Jay had the coaches fighting over him

Given Jay’s talent, it was no wonder that he had not one but two coaches wanting him on their team.

He had the choice between Gwen Stefani as a coach and her husband, Blake Shelton, at the end of his audition.

Jay ended up opting for Gwen as his coach and said: “Blake, I’m a giant fan, I respect you so much, but I have to choose your wife”.

Some fans were shocked that Jay picked Gwen over Blake however, many said that they “couldn’t wait” to see his journey with the No Doubt singer.
