NBC's The Voice Season 22 returned for an all-new episode on Tuesday night, September 27, 2022. Halfway through the blind auditions, coaches John Legend, Camila Cabello, Gwen Stefani and Blake Shelton have stacked up a number of talented contestants for their respective teams. This week, they continued to battle it out against each other, trying to get the more skilled singers on board.

One such singer who impressed the coaches was Tanner Howe. The Voice contestant took to center stage and performed his version of Shawn Mendez's Mercy. The 29-year-old contestant wanted to land a spot on Team Camila, but sadly since she didn't turn her chair, he chose to join Gwen Stefani's team over John and Blake, who also turned for him.
