Rookie Coach Bublé Guides Sofronio Vasquez to The Voice Triumph
In a jaw-dropping turn of events, Sofronio Vasquez has been crowned the winner of The Voice season 26, marking an extraordinary victory for rookie coach Michael Bublé. What makes this win even more surprising is that Bublé entered the competition with no prior coaching experience, yet managed to bring home the trophy with his powerhouse team of contestants.
Vasquez, known as the “Filipino Phenom” by his coach, was overwhelmed with emotion, falling to his knees in tears as the final results were revealed during a star-studded, two-hour finale. The night was filled with unforgettable performances, including Kelly Clarkson’s debut of her holiday single “You for Christmas” and a dazzling duet from Snoop Dogg and Sting performing their new song “Another Part of Me.”

Bublé, who had two contestants in the finals, was practically guaranteed a win after the results for the top five were announced. Vasquez’s victory meant his teammate, Shye, claimed second place, solidifying Bublé’s impressive debut on the show. After the announcement, Vasquez shared an emotional moment with Bublé, who had already expressed how much he admired Vasquez’s voice and artistry, especially after the 32-year-old from Utica, N.Y., nailed his Blind Audition performance of “I’m Goin’ Down” by Mary J. Blige.

Throughout the season, Vasquez showcased his remarkable vocal range, performing hits like Roy Orbison’s “Crying,” Celine Dion’s “The Power of Love,” and the show-stopping “Unstoppable” by Sia, which earned high praise from Reba McEntire. McEntire herself called Vasquez “unstoppable today and forever on,” a sentiment that perfectly matched the contestant’s energy in the finale.
As Bublé celebrated his victory, he couldn’t help but joke about his glee, saying, “I’m gonna have to go suck on lemons to stop smiling.” The night was truly about Vasquez’s victory, but it also featured other performances from former Voice winners like Asher HaVon (season 25) and an emotional dedication from HaVon to Reba McEntire. The finale also brought some fun moments with appearances from iconic ’80s band Tears for Fears.
For Bublé, his rookie season ended in triumph, and fans will be excited to see him return as a coach for next season. Meanwhile, other fan-favorite coaches like Snoop Dogg, Gwen Stefani, and Reba McEntire will be taking a break. Joining the panel next season will be newcomers Kelsea Ballerini and returning coaches John Legend and Adam Levine. The show will return for its 27th season on February 3, promising even more surprises and show-stopping performances.
It’s safe to say that this season of The Voice has set the bar high, and with rookie coach Bublé’s stellar debut, next season is already shaping up to be another must-watch event.
