of your voice.
