“I’m so proud of my girls!” Gwen gushes. “I’m dying right now, I didn’t know I was gonna feel like this!”
After plenty of praise from her fellow coaches, Gwen gets down to her critiques, telling Jillian, “I felt like at the beginning, I could hear the nerves in your voice… You recovered and got better and better throughout the performance. You really proved to me how talented you are.”

When ET caught up with the coaches ahead of season 22, John admitted that “everybody’s got really good team members” this season, making for some “tough” competition. However, he and Gwen — returning to the show for the first time since she and Blake tied the knot — agreed that they’re working hard to make sure “The Cowboy” doesn’t get to add another trophy to his mantel.
“Blake’s losing this season,” Gwen teased, with John agreeing, “He’s going to lose.”
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. PT/ET on NBC. See more from this season in the video below!
