Spectators at home usually have an unfair advantage over the coaches The voice at blind auditions. While the trainers can’t see what the artist looks like before they press the button, viewers at home have already learned a little about most contestants, often thanks to a nice interview in which the singer shares a little backstory about their life . But Episode 3 of Season 26 began with a truly blind blind audition that caused all four coaches to turn their chairs.

Ultimately, it was Snoop Dogg who “seduced” the artist with this powerful voice: Georgia Starnes, a 21-year-old from Dallas, Texas. Admittedly, the coaches — and the audience — didn’t know this when she started singing Sam Smith’s “Too Good at Goodbyes.”

“People are kind of surprised when I sing,” said Stanes, who was initially only filmed from behind before taking the stage. “I don’t think they expect my sound.”

Only when Coach Michael Bublé pressed the button to see what the person behind those pipes looked like did the camera show Stranes, wearing a cowboy hat and looking younger and more alive than the experience and emotion in her voice would suggest. Next, coaches Gwen Stefani and Snoop pushed their buttons almost simultaneously, and finally Reba McEntire pushed her button as well, meaning Starnes got the elusive 4-Chair Turn.

“I love being shocked in this competition,” Bublé said. “You don’t look like the sound that comes out of your body. I feel like we have that in common because when I start singing, people expect an 80-year-old white guy.”

Next, Stefani asked Starnes to tell them a little about herself, and the artist explained that she has been singing since she could talk and recently “performed” in Los Angeles The voice is being filmed. Stefani praised Starnes’ singing and the Texan returned the favor by praising Stefani’s outfit, leading to a brief fashion show. (McEntire noted that Stefani’s sparkly ensemble consisted of tube socks and fishnet tights, which Snoop described as “a West Coast thing.”)

“You rock a cowboy hat very well,” McEntire said, continuing the fashion conversation before explaining why she chose Starnes. “You hear it, but you want to see what the whole package looks like. You look great, you sounded wonderful.”

Snoop said that when he first saw Starnes after hearing her voice, his reaction was, “Wait, that’s part of it?” He also praised her voice and said he wanted to help her achieve whatever she wants could be, but that this would only be possible if she joined Team Snoop.

“I feel for you because it’s so easy to be seduced by Snoop, Reba or Gwen,” Bublé said. But then he made another pitch for the young singer, explaining how he would help establish Starnes’ identity in a way that audiences and record labels would understand. Stefani chimed in again, emphasizing her status as the most experienced trainer around The voice. But Snoop countered – and he had a tempting support.

“Not only was I signed to Death Row Records in 1992, but I am now the owner of Death Row Records,” Snoop said before dangling the gold necklace he gave to each member of his team. After all the fashion talk, it was fascinating to say the least.

“It would fit so well around your neck,” Snoop said. Starnes noted that all the coaches had a lot to offer, but she trusted her gut and chose Team Snoop, and the legendary rapper came on stage to put the necklace on her.

“Snoop definitely has a game plan and knows how to pick the perfect team,” Stefani said afterwards. “Snoop seduces everyone with his necklaces. Everyone’s eyes are like (gasp!). When they see it, they say, ‘I want that!’”

“Gwen, give them one of your rings next time,” Reba joked.
