McEntire used her button last week on contestant Kendall Eugene
Snoop Dogg felt his late mother’s presence on The Voice.
In the Monday, Sept. 30 episode of the singing competition series, Snoop used his one Coach Replay button on 61-year-old Gail Bliss — and he said his late mom encouraged him to do it.
After Bliss’ audition, which got no chair turns, Snoop said “the spirit of my mother is in me right now.”
“My mother’s sister’s name was Gail, which was one of my favorite aunties. You couldn’t see me but I had my hand like this the whole way,” Snoop, 52, said as he hovered his hand over the button.
“But they added a piece to the puzzle this year called the Coach’s Replay… so if I were to push this button right now you would be on my team,” he said.
Then, Snoop pushed the red button and caused Bliss — who is the oldest person in the competition yet — to shed tears and start jumping up and down.
Snoop gave her a big hug and said “my mother’s spirit is all in you right now.”
“I was going to push but I didn’t because I was waiting on Reba [McEntire]. I knew if Reba pushed I would lose,” he said. “She has stage presence and she has a look about herself that looks like she was a damn superstar.”
