The Voice Season 26 finale part 1: Finalist Sofronio Vasquez's performances
The Voice Season 26 finale part 1 featured Sofronio Vasquez's first performance, Sia's Unstoppable. For his rendition of the popular song, Coach Michael Bublé compared the finalist with a superhero and shared:
"I am going to have to go suck on a lemon after that so I can stop smiling. We talk about superheroes. You're a sweet, humble, very quiet guy off stage and you just go to the phonebooth and become Superman."
The Philippines native artist's second performance was The Greatest Showman's A Million Dreams. After his performance, the finalist got emotional, and tears rolled down his cheeks. Seeing him in such an emotional state, Michael Bublé also got emotional and shared that he loved him and that he was proud of him.
Coach Michael Bublé shared:
"I need to borrow Reba's Kleenex. My wife and kids are home tonight, and that song was a choice for both of us because it meant a lot to both of us in my family."
His appreciation continued:
"To watch you do that and to be in the moment like you were, that's all we've got. We can't control what we can't control. All we can control is being present. I love you. I'm proud of you."
Additionally, Coach Snoop Dogg referred to the participant as "big time." He also appreciated Sofronio for singing for his family.
Fans must remember that during The Voice Season 26 Playoffs round, Vasquez, along with fellow teammate Shye, was selected to advance further in the competition.
Before that, Sofronio Vasquez became the "second-ever artist" from the show's 26th season:
"with a cover of the Rose Royce song "I'm Goin' Down," earned a coveted 4-Chair Turn. He chose Michael Bublé as his Coach, and set about perfecting his craft for the Battles."
The Voice Season 26 finalists' NBC bio describes him as having grown up with "virtually nothing" and that Sofronio's house didn't even have "no bed or indoor plumbing."
Despite the difficulties throughout his life, the artist has been "happy" and refers to music as something that has kept him close to his family and brings "joy."
