NBC has unveiled an exciting new coaching lineup for The Voice season 26. Joining Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani are first-time coaches Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé, bringing fresh energy to the show.
On Friday, July 26, a new promo dropped featuring the quartet performing the Four Tops’ 1966 classic “Reach Out I’ll Be There.” In matching outfits, Snoop, Reba, Bublé, and Stefani showcased their vocal talents in a lively performance that has fans buzzing ahead of the September 23 premiere.
This new panel follows the exits of John Legend, Chance the Rapper, and Dan + Shay. Stefani returns after a brief hiatus, while Snoop and Bublé step into coaching roles after previously appearing as advisors on the show.
Snoop Dogg Shares Excitement About Joining The Voice
Snoop Dogg couldn’t contain his enthusiasm when discussing his new coaching role on The Voice during a May 12 appearance on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. Calling it a “great opportunity,” Snoop explained how the gig aligns perfectly with his passion for music.
“If you know anything about me, you know I love music of all forms,” he told Fallon. “This is a chance for me to show that I really understand music and to step up as a real coach, guiding artists who could be the next big stars.”
Reba McEntire also shared her thoughts on the new additions to the coaching lineup during a May interview with Access Hollywood. “I don’t think I could give them any advice they wouldn’t already know,” she said with a warm smile.
The country legend added, “They’re going to have a blast. They’ll love doing the show because it’s so much fun, and they’ll get to hear incredible talent. We’re all going to have a great time together.”
A Joined performance
The performance continued The Voice‘s tradition of having the coaches come together for a group song to kick off a new season. These collaborative performances are a staple of the show, building excitement for the upcoming competition.
In the show, coaches first select their favorite singers based solely on their vocal talent, aiming to build the strongest team. From there, they mentor their chosen artists through each round, all with the goal of leading one of their team members to victory.
