Speaking of the newest contestant on the show, Carolina Rial left the coaches speechless after her thrilling performance on Sam Smith's 'Stay with Me’. John Legend was the very first one to rotate his big red chair quickly followed by Nick Jonas. Looking at her performance, we did think she might get a four-chair turn-around but unfortunately, that did not happen. Kelly Clarkson and John Blake remained unturned till the very end. After Nick and Legend tried their best to pick her for their respective teams, it was eventually the latter who got lucky with the young talent.
