LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: 'The Voice' Season 26 wrapped up the battle rounds with a memorable performance from Cassidy Lee and Cameron Wright. The duo took on the classic hit 'You're No Good', bringing their unique flair to the song. Both delivered powerhouse performances, leaving little room for error as they battled it out in front of the coaches.

However, despite Cassidy's impeccable vocal control and heart-felt delivery, Michael Bublé decided to pick Cameron. This left fans scratching their heads, especially considering Cassidy's undeniable talent and stage presence. Michael had initially been the one to turn his chair for Cassidy, clearly recognizing her potential from the start. As the battle round came to a close, it appeared that Michael was swayed by Cameron's performance, and couldn't see the long-term potential Cassidy had in the competition. However, Reba McEntire wasn't about to let such a talent slip away and without hesitation, she slammed the steal button, swooping in to claim Cassidy for her team. It became clear that Reba saw something in Cassidy that perhaps Michael hadn't fully realized, something special that could take her deep into the season. Michael, for all his legendary vocal talent and experience, may now be reflecting on the choice he made, wondering if he let go of a diamond in the rough.
