It is that time of year when The Voice coaches sing a group song to promote the upcoming season. This year, we got to hear three of the top singers in their genre and Gwen Stefani sing the Four Tops’ Reach Out I’ll Be There.
Now that I have heard Snoop Dogg do Motown, I want to hear him do more songs like that. I knew that Michael Bublé and Reba McEntire could do it because they can sing anything. But Snoop blew me away.
Hopefully, this season will be as good as their group number. The Voice will be back on NBC on September 23rd.
I have to admit I haven’t watched The Voice in a long time because the coaches didn’t interest me much. But I will be tuning in September because Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé will be sitting in the red swivel chairs.
The Rapper and the Crooner are joining Reba McEntire and Gwen Stafani.
They almost have a perfect panel, but the No Doubt singer is a dud. I don’t know why they keep bringing her back. Does Blake Shelton have photos on the show’s producers?
Forgetting about Mrs. Shelton, I am looking forward to the banter between the other three. I can’t wait to see Snoop get Reba high! She is going to need it because she will have two shows on NBC next season, this one and the sitcom Happy’s Place.
Gwen Stefani and John Legend have gotten close while working on The Voice together. So much so that she had a dream about his wife, Chrissy Teigen.
What did she dream about? Is it the type of dream that Blake Shelton and Legend would like to see in real life? Yes, but not that type of dream.
Today on Today, Legend told the story, as per Stefani’s urging, that in December, she had a vision that she saw Chrissy Teigen holding two babies that were not twins, but they were about the same age.
Back then, we knew that Chrissy was very pregnant with Esti, but we did not know that the couple was using a surrogate to have baby #4. So Gwen knew about Wren before Legend told her.
How freaky is that? And what is the connection? This shh is bananas, b-a-n-a-n-a-s!
The Voice airs its season finale next Tuesday, which is also Blake Shelton’s last episode as a coach on the singing competition after 23 seasons.
So that means we need a coach of his magnitude for next season. Who is it going to be? Today, NBC revealed who it is. Reba McEntire, who has previously served as a mentor, will be sitting in the red hot swivel chair for the first time. She will be joined by EGOT-winner John Legend, who is returning for his 9th season. One Direction’s Niall Horan will be vying for his second season. Shelton and Kelly Clarkson, who is leaving Toluca Lake for NYC, will not be back. But for some reason, they thought that we wanted Gwen Stefani. Besides Blake, who else wants her? She is so last century.
Gwen Stefani has had several hits with No Doubt and as a solo singer. So does she think the coaches would turn their red chairs for her if she were a contestant on The Voice instead of sitting in one of those magical chairs?
“I would never get a chair turn. There’s no way,” the singer tells Drew Barrymore tomorrow on the daytime talk show. “Because this is the thing about ‘The Voice,’ the whole thing is just, it’s very different than watching someone sing a song and that’s the whole point. That you’re eliminating any of those other sensory things. You’re just hearing the voice. And I feel like my voice has been, it’s like a character voice. Some of these singers are so technically incredible that come on the show. They’re so gifted as singers. So I don’t know if a show like ‘The Voice’ I would get a chair turn. Like, I feel like I could get someone to listen to it on the radio, but it’s just different.”
I have to admit, she is right. The few times I have heard her sing on the singing competition, I couldn’t get over how bad her voice is. It works well for what she does, and that is all she can do. Sorry Mrs. Blake Shelton, but you said it first.
