Speaking to NBC Insider, Coach Legend opened up about why he enjoys being a Coach so much. ”I love that we get to be surrounded by so much talent and it’s really inspiring, truthfully,” he said. “I learn so much from being on this show. I learn from coaching. I learn from the interaction I have with these Artists, and it’s very renewing because, you know, I’ve been making records for, like, 20 years now and to be around Artists that have that hunger and that excitement is very renewing for me, and I love that experience.”
Legend also loves that the show gives him work-life balance. “I also love that, you know, I live here in Los Angeles, I have four kids. It’s nice to work at home, basically, you know? And [to] be able to take my kids to school in the morning and then go to work, but honestly, the inspiration that I get from these Artists every single time is very renewing for me, and it doesn’t get old,” he said.

The Triple Turn Competition in the Blind Auditions
Our three Coaches will compete against each other in a Triple Turn Competition, in which they’ll attempt to score the most 3-Chair Turns, with the winner gaining a special advantage in the next round. (More on that below.) Coaches will end the Blind Auditions with 10 Artists each.

Whichever Coach wins the Triple Turn Competition will earn a Super Steal for the Battles. This game-changing prize can only be used once and negates any other Coach’s attempt to Steal, guaranteeing their win.
