Blind auditions are winding down on season 28 of The Voice, but not before all four coaches were absolutely stunned by a contestant who sparked a dramatic four chair turn.
The moment occurred during the final round of blind auditions on Tuesday, October 7, when a performer named Trinity brought down the house with a rendition of the classic 1996 En Vogue hit, “Don’t Let Go (Love).”
Almost immediately, coaches Michael Bublé and Niall Horan made eyes with each other, barely able to grasp what they were hearing, while Reba McEntire exclaimed, “She’s good!”
Horan was the first to smash his buzzer, enthusiastically hitting it with his forehead just seconds before Trinity slayed with a high note, causing the audience to go wild. McEntire was the second to lock in, followed by Bublé, who hit the buzzer with the heel of his shoe. Finally, Snoop Dogg was the last to hit his buzzer, turning his chair around just in time to catch the final moments of Trinity’s performance.

“Young lady, in the world of The Voice, you have what we call a ‘One, two, three, and to the four,’” said Snoop, as Trinity wrapped up her audition. “Oh my gosh, that was great,” gushed McEntire. “You’re a powerhouse. So good. Your singing, your runs, your range? My dance card is almost full … And I couldn’t hit it fast enough.”
“I think you’re marvelous and I’d love for you to be on my team,” the 70-year-old country singer added.
“It was so cool listening to you back there and watching Reba listen to you,” Bublé quipped, before mimicking McEntire’s accent. “Because she was looking at us and saying, ‘What’s wrong with you people? Why aren’t you turning your chairs, idiots?’”
Bublé reiterated that despite the late stage in auditions with not many slots left, that she was “too good” not to choose. “I feel like I could give you a phone book, and you could sing that, and you would crush it,” he noted. “And it would be like a No. 1 hot on Billboard, in a minute.”

Snoop was next to make his case for Trinity to choose him as her coach. “So, that song is an En Vogue song, and it’s sung with four women,” the rapper pointed out. “The way you held that song down by yourself, without all of those backgrounds and ad libs, that’s strength. That’s power. You remind me of Donna Summer, you just up there looking like a superstar.”
But despite Snoop’s impassioned plea for her to come join his team, Trinity ultimately chose Bublé, who said he was “dumbfounded” to hear his name come out of her mouth. Suffice to say, as the reality competition series heads into the battle stage next week on October 13, he’s definitely got a ringer on his side.
