With a performance of the iconic Eagles song “Heartache Tonight,” the “The Voice” coaches—both new and old—opened Season 26, laying the groundwork for a thrilling new era and a highly anticipated debut.
The coaches this season of “The Voice” set the tone with a jaw-dropping performance that viewers won’t soon forget. Season 26 of the program is off to a roaring start. The coaches opened the season with a musical song in keeping with “The Voice” tradition, offering viewers a taste of what this dynamic new cast has in store.
The season already feels like a reinvention with an almost all-new coaching staff. Reba McEntire, who recently won Season 25, is back with newbies Michael Bublé and Snoop Dogg as well as seasoned Gwen Stefani.
And to start the celebration off right, they picked a rock classic by the Eagles, “Heartache Tonight,” to properly introduce themselves. The song was the ideal option for the coaches to show off their musical prowess. It was first released in 1979 as a part of the “The Long Run” album.
Snoop, looking dapper in a shiny black suit, strode from the audience and set the tone with his easygoing swagger. Then Bublé onto the stage, his crisp black tuxedo contrasting with his sweet, velvety vocals.
The chorus was given a vibrant twist by McEntire’s country voice, and Stefani, ever the pop queen, injected her trademark fun energy, making the combination an unforgettable moment. This performance served as more than just a premiere; rather, it made a statement: “The Voice” has entered a new age, and it’s bringing the heat.
Supporters React to Snoop Dogg’s “The Voice” Debut
Snoop’s much awaited coaching debut on “The Voice” has enthralled fans, who have been posting their thoughts on social media. Netizens are gushing over the iconic rapper, who is renowned for his easygoing style and easygoing demeanor, for trading his microphone for a judge’s chair.
With much enthusiasm, a fan said, “Snoop is holding his own. Though I wasn’t convinced he would make a good judge, I think he will.”
Snoop received acclaim not only for his performance but also for his stylish choices. “Love the jacket too,” a supporter commented.
Snoop’s flexibility, particularly his singing talents, surprised a lot of fans. A shocked commenter said, “I had no idea Snoop could sing!!!!!!” We’re acquainted as rappers.” As the praises continued coming in, one more admirer said, “Snoop has a fantastic voice. Very slick, exactly like him.”
Someone else expressed their excitement by saying, “I am SHOOKETH! Snoop provided some pretty amazing vocals for them.”
“Snoop’s singing voice was surprisingly good!” exclaimed other people. I thought he would rap.” “Well, Snoop surprised me too!” exclaimed a fan, expressing their excitement with the surprising talent. Who knew he had such a beautiful voice? Pleasant surprise.”
Naturally, there was also an abundance of affection for the musician himself: “I love me some Snoop! eager to watch his performance! Love Reba so much, too,” exclaimed someone.
Snoop has been building anticipation for his “The Voice” debut for months. Just four months prior to the 2024 Olympic Games in Paris, the rapper made an appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” during which he expressed his excitement about serving as a coach for the show.
“If you know anything about me, you know I love all forms of music, so this is a great opportunity for me to show that I really understand music and, you know, be a real coach,” he stated to Fallon.
The renowned rapper also mentioned how excited he was to work with the other coaches and how willing he was to mentor artists. Snoop is causing a stir in season 26 not just for his mentoring but also for the presents he gives the competitors.
As a prize for his best musicians, he is giving out Death Row Records chains, an iconic homage to the hip-hop label he currently owns.
Jake Tankersley was one fortunate competitor who stole the show at the start of the season. After his amazing performance of Zach Bryan’s “Something in the Orange,” everyone turned over four chairs. He finally decided to appoint Snoop as his coach.
It’s already looking like one of the season’s most talked-about moments will be Snoop’s “The Voice” debut. Fans are excited for Snoop’s arrival because of his distinct coaching style, surprising singing abilities, and calm personality.
Gwen Stefani’s Outfit on ‘The Voice’ Has Fans Talking
Stefani is at the center of a fashion controversy, while Snoop is basking in the glory of his “The Voice” premiere.
Both admirers and detractors have weighed in on her ensemble on social media, with some not holding back their critical remarks.
“Why can Gwen never wear decent clothing?” a direct critic wrote. Is it a show for kids instead of only adults? It truly is repulsive. Someone else added age-related criticism, stating that Gwen was too old to be dressing like a teenager. It’s time to dress like a star with class, just like Reba did.
And someone else said, “Snoop and Reba are the best singing together,” in a backhanded compliment that quickly devolved into more shade. Gwen had to go dress like a sophisticated lady. Michael is doing well.
Not all fans were eager to attack Stefani, despite the negative feedback. Jumping to Stefani’s defense, one admirer said, “I think she has her own style and I think its beautiful,” showcasing her unabashed sense of flair.
Stefani has received criticism in the past for her daring fashion choices. Similar controversy arose from her attire during the July 19, 2024, Minnesota Yacht Club Music Festival, as many fans expressed strong thoughts about her audacious look.
Stefani was dressed in a ragged tartan suit that was pieced together from three mismatched plaids. She had on a black fishnet bodysuit underneath. Her distinctive deep red lipstick and black-and-white nails finished off the platinum blonde hairstyled in a high ponytail.
It’s interesting to note that Stefani previously wore same ensemble when she performed at The Theatre at Great Canadian Casino Resort Toronto in May of last year. Fans had varied feelings about her presence at the Minnesota event despite it being a rerun.
“The outfit is ridiculous, but when you have somebody her age trying to be 15, what do you expect?” asked one particularly outspoken reader. “Looks like rags got caught in the fishnet but she wore them anyway,” said another, echoing the idea.
Amidst the criticism, several praised Stefani’s audacious fashion sense. “Very current, love her look especially at her age,” wrote one fan. Wonderful .”
Another admirer complimented her sincerity, saying, “That’s her style. Well done for staying loyal to herself; trolls will always be trolls .”
Stefani’s style and social media presence have the ability to capture her following even in the face of public criticism. Stefani has not only reconciled with her fans on “The Voice” following her husband Blake Shelton’s resignation, but she has also once again been under the scrutiny of the fashion police.
Regardless of one’s feelings on her appearance, Stefani is unquestionably staying true to her style and marching to the beat of her own drum.

McEntire’s rendition with widely met with praise on social media despite some minor audio issues.
“Reba killed it,” wrote ex-NFL punter turned football pundit Pat McAfee.
Post Malone and Reba McIntrye both killed that. And, by the way, no pIayer in the NFL that I’m aware of still kneels for the anthem. No one here on either team, said Clay Travis. It’s pretty amazing how that trend just completely vanished. And how ratings have set all time records since it ended.
