The highly anticipated The Voice Season 26 Finale ended with the show revealing Sofronio Vasquez from Team Bublé. The second part of the finale episode aired on December 10, 2024, on NBC.

The singing competition's 26th season featured Coaches Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, and legendary rapper Snoop Dogg.

Before the show ended its latest season, the rapper spoke about his strategy before joining The Voice Season 26. Viewers must know how Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé debuted as Coaches on the singing reality show from the recent season.

"My strategy was to look, listen and learn. First of all, I'm glad they didn't make me go first (during Blinds). They made me go, like, second or third, so I was able to watch the other Coaches and see some of the things that they did. And then once I understood that, I could add some Snoop-ism to the situation, as far as my conversation and my lingo, to the Artist to try to get them to come home."

While Coaches Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani have been associated with the show before, the latest season of the singing competition featured debut judges: Michael Bublé and rapper Snoop Dogg.

While the rapper shared about his "look, listen and learn" strategy for the Blind Auditions, Michael shared,

"Honestly, it's not what I'm best at. It's hard to advocate for yourself in that way. And when I did, I tried to do it with humor, to be self-deprecating and to hope that you could break down barriers that way."

The Coach further talked about how things would have been "harder" for him as it was his first time as the Coach.

Michael added that he wanted to be "genuine" and,

"I was trying to be genuine, to tell people that I might be able to help them, and use humor, again, just to break down those walls. Because my dad always said: If you're good, you don't have to tell people."

For The Voice Season 26 fans, Michael will return as the Coach in Season 27. Along with him will be Kelsea Ballerini, Adam Levine, and John Legend. As NBC recently revealed, the show's upcoming season is scheduled to premiere on February 3, 2025.
