LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 26 coach Michael Buble showed his quirky tactics in a playful bid to win over contestants, but this time, his antics took an unexpected turn. In the latest episode, he found himself in a light-hearted competition with fellow coach Snoop Dogg, both eager to impress aspiring singer Mary McAvoy.

Mary took the stage with a heartfelt rendition of 'Say You Love Me', but her performance was marred by noticeable pitch issues and an unsteady voice. Despite her noticeable shaky notes and tuning issues, Michael and Snoop still turned their chairs for her.

With his characteristic charm, he assured her that he could help refine her skills and bring out the best in her voice. Michael showed a terrible macaroni necklace and claimed he would give it to Mary if she picked him. Meanwhile, Snoop was also ready for the game and had towels with his name written on them. Both Michael and Snoop employ cryptic tactics to entice the contestants.

Who did Mary McAvoy pick?

After a cutthroat competition among the coaches, Mary McAvoy ultimately decided to team up with Snoop Dogg. The tension in the air was palpable as both coaches made their best pitches, showcasing their unique styles and strategies to win her over. However, in a surprising twist, Mary’s choice wasn’t driven by a desire for the coach she believed could best guide her through her musical journey.

Instead, she opted for Snoop because he was the first to turn his chair. However, Mary's decision was driven by emotion and could lead to her downfall in the future on NBC show.
