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."

NBC introduces 'new twist' to 'The Voice' Season 24

Host Carson Daly revealed a "new twist" in 'The Voice' Season 24. He said towards the end of Tuesday's episode, "We're changing the rules."

Carson claimed that each coach will be allowed to save one artist ahead of the Playoffs. The coaches can ring back singers from any team.

This will indeed raise the number of artists competing in Playoffs to be Season 24's winner.
