‘The Voice’ makes ‘drastic’ rule change after John Legend breaks down: ‘I don’t know why I keep crying!’
Tuesday marked the end of the Knockout Rounds for The Voice Season 24 — a season so stellar, so fiercely competitive, that producers ultimately decided they needed to take extreme measures in order to accommodate all of the stacked talent. And those producers just might have tweaked the show’s format because John Legend turned on the waterworks and tugged at their heartstrings. A weepy Legend can be hard to resist.
But more on John’s surprising crying jag in a moment. Tuesday’s episode cliffhangingly ended with host Carson Daly gathering backstage with John, Gwen Stefani, Niall Horan, and Reba McEntire, telling the coaches: “Something happened this particular season. The artists are getting better and better. In the Blinds, we had more four-chair turns that we’d ever had. The Knockouts… we’ve never seen anything like it! So, we’ve changed the rules. We’ve had to do something rather drastic — something that’s never been done in all [23 previous] seasons on The Voice.”
