“THIS FOUR JUST DESTROYED THE VOICE STAGE — AND NO ONE KNOWS WHAT’S GOING ON.” During a closed rehearsal, Snoop Dogg unexpectedly sings instead of raps, prompting Reba, Niall, and Michael Bublé to turn around as if they’ve heard the impossible. Seconds later, the four harmonize — and the studio falls silent for a moment too perfect to be called… practice. Reba whispers, “This isn’t a rehearsal, this is a performance.” Niall laughs so hard, Bublé freezes, and Snoop — with his incredibly soft, warm voice — takes the spotlight. When They Finally Finish, The Crew Is Left Gaping:A Rapper, A Country Diva, A Pop Star, And A Vocal Jazz King Have Just Turned A Rehearsal Into A Performance Of Epic Proportions.

Steve Miller Band’s “The Joker” is one of the most recognizable songs ever and has been covered by countless artists — but trust us when we say nobody has performed it quite like Reba McEntire, Michael Bublé, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg. In a video released on September 19 — just a few days before Season 28 of The Voice premieres — the Coaches celebrated the new season the best way they knew how: by delivering a dazzling live performance of “The Joker” that no fan should miss.

It was immediately apparent from the start of the video that the energy level in the building was at an all-time high. A Coaches’ performance has been a staple of The Voice for years. “Have fun, guys. It’s a real pleasure and honor to sing with you guys,” Bublé told everyone before they took the stage.

The Voice studio was buzzing as the Coaches took the stage — Horan even high-fived a few lucky fans in the front row.

The Coaches were barely on stage for a few seconds when the familiar notes of “The Joker” played. McEntire set the standard with her iconic vocals by singing the track’s opening lyrics with a twist.

“Some people call me the space cowgirl, yeah,” she sang.

Of course, Snoop Dogg had the privilege of singing the timeless line, “And some people call me the gangster of love,” which had Bublé breaking out in a huge smile. (Snoop’s singing voice is so good!)

Everyone sounded fantastic. The entire performance saw the stars alternate verses, but the real magic happened during the refrains. Hearing McEntire, Bublé, Horan, and Snoop pull off four-way harmonies was literal music to our ears.

If this is the kind of party they’re trying to cultivate throughout Season 28 of The Voice, fans are in for a real treat.
