"The Voice contestant Jordis Unga has said that she is going back to her musical roots after dabbling in various genres through the years.  The 29-year-old musician wowed coaches Blake Shelton, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green on Monday night (February 13) with her blind audition performance of &amp;#039;Maybe I&amp;#039;m Amazed&amp;#039;.  She opted to join Team Blake.   Speaking to reporters on a conference call, she said: &amp;quot;When I hit that stage I just wanted to do what was in my heart, and it came off really well, I think. I chose Blake because he said everything I needed to hear and turned around before I did anything I thought might get people to turn around. &amp;quot;He heard something genuine in the soft part of my voice and I really like that about him. I think the base of what I am doing is my intention of going back to the roots of where I came from and why I love music in the first place.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;I think working with Blake could bring out something that maybe would never even have occurred to me, so in the moment it was an easy choice.&amp;quot;  Watch Jordis Unga&amp;#039;s audition below:   During the call, Unga also joked about challenging fourth coach Adam Levine on why he didn&amp;#039;t press his button, saying: &amp;quot;When I watched it I was like, &amp;#039;I cant believe I said that to him! How rude! What was I thinking?&amp;#039;&amp;quot; However, she went on to explain that before taking to the stage host Carson Daly had told her that &amp;#039;Maybe I&amp;#039;m Amazed&amp;#039; is one of the Maroon 5 frontman&amp;#039;s favorite songs. &amp;quot;I was genuinely curious about what I had missed for him,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;If it is one of his favorite songs it makes sense to me he&amp;#039;d hold it close to his heart and look carefully to what I was doing and be critical of that.&amp;quot;  Unga previously appeared on the CBS reality series Rock Star: INXS and told reporters that she is thankful for all the opportunities she has received in the industry.  &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s been such a journey for me to keep doing music for a living,&amp;quot; she said. &amp;quot;Not a lot of people get as many chances as I&amp;#039;ve gotten and to be in this position again, I&amp;#039;m so thankful and overwhelmed and it means a lot to me to be here.&amp;quot; She added: &amp;quot;I think it means a lot to the people who have followed me throughout the years through all my successes and all my failures.  &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m holding on tight to this one and taking it as far as I can for sure. It feels really, really, really, really good to be here.&amp;quot; As for the future, she said her main focus right now is returning to &amp;quot;why [she] started doing music in the first place&amp;quot; and performing songs that listeners can relate to. &amp;quot;That&amp;#039;s always been my gift as a musician, to really pull at people&amp;#039;s heart strings. That&amp;#039;s what I enjoy about doing what I do - the emotion and everything about that.&amp;quot; The Voice airs Mondays at 8/7c on NBC Watch Jordis Unga introduce herself below:   Browse a gallery of photos from the latest blind auditions below: "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
