The final night of “The Voice” season 28 Blind Auditions had the coaches – Snoop Dogg, Reba McEntire, MIchael Buble and Niall Horan filling up the last spots on their teams.  The very last coach to complete his team was Snoop Dogg.

There were a couple of Country contestants that Reba missed out on and told them that she will try to Steal them later in the game.  Needless to say, there were also more artists who didn’t get a chair turn, and one in particular took it hard.

It was great to see Snoop go up on stage to console her and remind us all that the goal is to uplift, not teardown these artists.  Snoop’s words of encouragement were, “Sometimes the ‘L’ is not a loss.  It’s a lesson.”

One, Two, Three to the Four!

Trinity sang “Don’t Let Go” by En Vogue at her Blind Audition and got ALL of the coaches to turn around, starting with Niall, and ending with Snoop Dogg.   Reba called Trinity a “powerhouse.”  Even though Reba’s team was almost full, she was very excited to try to add Trinity.  Snoop gave Trinity the ultimate compliment by saying she reminds him of Donna Summer.   Michael Buble was shocked and speechless when she chose him.  

“Letter to Alise” is a singing duo whose name comes from a Cure song.  However, they chose to audition with an “A-ha” song “Take On Me.” Coaches Reba and Snoop were smitten with the two young artists.  One of the artists auditioned last season and Buble remembered him.  They went with Reba, who knows a bit about harmonizing, as we learned last time she was on “The Voice” and shared that she used to sing with her sisters.

It’s ALL Niall!

Camille Tredoux sang “Behind Blue Eyes” by The Who for her father.  Niall and Reba had to fight over Camille.  Niall called her “amazing” and agreed with Michael Buble that Camille sounds like Janice Joplin.  Camille told Snoop a story of dropping “scriptures like it’s hot in church.”  As for choosing her coach, Camille went with Team Niall.  Niall was very confident about winning over Camille away from Reba, and boasted that he’s doing something right!

Buble and Snoop turned for Spanish singer Emmanuel Rey who grew up in Inglewood.  Snoop was ecstatic to hear that Emmanuel is from Inglewood as he shouted “Inglewood!!”   That’s the coach he went with!  Snoop had it in the bag.

Myra Tran sang “Sympathy” and has grown-up watching “The Voice”.  No coaches turned for her.  But, at only 26, she’ll gain more experience and hopefully get another shot on “The Voice.”

Reba encouraged Myra that they’ve had a lot of people come back again and get chair turns.  Snoop was a sweetheart to meet Myra on stage with tissues for her tears.  He told her “sometimes that ‘L’ is not a loss, it’s a ‘lesson.'”  Afterwards, Snoop told fellow coaches that it’s important that the artists leave with “high self esteem.”

MORE BLIND AUDITIONS:
Reba turned for Aubrey Nicole while crying. She told her that she has that gift and it penetrated through her chair.  She’s on Team Reba who called her “the perfect package.”

Aaron Nichols is from Bakersfield, California now living in Nashville.  Reba appreciated Aaron’s strong, gravely Country sound and turned her chair.  The other coaches may have been too intimidated by Reba to turn because Aaron was so recognizably Country.  However, Buble and Snoop also decided to turn and fight it out with Reba!

Buble said Reba will win “The Voice” with Aaron, but he wanted to throw his hat in.  Snoop said for the two of them it’s important to represent the state of California.  Reba told Aaron it was “like homecoming” and wants him to be on her team.  Aaron got Reba’s last spot after choosing her.

REBA’S TEAM IS FULL!

When Moms Unite!

Snoop got Jerrell Melton all to himself after being the only coach to turn for this big Broadway sounding singer.  After Jerrell revealed that his mother just passed away, Snoop said he thinks that his mom connected with Jerell’s mother.

They had a big hug on stage after Jerrell told Snoop about his mom recently passing and he sang that Michale Bolton song for her.  While Jerrell’s sisters were watching his blind audition off-stage, they were yelling for Michael Buble to turn.  Jerrell definitely has a similar sound and style to Buble’s.  Perhaps Buble will try to Steal Jerrell later in the season.

Elias Gomez brought classic sound onto “The Voice” stage by singing “Lonely Teardrops” by Jackie Wilson for his Blind Audition song. But in a Country kind of style while playing guitar.  Buble turned right away, followed by Niall, and Snoop.  Snoop told Elias that he’s never heard that song done in that style.  Elias went with Team Buble.  Which meant, Buble’s Team is FULL!

TEAM MICHAEL IS FULL!

The last few contestants to audition were up for only two Teams now, Niall Horan or Snoop Dogg.  Alex Brown, ironically, works at Ole Red, Blake Shelton’s bar in Nashville as a sound engineer.  Both Snoop and Niall turned for Alex.  Snoop called Alex so smooth and sultry and “in pocket.”  They are looking for “that great voice, that great musician” which Snoop said is Alex. 

Niall said Alex hits so many notes with “such control” and they need his voice in the show.  Alex chose Team Niall.  Niall said Alex reminds him of Justin Timberlake. He was also Niall’s last artist.

TEAM NIALL IS FULL!

It was ALL Snoop now who was the only coach to have a spot left on his team.  Poor “Bullfrog” didn’t know what he was walking into during his audition while singing his heart out.  Perhaps, not knowing he didn’t have a shot on Team Reba nor Buble.  Snoop did not turn for this folksy sounding artist.  The next audition is a true Country artist.
Completing Snoop Dogg!

Makenzie Phipps was born and raised in Virginia.  She and her parents moved to Nashville, Tennessee to invest in her music career.  Upon hearing Makenzie’s strong Country vocals, Snoop looked to Reba who gave her approval and Snoop turned for Makenzie.  She was left speechless after the famous hip-hop rap singer turned for her.
Reba said her team is full, but they have this “little thing called STEAL…so don’t get too comfortable [on Team Snoop].”  Snoop revealed that she was his last pick on his Team.  Snoop told her that they are on each other’s teams and she completes him.  Thus…

TEAM SNOOP IS FULL!
