'The Voice' Season 19: Gwen Stefani blocks John Legend to pick Ryan Berg, fans cheer 'You got John good'
'The Voice' Season 19 is back at it again and Gwen Stefani seems to be in a rare mood. When contestant Ryan Berg crooned John Mayer's 'Waiting on the World to Change', not only was Gwen the very first one to press the buzzer and turn her chair around but she also blocked John Legend to make sure she is the one who picks Ryan Berg.
John was unaware of Gwen's action until he turned around and the disappointment was clearly visible on his face. Gwen even showed-off a few moves to make John jealous saying, “C’mon, I deserve it.” While talking to the blind audition singer Ryan Berg from Dallas, Texas, Gwen jokingly said, “Wow, you have no choice. You are stuck with me.”
In behind the stage scenes, it was revealed that Ryan's mom is a lesbian and how he wanted to do everything for her. The world of Twitter also seemed impressed with the singer’s skills. One user said, “Ryan Berg. We get a blind take. Great sincere opening with a distinct vocal tone. Some gruff poking thru the clarity. He’s got rhythmic timing. Enjoyed this. Simple and sweet. #TheVoice”
Another user spoke about Gwen blocking John and said, “You got John good!” Expressing the same feeling, one user added, “Nice Block Gwen!” One Twitter spoke about Blake Shelton’s gesture for Gwen and posted, “blakeshelton to the rescue! That’s what you do for someone you love. @gwenstefani #VoiceBlinds”
