UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 24 coach Niall Horan was stunned by Azan Hysn's performance in the Battles round with Taylor Deneen. Therefore, after John Legend announced Taylor as the winner, Niall chose to press the steal button for Azan.

However, along with him Reba McEntire also pressed the button. Niall was so happy after pressing the steal button that for a short period of time he did not notice Reba also pressed the button and now he will have to compete with her to win Azan.

Niall tried hiding himself as he saw Reba to be the one whom he had to fight with. John Legend claimed, "Niall is a little intimidated."

Niall pulled his pants, and John said from behind "Pull up your big boy pants now."

After each one pitched to steal Azan, Reba made a fist as she said to Niall, "You know, we can battle it out buddy."

Niall refused Reba's offer and said, "No, we won't." John loved seeing Niall and Reba feud to steal Azan. He said, "I'm so happy" with a wicked smile on his face.

Niall Horan calls 'The Voice' singer Azan Hysn a 'dark horse'

As Niall pitched himself for Azan to choose him, he said that he had no one like her on his team.

The One Direction singer claimed, "Azan, I always felt that was going to be a tough one for John."

He went on to add, "I have no one like you on my team, since I have on 'The Voice' to be honest." Niall then dubbed Azan a "dark horse," saying, "ou're dangerous." 

This made John laugh and Azan blushed as she said, "Thank you so much."

'The Voice' Season 24 Battles: Who is Azan's new coach?

Reba said that she pressed the steal button for Azan as she needed one more chance to tell Azan how good she was. She was totally taken by the singer's stage presence and voice.

After both the coaches' pitches it was Azan's decision to pick one in between two "fine suitors." Azan was clearly in a tough spot as she was asked to pick between Niall and Reba as her new coach.

She said, "This is so hard." She then closed her eyes and said, "I'll say Niall." Indeed, Niall is Azan's new coach. After picking up Niall, Azan said, "I love you Reba, I'm sorry."
