The Voice got off to a melodious start during Monday’s (September 23) Season 26 premiere. There were several four-chair turners who are bound to become fan favorites throughout the season, touching contestant testimonials, and a lot of lighthearted moments between blind auditions.

This season’s premiere saw the introduction of not one but two new coaches: hip-hop superstar Snoop Dogg and crooner Michael Bublé. So how did the fare alongside returnees Gwen Stefani and Reba McEntire?

Well, they both leaned into their own particular strengths and reputations. Snoop was seemingly always ready with a rhyme to match the moment during his contestant dialoguing, and he even brought out a smoky visual effect as a joke about his long-lived love of, erm, herbal supplements. Meanwhile, Bublé played to the crowd and made his recruit pitches personal whenever he could, getting genuinely emotional in certain moments when the stories hit home for him.

    I thought Michael was actually a bit bland. I don't know much about Snoop but he seems to have a big heart and a lot of musical knowledge. I think he will be a good coach. I do think there was too much play between the coaches that took up too much time. The show is supposed to be about new voices, not the coaches. Don't get me wrong, I enjoy the banter but it just seemed excessive last night.

    I think they were both charming and interesting, though it seems alll their interactions took away from the singers' performances.
