LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Finally, John Legend managed to snag a contestant to his team over Camilla Cabello. The two judges have been competing for quite a while now, with Camilla getting most of the singers to turn to Team Camilla. But with Morgan Taylor's four-chair-turning performance, John won the constant over. Morgon wowed the judges with her performance of the song 'Cause I Love You' by Lizzo.

John turned first, followed by the married duo Blake Shelton and Gwen Stefani, and finally Camilla. He called her voice powerful and complimented her soprano as well as acing the rap bit of the song. Gwen even called her voice 'god gifted' in an attempt to win her over. Blake just stated he would be excited to have her.

Who is Morgan Taylor?

The 20-year-old Morgan Taylor is an Indiana Native. Much to Blake's delight, Morgan hails from Nashville and is exposed to country music much like him. She's been singing and performing since she was a child and studies at Belmont University in Tennessee. She sings many covers of songs by other artists, which she uploads on her social media channels.

After her four-chair-turning performance, judges were all showering praises on the young singer. Camilla pointed out how it was an incredible feat to perform a Lizzo song like that, and Gwen offered to bring out her unique personality while singing. But it was John who won her over, as he does with many other four-chair-turning contestants. He noted how changing the song's structure would help her, and he would be there to aid her in doing so. He compared her to the singing goddess Mariah Carrey and complimented her big voice.



 

Although the judges and many fans raved about Morgan and her stellar vocals, some quickly pointed out how strained, and flat her voice sounded. One fan noted, "Her voice was all over the place." While another commented on the youtube video posted by the show, "Her version was good but Tamara Jade owned this song." A fan called out how breathless she got with, "She needs to control her voice a little more, She was going breathless on the low notes and went out of pitch a couple of times" And another just plain disapproved of her by saying, "4 chairs? I hear lots of FLATS!!" One commenter noted how she got all four chairs to turn while fellow contestant Dominic got none; according to him, "How she get 4 turns n Dominic got none? She wasn't creative n was pitchy and she squealed a few times. And Dominic had great control, and a great voice. Just saying. She was good but so was he." One fan was a little kinder with the critique and wrote, "Great voice with potential. Honestly though this felt all over the place. Pitchy and felt like the breath control was way off... Can't wait for her next performance though!"
