The countdown to The Voice Season 28 reached a fever pitch this week when Michael Bublé delivered a backstage whisper to co-coach Niall Horan that fans are calling legendary:
“You’re about to see magic unfold.”
The moment, caught on a hot mic, set the tone for a Coaches’ performance that is already being hailed as one of the most memorable in the show’s history.
To celebrate the upcoming season, Bublé joined Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg for a dazzling rendition of Steve Miller Band’s classic, “Space Cowboy.” From the first notes, the energy in the studio was electric. McEntire kicked off with her signature flair, reimagining the opening lyrics with a playful twist:
“Some people call me the space cowgirl, yeah,” she sang, immediately drawing cheers from the audience.
Snoop Dogg followed with the iconic line, “And some people call me the gangster of love,” prompting Bublé to beam with delight. Fans were quick to note that Snoop’s singing was unexpectedly impressive, perfectly blending with the powerhouse vocals of McEntire, the smooth tones of Bublé, and Horan’s harmonies.
The performance reached its peak during the four-way harmonies, with each coach weaving their voice seamlessly into the others. “It was literal music to our ears,” one fan tweeted, echoing the sentiment of viewers across social media.
Bublé’s whispered encouragement to Horan, coupled with the electrifying live performance, has fans convinced that Season 28 of The Voice is already off to a spectacular start. The show premieres Monday, September 22 at 8/7c on NBC, with the Blind Auditions spanning two full hours, followed by a second episode the next night. Episodes will also be available on-demand via Peacock.
With coaches this talented and moments this memorable, viewers can expect a season full of musical magic — just as Bublé predicted.
