How Does Snoop Dogg Sound like While Singing?

Season 26 of “The Voice” is off to a roaring start, and this year’s coaches made sure to set the tone with a show-stopping performance that fans won’t soon forget. In classic “The Voice” tradition, the coaches kicked off the season with a musical number, giving audiences a sneak peek of what this fiery new lineup has in store.

With an almost entirely fresh panel of coaches, the season already feels like a reinvention. Reba McEntire, fresh off her victory in Season 25, is back, joined by veteran Gwen Stefani and newcomers Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg.

To properly introduce themselves, they chose a rock classic to get the party started: the Eagles’ “Heartache Tonight.” Originally released in 1979 as part of “The Long Run” album, the song was the perfect choice for the coaches to flex their musical muscles.

Snoop, dressed to impress in a glitzy black suit, made a grand entrance from the audience, setting the stage with his laid-back swagger. Bublé then took the mic, his smooth, velvety vocals shining through in a sharp black tuxedo.

McEntire’s country voice added a lively twist to the chorus, while Stefani, ever the pop queen, brought her signature playful energy, turning the collaboration into an unforgettable moment. This performance was more than just a kick-off — it was a statement: The new era of “The Voice” is here, and it’s bringing the heat.

Snoop’s highly anticipated coaching debut on “The Voice” has sent fans into a frenzy, lighting up social media with their reactions. The legendary rapper, known for his smooth flow and laid-back persona, has traded his mic for a judge’s chair, and netizens are loving it.

One fan enthusiastically shared, “Snoop is really holding his own. Wasn’t too sure about him being a judge, but I think he’s going to be great.” Along with praise for his performance, Snoop’s fashion choices were also a hit. “Love the jacket too,” wrote another admirer.

Many fans were taken aback by Snoop’s versatility, especially his ability to sing. One surprised user marveled, “I didn’t know Snoop could sing?!!! I know him as a rapper.” The compliments kept rolling in, with another fan chiming in with, “Snoop has a great voice. Very smooth — just like him.”

Another person couldn’t hold back their excitement, commenting, “I am SHOOKETH! They really got some excellent vocals out of Snoop.”

Someone else echoed, “Snoop’s singing voice was surprisingly good! I expected him to rap!” Another fan expressed, “Well Snoop surprised me too! Who knew he could sing like that? Nice surprise.”

And, of course, there was no shortage of love for the rapper himself, “Love me some Snoop! Excited to see how he does! Absolutely love Reba, too!” gushed an observer who also highlighted their affinity for McEntire.

For months, Snoop has been amping up excitement for his debut on “The Voice.” Just four months ago, ahead of the Paris 2024 Olympic Games, the rapper appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” where he spoke about looking forward to coaching on the show.

Why Are the Two ‘The Voice’ Coaches Called ‘Irritating’ and ‘Disgraceful?’ Who Are They?

After months of anticipation, NBC’s “The Voice” is back on TV screens with season 26 already having kicked off with a bang and two new faces. While beloved iconic artists McEntire and Stefani have reprised their coach roles, season 25 coaches and fellow famous entertainers Dan + Shay, Chance the Rapper, and John Legend have not.

Replacing the three aforementioned industry heavy hitters, legendary musicians Snoop and Bublé have come on board as the two new coaches for this season.

The two made their debut on Monday night, September 23, which was the premiere of the singing competition series. As is usually the case with the show, Snoop, Stefani, McEntire, and Bublé geared up for the Blind Auditions in the first few episodes.

This phase of the competition focuses on the coaches building up their team of performers based on the competitors’ sounds alone.

Even though the premiere happened mere days ago, the internet was already ablaze with reactions and commentary. Many netizens took issue with the selection of two coaches, namely Snoop and Stefani.

“Banning this season due to Snoop Dogg! Disgraceful,” criticized an Instagrammer. A particularly opinionated user wrote, “This [season’s] initial episode was awful!!! Snoop is a cringy judge! [His] trying to seek a contestant on branding and marketing was way out there!!!”

The same user went on to express, “Not sure why they brought back Gwen. She was cute when Blake was on as a judge. I love Michael. But honestly I’m starting to find I’m bored with the show… none of the contestants really stood out to me yet.”

Adding to the disdain for Snoop as a coach while including the other judges as well, another noted, “Snoop Dogg keeps saying the same things over and over. This is the worst set of judges they have ever had. I won’t be watching and see how the ratings go this year.”

Ahead of the season premiere, Reba McEntire and Snoop Dogg shared some words about what their strategies as coaches will be like for this season.

“So we’re only nine minutes into the show and Gwen Stefani is already irritating. Is she always gonna use Blake to try to get to the contestants [?] 🙄,” remarked a viewer of Stefani and her famous husband Blake Shelton, who used to be a judge on previous seasons.
