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.

It wasn't just Gwen who was moved by Brayden's performance. Several 'The Voice' fans took to the show's YouTube clip of his performance to express how they too were moved to tears by the teen's vocals. A fan commented, "I'm in tears, Brayden did so good :')." "Fabulous.... made me cry," wrote another fan. "So natural, sweet, honest. I can hear the pain in his vocal, kinda pulls my heart out of my chest. He's got a lot of potential. Gwen was smitten near the end," pointed out a fan. "Very hard to have that natural cry in your voice but Brayden knocked it out the park! So believable! It was beautiful," added a fan.

"Brayden killed this song one of his best performances yet so emotional, and heartfelt Blake is doing amazing job coaches him," expressed a fan. "Brayden with a great song choice for his voice, he may be a pop singer but he definitely nailed that country song by one of my favorite male country singers Brett Young! I just love it!" shared a fan. "Brayden just killed that song...Blake looking on like he was a proud papa. Pop Country is his lane," observed a fan.
