Could it be Team Legend for the win this season?

Well, looks like John Legend could grab his second win as a coach on 'The Voice' Season 18 after he steals four-chair receiving contestant Thunderstorm Artis to Team Legend making it an epic end to Monday night's episode.

'The Voice' Season 18 returned on Monday night for round 3 of its blind auditions and coaches Blake Shelton, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson and Nick Jonas returned to their chair ready to battle it out for the next best singer on their team. 

There was a unique set of contestants who auditioned on Monday, all having their own range, tone, pitch, genre and style. While it was mostly a rival between Nick and Kelly tonight, the series ended the night with an epic battle where all four coaches turned their chair for Thunderstorm Artis.



 

Thunderstorm Artis is a 23-year-old contestant who hails from Haleiwa, Hawaii. Thunderstorm comes from a musical family and has 10 siblings and each of their names is as unique and hippie and his. His dad was a jazz musician and an artist. He reveals it was his brother who encouraged him to become a solo performer. 

Auditioning, he performed a stunning rendition of 'Blackbird' by The Beatles. In no time, Kelly, Nick, and John all turn their chairs for him. A little later Blake also joins the other three coaches and turned his chair for Thunderstorm. 

His performance was raw and original. He very well has the capacity of making it to the finale. After four pitches and a whole lot of contemplating, Thunderstorm chose John as his coach 

Taking to Twitter fans affirm that this was the right choice, and John has a chance of winning this season. "Thunder is gonna win this thing!!! I feel it!!! Great job!! @johnlegend #VoiceBlinds," a fan wrote. 

"@johnlegend #VoiceBlinds Thunder Storm could win the Voice! He is really good!" a fan shared. Adding to that another said, "I'm gonna go ahead and say this I think @Thunder_artis is gonna win #TheVoice cause wow that performance was amazing! #TeamLegend #VoiceBlinds." 

"My word. @Thunder_artis is going to win this season. Calling it now. #VoiceBlinds," a fan wrote. While another shared, " thunderstorm with Legend just take the trophy now# winner." 

"I’m thinking that young man just won The Voice this season. Wow. If he doesn’t win it, he is still ultra-talented and will be making music we all listen to for years to come,: a fan shared.
