John Legend Seals the Deal on ‘The Voice’ With Promise of Wife Chrissy Teigen’s Homemade Cheesecake


John Legend sealed the deal on Tuesday (Feb. 27) 'The Voice' blind auditions by offering singer Nathan Chester a bite of Chrissy Teigen's cheesecake.

The delicious moment came when season 25 contestant Nathan Chester busted out an impressive, high-energy cover of Al Green’s soul- pop classic “Take Me to the River,” which elicited chair turns from Legend and new coaching due Dan + Shay. “I’m always waiting for someone to inspire me, excite me, and Nathan, when I heard you singing, I turned very quickly, because I was like, this man’s got it!” Legend gushed about the performance that added a rocking edge to the 1974 classic. While the latter tidbit seemed kind of random — though coach Reba McEntire said that made him a “man after my own heart” — Legend put on the full-court press after emerging so far with only one artist on his team.
