The Voice is spicing things up.
Host Carson Daly shocked judges Adam Levine, John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini and Michael Bublé by revealing an unexpected season 27 twist during the NBC singing competition series’ May 5 episode.
“Coaches, lend me your ears,” Daly announced at the end of the latest episode. “I come with great news.”
“We’ve always intended to keep the best artists on this show for the longest amount of time,” the former TRL host continued. “We’re going to allow each of you to bring back one more artist for the Top 8 live shows. The super-save is on.”
The revelation that all four judges could bring back an additional contestant left everyone with their jaws on the floor.
As Legend reacted, “Have you realized the stress you unnecessarily put on us? They didn’t tell me I was going to be able to pick three all along.”
Meanwhile, Bublé exclaimed, “How did you keep this secret?” and Ballerini added, “I’m overstimulated.”
Daly left fans with a final thought: “We love a good plot twist.”
