In the final round of Blind Auditions for season 24 of The Voice, the coaches were left in awe by an extraordinary talent. Lennon VanderDoes, a 27-year-old performer hailing from Phoenix, Arizona, captivated the coaches with his unique rendition of Lord Huron's "The Night We Met," hitting high notes that had them racing to hit their buttons. Although Reba McEntire was highly impressed and would have turned her chair if her team wasn't already full, it was Gwen Stefani, Niall Horan, and John Legend who competed for Lennon.
Niall Horan expressed his admiration, describing Lennon's voice as "pure and clean," and Gwen Stefani, John Legend, and Niall vied for the opportunity to mentor this exceptional singer. Lennon, despite initial doubts about his distinctive voice, found encouragement from the coaches. Niall assured him that he had more than just a place on the show.
John Legend was effusive in his praise, considering Lennon one of the best vocalists he had heard on the show. He emphasized the need for distinctive and interesting voices in the music industry, and Lennon's talent deserved recognition.
In the end, Lennon was won over by Niall Horan's songwriting, making him the final addition to Team Niall.
Before the Battle Rounds, Gwen Stefani reflected on the absence of her husband, Blake Shelton, who had been a prominent figure on The Voice for 23 consecutive seasons. She acknowledged Blake's significant role on the show, but despite his departure, she emphasized her gratitude for still getting to spend time with him daily.
