Max Chambers Wowed Coaches Buble and Snoop Dogg
Coaches Reba McEntire, Michael Buble, Snoop Dogg, and Niall Horan are not easily swayed. If someone really flabbergasts them, then you know that person has great singing chops indeed. Well, Max Chambers was simply fantastic. He just "proceeded to blow everyone away...with his soulful cover of Wonder's 1972 classic," per the outlet. The student from Shreveport, Louisiana, has the finesse of a seasoned artist despite his youth. If you've got it, you've got it.
Per Billboard, "...Chambers' poised, powerful performance had Snoop Dogg jumping out of his seat, howling and singing along, as the teen swung and smiled his way through the soul-funk jam with such ease, confidence and swagger...." Snoop said, "Precious lord, take my hand, lead me on and let me stand! I got to take my glasses off!...A star is born, man."
Michael Buble could hardly contain his excitement. Per Parade, "Max, for my money, is a frontrunner to win The Voice this year. He could be the youngest winner in Voice history. I really think that Max Chambers could be the reason I am a three-peat winner." He went on per Billboard, "I was so excited. I felt like I was doing millions of people a favor. I do hope you'll vote for him because I do feel he deserves to be there."
Max sure is someone to keep an eye on!
