Snoop Dogg Gets Emotional On 'The Voice' Premiere: Here's What Happened

When Snoop Dogg Got Teary-Eyed

Let me tell you something real quick. On Monday, September 23, during the season 26 premiere of The Voice, there was a moment so powerful that it brought Snoop Dogg to tears. Now, if you know Snoop, you know he doesn’t cry easily. But this wasn’t just any moment—it was an emotional exchange between Reba McEntire and a contestant that had everyone feeling the weight of it.

Kendall Eugene's Big Moment Falls Short

First up, we had Kendall Eugene stepping onto the stage for his blind audition. He chose to perform Morgan Wallen’s "Don’t Thank Jesus," a song that demanded every ounce of emotion he had. The crowd was into it, no doubt. They were cheering him on, giving him all the energy. But when the music stopped, none of the coaches turned their chairs. That’s a tough pill to swallow, especially after pouring your heart out like that.

Gwen Stefani Offers Constructive Feedback

Gwen Stefani, always the supportive coach, shared her thoughts with Kendall. She said, “This sucks because when it came to the choruses, it was believable, it was heartfelt.” Gwen admitted she didn’t press her button because, early on, there were some tuning issues. Still, she encouraged Kendall, saying, “I didn’t press because in the beginning, even though I loved the tenderness of your voice, there were things that needed work. But you should come back.” That’s some real talk right there.

Michael Bublé Reflects on the Choice

Michael Bublé chimed in too, offering his perspective. He said, “I’m still new at this, but I can see you have talent. Honestly, I wonder if you’d chosen a different song with a different range, would I have turned my chair? Probably.” It’s a tough call, but it shows how much thought goes into every decision these coaches make.

Reba’s Regret and Redemption

Now, here’s where it gets interesting. You could see it on Reba’s face—she had regrets about not turning her chair. She told Kendall, “Your style is totally different from anything we’ve heard today. I liked everything about it.” Kendall’s response? “You should’ve turned.” And Reba admitted, “I was going to say the exact same thing.”

Snoop added, “Which leads me to why I didn’t turn. I’m like, I can’t beat her when it comes to him. It was a beautiful song.” But Reba wasn’t done yet. She revealed, “I don’t understand why I did not turn around. We’ve got this new thing this year, the Coach Replay button. I’m going to use mine.”

Reba hit that button, and the audience went wild. The coaches were all surprised that she used her button so early in the season, but they were thrilled with her choice. Kendall started crying, realizing he’d be moving on in the competition.

Snoop’s Emotional Reaction

“Wow! Go give that man a hug,” Snoop told Reba. As Reba made her way up to the stage, Snoop pulled his glasses above his eyes to wipe away tears. When the camera panned back to Snoop, he was still wiping tears from his face. “I believe in you,” Reba told Kendall while giving him a big hug.

Reba explained, “I love that song Kendall was singing. After the song was over, I felt kind of numb. I knew in my heart I wanted him on my team. I’m so glad we have a Coach Replay button. It’s the second chance for the coaches when we realize we missed a moment.”

And Snoop opened up about his emotional response. “When I see a man cry, it makes me cry,” he admitted.

More Heartfelt Moments from the Premiere

The rest of the premiere episode was full of amazing performances. After Ben Fagerstedt’s rendition of Michael’s song “I’ve Got You Under My Skin,” no coaches turned around. But Snoop got emotional watching Michael and Ben interact. Michael promised to help Ben kickstart his career, and it was a touching moment.

Snoop summed it up perfectly. “That’s what this show is about, to make these people better at what they do, whether they make it to the show or not. That’s our job as coaches.”
