Speaking of his performance on the very first round of the blind auditions, John Legend was the first to turn around quickly followed by Ariana. Kelly Clarkson and Blake Shelton decided to not turn around as they seemed less impressed with the contestant’s set. While speaking to Jonathan, the ‘All of Me’ hitmaker said that he was reminded of the 80’s R&B artists that were “smooth as hell”. Despite Blake pushing Jonathan to pick Ariana, he ultimately picked John. The singer also spoke about his personal struggle revealing that he beat cancer five years ago. Jonathan revealed that he found a lump on his throat while looking into a mirror. He believed that he was going to die and was ready to give up but his mother helped him out and told him to keep fighting.
