Season 26 of The Voice premiered this week, introducing a fresh lineup of judges, including music legends Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire, and Gwen Stefani. While Reba and Stefani are familiar faces to fans (with Reba winning Season 25), Bublé and Snoop Dogg are new to the show. To kick off the season, the five judges performed the Eagles’ classic “Heartache Tonight,” setting an exciting tone for the new season.
The performance was well-received, but Gwen Stefani’s outfit drew criticism from some viewers. While Snoop Dogg was praised for his unexpected vocal skills and smooth performance, Stefani’s clothing choice became a topic of debate.
Some fans took to social media, questioning her fashion decision. “Why can’t Gwen wear proper clothing? Is it a show for youngsters, or only adults? It’s disgusting,” one wrote. Another commented, “Gwen is too old to dress like a teenager. Time to have class like Reba—always dressed like a star with class.”
While Snoop and Reba received compliments for their style and vocals, Stefani’s outfit sparked a backlash, with some calling for her to adopt a more “classy” look. Despite the criticism, the new season of The Voice promises plenty of excitement with its diverse group of judges and performances.
