The 30-year-old coach was overjoyed in particular to beat out John Legend, 45, who lobbied hard for Val to join his team.
‘I can’t believe it,’ Chance said. ‘I feel so bad for John. I am officially the four-chair king.’
Chance ran to the stage and hugged Val T. Webb who got a standing ovation and had all the coaches turning for her after her performance of Deborah Cox’s song Nobody’s Supposed to Be Here.
Val, 43, from New Braunfels, Texas, embraced Chance who performed an energetic dance after filling out his team.

Before she made her choice, the coaches fought to get Val on their teams.
‘Val I’m so happy for you because I see the joy on your face and little relief,’ John said. ‘It’s very difficult doing this audition but you just handled it with such poise and grace.’
Val said she sings background vocals professionally. She then brought out her son Joshua who she said had been asking her for the past three years to go on the show.
‘I want to show my kids that no matter where you are in your life don’t ever stop pursuing your dreams,’ Val said. ‘Don’t ever look at your age. Don’t look at anything that may be a barrier to everybody else.’
John told her it would be a joy to work with her.
‘I think we can agree that this is something really special,’ said Shay Mooney, 32, of Dan + Shay. ‘You have such a light.’
‘You are a star,’ Dan Smyers, 36, said. ‘You are a backup singer no more.’
Chance told her that he would love the opportunity to work with her.

‘I think it’s so cool that you listen to your son, too,’ Chance said. ‘I really think we could make some special moments together.’
‘I’ve been in the business for a long time and you just look like a beautiful woman that loves to sing for the Lord, as I do, and we would have a great time together,’ Reba McEntire, 68, said.
Val then announced that she was picking Chance as her mentor.
‘I chose Chance because I watched him on season 23,’ Val said. ‘The way that he helped shape and mold his artists was simply incredible, and I’m looking for that in a coach. I’m looking for somebody that can bring all that creativity out.’
Chance ran on the stage and announced that his team was full.
‘The hard part is over,’ Chance said.
JoeWun Bee, 27, from Largo, Florida, took the stage next. He sang Over My Head (Cable Car) by the Fray. He said he picked that song to show his resilience and shared that for a time his family was homeless. Unfortunately, none of the coaches turned around. Chance encouraged him to practice and come back.
Shay told him to not be frustrated.

‘This is just one turn in your journey,’ Shay said. The no’s in my life have been the greatest moments of growth.’
Kyle Schuesler, 19, from Huntington Beach, California, wowed the coaches with his emotional version of Cold Play’s The Scientist. John immediately turned for him while Chance sang along. Dan + Shay and Reba also hit their buzzers for him.
‘I love your voice,’ Reba said. ‘It’s relaxing. It’s soothing. Your falsetto was really smooth.’
‘It was just thoroughly a great performance from beginning to end,’ John said.
John told him that his wife Chrissy Teigen, 38, also grew up in Huntington Beach and Kyle shared that they went to the same high school.
‘Sick performance,’ Dan said. ‘I just really love what you brought to the table.’
Shay said they would be great coaches for them. In the end, Kyle picked Dan + Shay.
‘Kyle has put the cherry on top of our team,’ Shay said.

L. Rodgers, 34, from Baltimore, Maryland, impressed the coaches with her singing of The Rolling Stones hit Wild Horses. Reba was won over by her powerful performance and signed her up for her team.
‘I grew up with a musician as a parent,’ L. Rodgers said. ‘My dad is a professional guitar player. He’s played in bands my entire life.’
She shared that she only learned recently that she was autistic.
‘I see patterns in everything,’ L. Rodgers said. ‘Since finding out, life has been so much better.’
L. Rodgers was stunned when Reba turned around.
‘You have touched my soul throughout my entire life,’ L.Rodgers said. ‘My wife and I are currently rewatching Reba.’
Reba gave her a hug.
‘I think she’s terrific,’ Reba said. ‘She was meant to be on my team.’

Raina Chan, 14, from Stafford, Virginia, had hoped to get a chair turn. She sang Hold My Hand by Lady Gaga, but none of the coaches turned. John encouraged her to keep performing and working on her craft.
Olivia Rubini’s performance of Linda Ronstadt’s song Long Long Time earned her the final spot on John’s team. She couldn’t believe it when John turned around.
Olivia, 24, of Wilmington, Delaware, was the final contestant of the Blind Auditions. She said her father was a music producer and she learned from him growing up.
‘I think you are a star,’ Chance said.
‘I would buy your album today,’ Shay said.
