'The Voice': Former Backup Singer Val T. Webb Earns an Emotional 4-Chair Turn

Val T. Webb was pressured by her son to finally audition for the singing competition -- and it paid off!

Val, a 43-year-old mother, worship leader and backup singer, revealed that it was her son, Joshua, who pressured her to finally audition for the show -- and it definitely paid off. Dan + Shay say they've been fans of the show for years -- they served as mentors for Blake Shelton's team back in season 20 and even stepped in to guest coach Niall Horan's team last season -- but getting to serve as full-time coaches for the first time has been a whole new experience. With Niall stepping away this season after winning back-to-back titles, the Voice trophy is up for grabs -- and there's a better-than-average chance it could go to a first-time champion, as only John has won the competition before.
