A Unique Performance That Stole the Show
On the September 29th episode of The Voice, Coach Snoop Dogg found himself in an unusual situation. Known for his signature sunglasses, he was forced to remove them when a performer captivated him during the Blind Auditions. The artist in question was Marty O’Reilly, a 36-year-old independent musician from Sonoma, California. His rendition of "Trouble" by Ray LaMontagne left all three male coaches stunned.
O’Reilly accompanied himself on a resonator guitar, showcasing a raspy vibrato that was unlike anything heard in recent memory. The performance was so impressive that all three male coaches turned their chairs. Snoop Dogg, who rarely takes off his sunglasses, admitted he had to do so for this particular moment.
“I gotta take my glasses off for that one right there,” Snoop said after the performance. He described the experience as something classic and unique, adding, “In my mind I was like that sounds like something classic I’ve never heard before, I can’t let this get away.”
Snoop wasn’t the only one impressed. Niall Horan praised O’Reilly’s voice, calling it “insane.” However, Michael Bublé, sensing competition, took matters into his own hands. He brought out a plastic penalty box to keep Horan in check while making his case to O’Reilly. To everyone’s surprise, the tactic worked. O’Reilly ultimately chose Team Bublé.
With steals just around the corner, no one could afford to relax. The competition was fierce, and the atmosphere was electric.
Snoop Dogg’s Accessories Carry Meaning
This season, Snoop Dogg has been sporting a necklace with an “S” on it, representing his name. Additionally, he has gifted every member of his team a matching “T” version of the chain. The “T” stands for “team,” symbolizing unity and collaboration.
During a promo for the season, Snoop shared what he was most looking forward to on the show. Beyond the moments that make you want to lift your sunglasses, he highlighted the chemistry between the coaches. “I knew I was gonna have fun when they said Michael and Reba were back because we already had the chemistry,” he said. “But Niall? Me and him connected like peanut butter and jelly.”
Snoop emphasized the importance of family on The Voice. “I love the family side of the show. That’s what I love about being here. The family between the Coaches and the family that you make when you build your team. The family with the crew and the people that’s just here every day,” he said.
His goal for Season 28 is clear: “I was the Rookie of the Year in Season 26 but I didn’t get the hardware. This time I plan on leaving with the hardware. My dream for Season 28 is just to have a bunch of singers that really know how to get down, mix and match, really great at what they do and down to be taught.”
The Power of Music and Learning
For Snoop, being a coach on The Voice is not just about talent—it’s also about learning. “The thing I love most about being a Coach is learning. Learning who I’m Coaching. Because the more you learn about who you’re Coaching, the better you can be as a Coach,” he explained.
He added, “If you know anything about me, you know I love music. Music doesn’t have a box. Music is music. And that’s what this show is about. My career is a perfect example of showing you how many different styles of genres of music that I’ve been able to engage in…because I have the ear, the heart and the spirit to know great music, that’s why I feel like I’m a perfect fit for this show.”
Snoop’s passion for music and his ability to connect with artists make him a valuable addition to the coaching panel. His journey through various genres has given him a unique perspective, allowing him to guide and inspire the next generation of performers.
