LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 24 singer Brandon Montel managed to get a 4-chair turn. While John Legend turned his chair for Brandon, Reba McEntire blocked the 'All of Me' singer. But, it looks like she wasted her last block. 

The singer introduced himself in the Blind Audition round as a 29-year-old from Memphis, Tennessee. Brandon further went on to tell his story on camera as he managed to win judges' hearts. 

Brandon said during the auditions, "I have been in LA for 6 years now." The aspiring singer then admitted that he was a part of "ballroom culture." He continued by performing some ballroom moves on stage.

On social media, Brandon looks to have a decent fan base as around 16.1K people follow him. Reba utilized the final block opportunity on Brandon because she was so taken with his performance that she wanted him on her team.

Brandon sang 'Hard Place' by HER. Reba was the first one to turn her chair around for Brandon. Soon after that John, Gwen Stefani, and Niall Horan continued to hit the buzzer.

After Brandon's performance, Reba went on the stage to tease John for blocking him. Turning his back to Reba, Brandon said, "I can't look. Get away from me."

He went on to playfully slam Reba, calling her, "Cold, just ruthless this woman." Reba snapped back, "I'm no dummy." The healthy verbal feud between Reba and John continued.

Despite witnessing Reba fight against John to win him, Brandon did not choose to go with her team. After a lot of thinking, he picked Gwen as his coach.

It would appear that Reba was eager to have Brandon join her team. When the same did not occur, the well-known country singer exclaims, "I guess I kind of wasted a block on John?"

The first participant in the fifth round of the blind audition was Gwen. She jumped with joy as she approached the artist on stage and gave him a hug.

'The Voice' Season 24 airs every Monday and Tuesday on NBC at 8 pm ET.
