NBC’s The Voice is no stranger to surprising fans – but the Season 28 premiere on Monday, September 22nd might have delivered one of the show’s best surprises yet!
During the highly-anticipated premiere episode, Reba McEntire, Michael Bublé, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg performed a surprising and unforgettable rendition of Steve Miller Band’s “The Joker.” And the show teased fans with the epic performance – definitely the highlight of the episode! – on social media on September 19th. What a way to whet fans’ appetites!

‘The Voice’ Coaches Perform ‘The Joker’ For Season 28 Premiere Episode
Before the performance began, Bublé told his fellow coaches: “Have fun, guys. It’s a real pleasure and honor to sing with you guys.” And fun was certainly had by the coaches and the audience alike, with the sensational harmonies and remarkable on-stage chemistry blowing fans away!
Fans were once again reminded that Snoop Dogg could actually sing, rather than rap, after first being wowed by his singing this time last year during a performance of “Heartache Tonight” by The Eagles. It still lives rent-free in many fans’ minds!
Fan Comments
"Such a great performance," raved one fan in the comment section of the video of "The Joker" performance shared to Instagram. "I love how this blends so many different artists and genres and still sounds so incredible," gushed a second, as a third exclaimed: "I just got goosebumps all over from this!"
"I look at this and think Snoop is having the time of his life in a scenario he would have never dreamed up but 100% made happen," noted a fourth. "I wish Snoop would make an album where he sings – not raps," hoped a fifth, adding: "He has a fantastic voice." A sixth concurred: "I agree! He needs to showcase what he has!"
The other judges also got their fair share of love in the comments too, of course. "Niall's voice makes me weak," praised a seventh, followed by four fire emojis. "Reba's vocals just soar," complimented an eighth, as a ninth chimed in: "Never heard Michael Bublé sing anything but Christmas songs... this is absolutely amazing!"
