UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: John Legend is ready to call Blake Shelton to complain about his wife and 'The Voice' Season 24 coach, Gwen Stefani.
The October 10 episode of the NBC show began with a Blind Audition from Latin artist, Willie Gomez, whom all coaches were ready to add to their team.
Willie kicked off Tuesday's episode with an exciting performance of Manuel Turizo's 'La Bachata' that drew the support of all four coaches.
When the other judges followed Gwen's initial turn, she was dismayed and said, "I thought I had you!"
"You still have me," Willie said in response.
Gwen complimented Willie on his voice, and John quipped that he was going to phone Blake to inform him that his wife was "flirting."
Gwen stated she had to flirt with Willie to get him on her team because all four of the judges sided with him.
"I really think that you're super gifted, super talented," she told him. "I would love to work with you," she added.
"What a performance!" Niall Horan concurred, complimenting Willie on his stage presence and "full voice."
"You can do all the things you need to do to be a big star... It sounded like, oh, I can hear this guy making a record that would be huge," John remarked, referring to how hugely popular Latin music is throughout the world. "It is pop music in a lot of ways."
Which coach did 'The Voice' Season 24 contestant Willie Gomez pick?
Despite his earlier flirting with Gwen, Willie looked to be won over by John's speech, and he elected to be the latest four-chair turn to join Team Legend.
Willie Gomez, according to John, is the "full package." "I think we have a star here!" exclaims the coach.
"I don't know what else I could have done," Gwen complained as John reveled in his newfound "leyenda" status. "He's really good."
