"He really does care. He brings lots of awesome ideas to the table as well. I guess I’m not surprised, but I really didn’t have any expectations going into this whole process… all I can say is, I’m really really glad that I chose him to be my coach, and I am equally as glad that he has continued to choose me to move forward in each round of the competition thus far!"

Bodie is part of Blake Shelton's team on The Voice - and is loving every moment!

On working with Blake on his last season of the show, Bodie added: "Blake truly is the patriarch of the Voice. Being that he is leaving the show soon, I really am honored to be a small part of Voice history by being a part of his team in such a large way!"

"Funny, perceptive and humble," meanwhile, were the words used to describe him.

Bodie is having the time of his life on the show, and reflected on the best thing so far. "I’d say a major thing that I am very thankful for is the affirmation that I have received from the coaches.

Hearing legendary artists comment on your craft in such a positive way was both unexpected and extremely encouraging," he shared.

Blake Shelton is so personable and supportive, according to Bodie

"Secondly, is the amount of growth in my vocal ability. I never thought I would grow so much in such a short amount of time. I’m hitting notes that I couldn’t hit six months ago."

Bodie has found a newfound fan base on The Voice

"I have the most incredible support system back home, and I am so very thankful for them. From my incredible wife and my adorable kids, to my extremely supportive church family, I've never felt so supported and loved."

Bodie has a great attitude towards winning the competition too.

"Win or lose, I know I was put on this earth to do what I do - create, and perform. No matter if I win the show, or go home next week, I will walk away with so much growth and encouragement, so many new connections and friendships, and a new understanding for what my voice can do. And not to mention an incredible new fan base!"
