'The Voice' Season 19: John Legend creates PSA to expose Blake's 'lies', fans say the 'extraness is damn good'

The witty banter between John Legend and Blake Shelton left fans in splits

Aside from getting to witness the brilliant performances of some of the most talented aspiring singers, 'The Voice' also keeps the audience entertained with the witty banter among the coaches. The coaches, Blake Shelton, Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Kelly Clarkson, definitely share a great camaraderie among themselves and watching them trying to woo a contestant to join their team is hilarious.

Desperate times call for desperate measures, so occasionally when a coach has his/her heart set on getting a contestant to join their team, they take some extra steps to nudge the contestant to join their team. For instance, during the premiere episode of Season 19 of 'The Voice', we saw Gwen Stefani bring in cool t-shirts to give out to members of her team, while Kelly brought in trendy jackets for her team. True to his quirky and eccentric personality, John got a long pole with gloves at the end of it, to shake hands with the members of his team, since due to social distancing they can't actually shake hands. While Blake went all out and got a cardboard cutout of himself, so that his team members can take 'Blake' home with them. 

Aside from the unique props, John seems to have taken the banter to next level, as he recorded a PSA message against his fellow coach, Blake. It all began with John and Blake trying to persuade Jim Ranger to join his team. The contestant's amazing pitch and performance floored both Blake and John, so both the coaches were ready to battle it out to get Ranger on their team. While Blake latched onto trying to show how he's very strongly connected to Ranger's hometown of Bakersfield, John decided to unleash his most powerful weapon- his wit.

John shot a PSA against Blake, where the 'All of Me' singer can be seen accusing his fellow coach of being a liar and advising the contestants not to join Team Blake. While unfortunately, the witty video didn't manage to sway Ranger away from Blake, it did however leave the fans in splits. Several fans took to their Twitter to shower their appreciation upon John's witty PSA. A fan tweeted, "OH MY GOD JOHN LEGEND THAT EXTRANESS IS HOT DAMN GOOD  #TheVoice." "John’s political video was the best thing I’ve seen  @johnlegend #TheVoice," declared a fan. Another fan wrote, "Is it just me? Or is #TheVoice turning into a comedy in some point? Because John Legend's presidential #TheVoice video had me CACKLING!!  #TheVoice #VoicePremiere."

Another fan commented, "#TheVoice love the Blake liars vote commercials best ever John Legend luv u all." "@NBCTheVoice @johnlegend That.Was.HYSTERICAL. @blakeshelton shoulda seen that campaign coming! #TheVoice," pointed a fan.
