UNIVERSAL CITY, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 24 singer Caleb Sasser impressed the judges with his composed performance, earning a four-chair turn with his soulful rendition of Toni Braxton's 'Another Sad Love Song.' 

However, this left coach Gwen Stefani "frustrated" as she saw shallow chances of winning the singer.

The 27-year-old singer's remarkable voice left the coaches praising him. 

Caleb, who is a middle school music teacher in Los Angeles, recently released his song 'With You.' 

He grew up in a gospel world, learning and listening to the same music in North Carolina. The singer even got the opportunity to share a stage with Alicia Keys.

After all the 4 judges hit the buzzer for Caleb, Gwen begged the music teacher to join her team. She said, "I'm really pitching hard right here. I got John, like, "Ohhh!" so frustrating."

Gwen feared John taking away Caleb from her, even though she pitched herself hard and tried to impress Caleb with all she had.
