The Blind Auditions continued on The Voice on Tuesday night (10/10) on NBC, and the judges were blown away when professional dancer and Latin music singer Willie Gomez took the stage. Having worked with celebrities like Britney Spears as a dancer, Gomez is now bringing his singing talent to the table with a cover of "La Bachata."

Gomez took to the stage with an energetic performance of the song originally by Columbian singer Manuel Turizo. Although entirely in Spanish, his singing talent was clearly apparent, and the coaches gave Gomez a four-chair turn. Coach Gwen Stefani turned her chair first, and she was especially interested in getting Gomez on her team — so much so that it temporarily concerned fellow coach Niall Horan.
After the performance, Stefani — disappointed that the other coaches turned — told Gomez, "I thought I had you!" He responded, "You still have me."
After introducing himself, Stefani praised Gomez for his performance and his looks.
"Your voice is so beautiful and flawless. He has so much stage presence. You're gorgeous," she told the singer.
Horan then got his phone out and pretended to text Blake Shelton.
"Blake, she is flirting his pants off," he said in good fun, while texting on his phone.
"Literally, I need someone on my team, so I'm just trying to flirt. I'm joking," she responded.
Horan, himself, has been accused of acting like "Casanova" to recruit singers to his team. On Monday night's episode (10/9), John Legend theorized that Horan's charm and "wooing" is the reason so many talented female singers are joining his team.
Although Stefani gave Gomez her best pitch, it didn't pay off in the end. The singer chose to join Team Legend, which only added to Legend's dominance in winning over four-chair turn artists.
