NEW BOSS: Camila Cabello scored for Texas singer Grace Bello after she covered Justin Bieber’s song and turned four seats on Tuesday’s episode of NBC’s The Voice.
John immediately began trying to convince Grace, who had grown up with Cuban and Sicilian musical influences, to join his team.
“I think we can make some nice music on this show and I’d love to coach you,” said John.
Then all the other judges tried to carry it with them.
“I think you would really fit into Team Gwen,” said Gwen Stefani, 53. “I would like to train you.”

“I would be so excited to explore our song choices with you,” said Camila Cabello, 25.
“Your voice is magical,” said Blake Shelton, 46. Maybe I don’t know much pop music but that doesn’t mean I’m not a fan. I will represent you as someone who has now done this for a long time, and I can think of nothing that would be more different and strange than if you chose me as your trainer.
Camilla then tried to entice Grace by presenting her with one of John’s jackets that originally said a legend on the back, but added a piece of ribbon with it written on it, so it now reads “Camilla is a legend.”
MAGICAL VOICE: “Your voice is magical,” said Blake Shelton, 46. Maybe I don’t know much pop music but that doesn’t mean I’m not a fan. I’m just representing you as someone who’s done this now for a long time, and I can’t think of anything that would be more different and weird than if you chose me as your coach.”
‘No, no, no, no,’ said John.
“It’s better because it has more words,” Blake said.
In the end, Grace chose Camilla.
‘Yes Dear!’ Camilla said.
John ran over and grabbed Camilla’s jacket and pulled the tape off her when she tried to hand it to Grace.
