Matthew Schuler picked “Story of My Life,” by One Direction. Coach Aguilera was pleased with his song choice and mentioned that Schuler always has a way of making each song his own. Levine added that he is great and that since his performance of “Hallelujah,” it has become hard for Schuler to out sing himself.
