LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' coach John Legend got a taste of his own medicine when 22-year-old musician Jaeden Luke decided to ditch him and joined Blake Shelton's Team Blake instead.

The Seattle native wowed the judges with not just his impeccable performance to 'Make It with You' by Bread's, but also his style and persona that looked like something straight out of a 70s magazine! Unfortunately though Gwen Stefani and Camila Cabello couldn't turn their chairs on account of their teams being filled up already, the two ladies showered praises on him. While Gwen couldn't get enough of the youngster's unique song choice, Camila was in total awe of his vocals and style. Luckily for Jaeden, John and Blake turned for him and began battling amongst themselves to get him to join their teams.

While introducing himself to the coaches, Jaeden casually mentioned how he performed at various wineries in and around Seattle. In an attempt to woo Jaeden, John made a remark about how most of his team members were from Washington, while also bringing up his own performances in the state. Jaeden then revealed that he tried out for being John's backup singer at one of his performances, but the EGOT winner rejected him and went with someone else.

In a bid to pacify Jaeden, John pointed out how all his team members get an opportunity to perform with him onstage. But looks like it was too little and too late, as Jaeden picked Blake to be his coach. With Jaeden joining Team Blake, Blake's team was completed. With both Gwen and Camila eyeing to steal Jaeden later in the competition, it'll be interesting to track his journey on 'The Voice'. 

'The Voice' Season 22 airs every Monday and Tuesday at 8/7c on NBC.
