Jamison's Blind Audition was John Mayer's Gravity, which he rated as an 8.
"I was pretty happy with the performance, but it could have been better because I was very nervous, which held me back from opening up vocally," he revealed.
He said he chose the Mayer song since it was the first one he ever sang in college with a full band.
During the Battle Rounds, Jamison faced off against Jonathan Wyndham while singing Bruno Mars' Young Girls. He gave this performance an 8.
"I wouldn't have wanted to share the stage with anyone else. Our voices worked well together," he shared.
For the Knockout Round Jamison went up against Blessing Offor. Jamison sang (Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay, which he rated as a 7.
He stated, "I wanted to go on stage and showcase that although I'm only 20 years old, I still listen to these classic musicians like Otis Redding; they're who I draw inspiration from. I wanted to give it a modern twist."
For the Live Playoffs Jamison sang Ed Sheeran's Don't, which he rated as a 6.5.
He said, "This was a very important performance for me to have. Vocally, it was lacking, my breathing lost track."
He also revealed this performance was his "rebirth" as a performer.
His Top 12 performance was Nick Jonas' Jealous that he gave a 10.
"It was the first time that everything felt right," he revealed about that performance.
Up next, he rated his Top 10 performance of Uptown Funk as a 7.
Jamison said he was in his own head a lot during this performance, but revealed, "I had fun, and it felt good towards the end of the song."
He rated his Top 8 performance of Sexual Healing as an 8.
"I felt like vocally it showed off what I could do, and I've been wanting to sing Marvin Gaye because it's exactly the style of music I want to sing," Jamison shared.
Jamison landed in the bottom during that round so he had one more shot and sang Georgia on My Mind, which pushed him through to the next round. He gave his performance of Georgia on My Mind a 10. He said it was one of his best performances vocally.
Jamison sang Sugar during the Top 5 and rated it as an 8. He revealed he did indeed go to Levine and suggested it. He admitted he thought he sounded better during the rehearsals of it though.
He also sang When I Was Your Man during the Top 5. He rated it as a 10. Jamison said he surprised himself with hitting that high note.
"On that stage in that moment, the way it felt I can't describe to you - effortless, free, incredible," he divulged.
He gave his finale performance of Cry Me a River a 10 too.
"This was a great way for me to end my run on the show, because it showcased the artist that I'm going to be after the show," Jamison shared.
He rated his original song, Velvet, as a 6 since he said, "I felt like something was missing in the performance. I envisioned it going a lot better than it actually did."
