The 'Voice' judge and the contestant under his wing Cammwess are overwhelmed with emotions after the former managed to clear 'Purple Rain' for the latter's performance.

AceShowbiz - "The Voice" contestant CammWess was left in tears on Monday night's show, May 18, 2020 after his coach John Legend managed to clear Prince classic "Purple Rain" for him to perform on the programme.

While countless hit songs have been taken on by hopefuls on the U.S. TV talent show over the years, "Purple Rain" has never been one of them. But after John got involved, he managed to secure the tune for his act to belt out on Monday's episode - a feat that was entirely appreciated by CammWess.

"Purple Rain has never been cleared for a performance on The Voice," John explained as he introduced the performance. "I got an e-mail from one of the managers (asking), 'John, will you vouch for this guy CammWess?' I was like, 'I will absolutely vouch for CammWess.' "

"It's poetic, it's really crazy," CammWess replied. "I'm not gonna lie, I cried about it."

And even his mentor John got a little choked up.

"I'm getting emotional thinking about it with you. I just want you to show out, make it like you singing at the Super Bowl in the rain," he said referencing the late singer's iconic 2007 Super Bowl performance. "That's how you win The Voice."

"The Voice" finale airs on Tuesday night, May 19, 2020 in the U.S.
