Why not just go for the jugular and get Snoop Dogg, Chance, Drake and Diddy as mentors on this show, and watch the audience leave in droves 🙂 Actually, as a hip hop aficionado, it's interesting to see that TPTB is even starting to lean in this direction. There were teasers of this back in the OG judges days with Moses Stone even advancing to the playoffs, and getting Chance the Rapper was a further step (although weirdly enough, only Maddi Jane qualifies as a "rapper" on any of his teams, and that's being stymied over time).    Snoop was in Wrestlemania, Scary Movie 5 and worked with Kelly Clarkson in the attempted and failed American version of Univision- the American Song Contest. Yes, there were rappers there, and large spectacle of performances that contrast greatly with what's in the Voice. Frankly, between Wrestlemania and ASC, the Voice is wayy too small for Snoop's outsized personality. Dude offers little advice to actual singers, but we'll likely get acts with more personality, more hip-hop cadences, and maybe an actual full-time rapper. And maybe one of the worst acoustic "Gin and Juice" and "Drop It Like It's Hot" performances you'll see on the show.   ETA - Gwen obviously had her hip hop era in the early 2000s she's definitely trying to suppress on the show (remember "Hollaback Girl"). With Snoop in the fold maybe she'll lean more into that.     Buble is a modern day revivalist of traditional pop and the Great American Songbook - with "modern day" meaning he did this in the 2000s and 2010s, bringing 1950s influenced stuff 60 years later. If you're a millennial into music at the time, you'll definitely remember his easy listening pop crossover "Haven't Met You Yet". In the 2020s, he's a definite artifact musically. He's also a modern day troll - peep his 2015 AGT guest judge stint where he "trolled" the Drake of magicians and didn't join in a hypnosis act:     IICR, Buble has a reputation for being a bit of a perfectionist and strict in what he's looking for, kinda like Harry Connick Jr. in Idol, who was another jazzy showtunes guy. I think that might be some of the appeal, plus Buble's good looks and charm certainly appeal to this kinda audience. But in a sea of judges who are yes men and women nowadays, maybe that could be a change. We'll see how that goes. And he'll certainly bring back some trad pop types into this show              

And I oop

1.    Abi Carter - “Part of that World” 2.    Abi Carter - “The Chain” 3.    Will Moseley - “Born to Be Wild” 4.    Jack Blocker - “Space Oddity” 5.    Emmy Russell - “Carried Me With You” 6.    Jack Blocker - “Nobody’s Fool” 7.    Triston Harper - “Almost There” 8.    Will Moseley - “Ballad of a Lonesome Cowboy” 9.    Emmy Russell - “The Climb” 10.    Triston Harper - “Life is a Highway”  

Seems too obvious IMO. For example, Madison attached an acoustic version of The Climb to a recent ig post about semis hometown dedication week which I thought was her way of sharing what song she'll be singing but others said otherwise. Based on that, I'm leaning more towards no 

SNOOP??? I'M TOTALLY IN
