LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Team Blake's Brayden Lape may just be 16-year-old, but that hasn't stopped the teenager from delivering an extremely moving performance to Brett Young's 'Mercy' on 'The Voice' Season 22. Brayden's emotionally charged performance during the knockouts round left celebrity coach Gwen Stefani in tears.

As Brayden crooned to 'Mercy' which he dedicated to his father, Gwen could be seen wiping away her tears. After his performance, the coach couldn't stop having about how beautiful he sounded. Brayden was pitted against his fellow Team Blake members- Austin Montgomery and Eva Ullman. Though Austin and Eva delivered an equally good performance, when it was time for Blake Shelton to pick a winner, he immediately chose Brayden. The OG coach felt that the teenager had a lot of untapped potential waiting to be discovered.
