In his flirtatious rendition of “La Bachata,” Miami Latin singer Willie Gomez entices the four coaches to turn around. The voice
‘Blind auditions’ in The voice Not only are they entertaining for fans of the show, but they also serve as a platform that launches emerging artists to stardom. In fact, last week, fans were left elated after a 15-year-old contestant got Niall Horan to turn his head by putting on a performance he couldn’t ignore.
Kelly Clarkson, a well-known pop singer and one of the show’s four coaches, has consistently shown interest in Spanish-speaking singers in past seasons.
However, something extraordinary happened in this eventful 24th season when 37-year-old Willie Gomez took the stage, causing all four coaches to turn their chairs at his electrifying voice.
The singer and dancer originally from the Dominican Republic moved to Miami with his family at the age of 11. Having danced alongside big-name artists like Britney Spears, Jennifer Lopez and Christina Aguilera, it was evident that the coaches were not dealing with an amateur.
It was Gwen Stefani who was the first to perform “La Bachata” by Gómez. At first it seemed like Stefani’s chair would be the only one spinning during her performance. Then Niall Horan, Reba McEntire and John Legend followed suit.
“I thought I had you,” Stefani said when Willie finished singing.
“You still have me,” Gomez said while flashing a smile.
And so, Stefani now had to compete against the other coaches to convince him to join her team.
Horan was the first to try to steal Gomez from the other coaches: “That was great. I could tell you were up there [makes as if to dance]. “I would be too if I could sing like that.”
“I was trying not to dance too much because I’m also a dancer, but I did it a little bit,” Gómez said shyly.
Horan continued: “That was so impressive. It was such a strong, round voice. What a performance! “It was brilliant.”
Stefani then told Gomez, “Your voice is so beautiful and flawless. You have a lot of stage presence. You are beautiful.”

Horan pretends to text: “Blake, she’s flirting her pants off.”
Stefani then said, “I literally need you on my team so I’m just trying to flirt. I’m kidding. I just like this vibe, the energy. I really think you are super talented and super talented. I would love to work with you.”
Then, John Legend made his proposal:
“Your tone is really rich. You have a very nice baritone, but I also liked it when you were breathing hard. She sounded like, ‘Oh, I can hear this guy making a record that would be huge.’ Latin music right now is very big. It’s pop music in many ways. The fact that you can dance and you can sing the way you can sing, you can do all the things you need to be a big star. I would love to be your coach. I think we could have a lot of fun together.”
“I know you’ll be surprised to hear this, but I didn’t understand a word you said,” Reba McEntire spoke up.
“She tells me the same thing,” Horan joked.
McEntire ignored him: “I speak two languages: good and bad English. I could give you some reba-isms and some Okie talk, but I really enjoyed your acting, your singing, and your moves. You’re as cute as a button. I’m glad to have you here and good luck to you.”

Finally, it was time for Gómez to make a decision.
“It would be an honor to work with any of you,” he began. “You guys are amazing, but my heart tells me I should go with John.”
“Another four-chair turn for me,” Legend boasted. “Willie Gómez, this guy has it all. He is handsome, he knows how to sing, he knows how to dance. “I think we are seeing a star here.”
“We were looking into each other’s eyes, this whole chemistry thing, and he doesn’t choose me, he chooses fucking John Legend,” Stefani said disappointed. “Hopefully, he’ll eat some humble pie soon.”
