Samara Brown sparks battle between coaches

John Legend with the help of his advisor Camila Cabello prepared the two powerhouse singers before their epic face-off on the stage. Brittany Bree and Samara both proved how amazing they can be with their melodies. All the coaches stood up in excitement as they belted out their performance with an intention to move to the knockouts.

John Legend was very much aware that whoever he picks as a winner, the opponent will be stolen by the judges. Keeping in mind the same, Legend ultimately picked Bree as the winner and as expected, the rest of the judges namely Kelly Clarkson and Ariana Grande jumped on the opportunity as they pressed their respective red buzzers to steal Samara Brown. However, the biggest twist came when John Legend too stepped in with only one ‘SAVE’ left. Brown had to pick between Kelly, Ariana and original mentor Legend in order to continue her journey on the show. Despite everyone wooing the singer, Brown showed her loyalty and opted for Legend after much deliberation. Ariana and Kelly will now use their steals next week.
