Why John Legend Called Fellow The Voice Coaches Useless After This Battle Rounds Performance
View Date:2025-01-11 09:57:19
These two The Voice contestants are setting fire to the rain to the stage.
Bryan Olesen and Nathan Chester leave the NBC reality competition series' coaches totally speechless—and stumped—during the Battle Rounds with their cover of "Rolling in the Deep" in E! News' exclusive sneak peek at the show's March 18 episode.
After the hopefuls give a powerhouse performance with a unique take on the Adele hit, their coach John Legend seeks guidance from Reba McEntire, Chance the Rapper and Dan + Shay to help him make the seemingly impossible decision on who to eliminate and who to send to the Knockout Rounds. However, their rave reviews leave him disappointed.
"Bryan, Nathan, that was absolutely incredible," Reba tells the competitors. "That harmony, oh my gosh it was powerful. Your choreography was flawless. Bryan, I love your style. It's a little quirky, that's what I loved about it. Nathan, powerhouse. John, I don't think I'm any help for you buddy, I'm sorry."
Meanwhile, Chance applauds Nathan's "strong personality and great control," but also compliments Bryan's dynamics and range, adding, "You guys are both really powerful vocalists."
"I think either one of you guys could talk the win," the rapper adds. "I think it was a great performance, that's why everyone was screaming."
And after Dan + Shay can't find one negative critique to give to either of the two, John jokingly ribs his fellow coaches.
"Can you imagine a quartet of people more unhelpful than these four people?" the Grammy winner quips. "Obviously you two created this problem by being so incredible. I loved the physical interaction you had with each other. You also really committed to giving this song a refresh. This version sounded like no other version. You were both A+++."
See if Bryan or Nathan wins the Battle Rounds when The Voice airs Monday at 8 p.m. and Tuesday at 9 p.m. on NBC.

Today, the singer-songwriter is still making music. She just released the lyric video for her new single Pages.
"[Pages] is an anti-oppression song," she said. "I can only write my story and this is mine. I felt my whole life from reading a few lines in a book would make me go to hell for who I loved. It was ingrained in me as a kid."
Jason Warrior sang a cover of Rihanna's "Love on the Brain" in a way that gave audience chills. Unfortunately, that wasn't enough to keep the singer, who was eliminated in the live playoffs.

But no worries, the singer has not stopped making music. He released his latest single, "Walking With You" in early February and plans to embark on a tour later this year.

Since their eliminations, Linsey has been releasing music and touring around the country. Hawthorne went on to sign with RCA Inspiration, and released her debut album Unstoppable which earned her a Grammy nomination.
Matt McAndrew gave a beautiful performance of Christina Perry's "A Thousand Years," which earned him a spot on Team Adam. The runner-up that season, had signed with Republic Records before announcing their split in early 2016.

With a blind audition that has over 1 million views on YouTube, Sisaundra Lewis gave a stunning performance of Aretha Franklin's "Ain't No Way," in a performance that turned all four judges' chairs. After choosing Team Blake, she was sent home in a shocking elimination home during the live rounds.

A name you might be familiar with, singer Melanie Martinez got her big break on The Voice and was a stand out on Team Adam. Sadly, she was eliminated during the live shows.
But since then, she has gone on to sign with Atlantic Records, where her debut album Cry Baby went on to be certified platinum!
