This story is SPOILER FREE after The Voice’s November 19 episode, however you may nonetheless stream Season 26 with a Peacock subscription for those who’re not caught up.
The Voice Season 26 has formally entered the Playoff portion of the 2024 TV schedule, the place all 4 coaches must select simply two of their remaining 5 workforce members to symbolize them within the dwell exhibits. On Tuesday, nonetheless, the main target was solely on Gwen Stefani’s workforce, as all of her artists carried out earlier than she needed to make her painful determination. Machine Gun Kelly helped a bit of, serving as a Playoff mentor for her workforce’s rehearsals, and whereas I used to be pleasantly shocked at how engaged he was, it was a unique twist — studying who will likely be Snoop Dogg’s advisor — that actually caught me off guard.
MGK Makes His Voice Debut To Assist Crew Gwen
It’s been a busy month for Machine Gun Kelly, as he made his debut on The Voice simply days after Megan Fox introduced in an oozy pic that they’re having a child. Though serving as a Playoff advisor for Gwen Stefani’s workforce in all probability pales compared to turning into a father once more, MGK actually appeared to embrace his function.
All due respect to the rapper, perhaps I did not anticipate the person who’s been identified to climb to harmful heights throughout his exhibits and smash his face with a champagne glass to offer such sound recommendation to the No Doubt singer’s workforce members. However I liked how MGK made himself relatable to the contestants, stating that he, too, had labored loads of quick meals jobs and — like Crew Gwen’s Jan Dan — had been on stage when his little one was born.
He wasn’t shy about sharing his opinion, serving to the singers connect with the emotion of the lyrics they had been singing. He inspired them to ad-lib and make sudden selections, as a result of “for some individuals, bizarre is the best way.”
I really would have welcomed the prospect to see Machine Gun Kelly function the advisor for the opposite groups, however that’s apparently not the plan, and I’m really a bit of confused by what that plan is.
Crew Snoop Will Be Suggested By … Simone Biles?
As The Voice teased the continuation of the Playoffs subsequent Monday, Simone Biles was revealed to be Snoop Dogg’s Playoff advisor, and that sort of threw me for a loop. Little question the West Coast rapper is making an attempt to channel that GOAT vitality, and no person’s questioning how wonderful and provoking the Olympic gymnast is, however how properly can she advise singing? I apparently wasn’t the one one confused by this, as followers on X (Twitter) chimed in:
- SIMONE??? That’s so random to me… in order that tracks for snoop 😭😭 – McEnFancy
- Simone Biles????? – houseofwarwick
- I am an enormous Simone Biles fan however wtfork does she must do with singing? Very odd – LukeEverhart1
Now, Simone Biles has carried out on the most important stage on the earth, so perhaps she is going to focus her recommendation on calming the nerves and performing underneath strain. That actually does sound prefer it’s proper up Snoop’s alley.
I gained’t make the error of underestimating the gold medalist, both, the best way that I might need underestimated MGK. This additionally wasn’t the primary time in Season 26 that I’ve been confused by this present that I’ve been expecting the previous 13 years. First they launched a brand new rule that appeared to undermine the entire level of The Voice, after which a Gwen Stefani contestant made historical past by doing one thing that I frankly didn’t know was allowed.
The Voice is preserving me on my toes, and imagine me, I’m nowhere close to as sleek as Simone Biles on that steadiness beam. I’m wanting ahead to seeing what she brings to the singing competitors when Playoffs resume at 8 p.m. ET Monday, November 25, on NBC.
