The voice is officially back for Season 26 with coaches Reba McEntire, Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg and Michael Bublé. The first episode, which aired on September 23, featured some of the most inspired blind auditions yet. From a worship leader who scored a 4-chair turn by singing Zach Bryan to a 16-year-old street singer who made all the coaches cry, the competition is getting tougher than ever. And with the introduction of the Coach Replay button, coaches can even vie for an artist after not turn their chairs – we are in for an unpredictable journey.

So what can we expect from this season? We’ll see a more instinctive approach from McEntire, pushing her button during the blinds.
“It’s not about what (the artists) look like or how they sound, but what we feel when they perform,” she said. “Are we inspired? Do we feel something? I would turn around in a heartbeat if someone made me feel something – cry or laugh – but I have to feel something. A lot of people can sing. How many people can touch your heart when they sing? That’s what we’re looking for, and we’ve chosen an eclectic group of entertainers and singers. They may not be the fanciest or maybe the youngest, but it’s about who touched our hearts.”
Stefani reflects on her professional successes and hopes to impart some wisdom to her team members. “You are in this different position as a coach where you can look back on your career and think, ‘My goodness, how did I do this? Let me share this with them because maybe I can help them do it too.’ It’s just super fulfilling,” she said.
