UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: Lennon VanderDoes' performance in 'The Voice' Season 24 Knockouts made a long-lasting impression on the coaches. But, the one coach who was moved the most was John Legend.

And, with NBC introducing a new twist in the show, fans wonder whether John will save the now-eliminated singer Lennon.

The coach was left sobbing on Tuesday, November 14 night's episode after Lennon was eliminated in the Knockouts. The coach said to the singer that he believed Lennon was the "underdog."

John said, "I just felt you being fully yourself and it felt so moving to me." 

Seeing John sob, Reba McEntire got out of her chair and gave him a tissue to wipe his tears. 

She joked about it saying, "Always prepared." John later told Gwen Stefani, "I'm crying right now."

With tears in her eyes as well, Gwen said, "I have tears in my eyes."
