Snoop Dogg, the rap legend known for his gritty rhymes, recently proved he can sing with as much soul as he can rap. During a performance on “The Voice,” he joined his finalist, Jeremy Beloate, in a soulful rendition of Otis Redding’s “(Sittin’ On) The Dock of the Bay.”
The crowd went wild, and it was easy to see why. The performance was a genuine, heartfelt tribute to Redding, and it felt like we were transported back to the golden age of R&B. It was a rare moment of magic on a talent show, and it was made even more special by the fact that the performance took place on the anniversary of Redding’s death (Dec 10th).
The chemistry between coach and contestant was undeniable. While Michael Bublé’s Sofronio Vasquez took home the trophy, Snoop and Jeremy delivered a performance that will be replayed for years to come.
The video of their collaboration gained nearly 100K likes within one day and has received an abundance of compliments like “Jermy and Snoop Dogg sound amazing together”.
One fan also commented, “Literary THE BEST worldwide collaboration I’ve ever seen!! From one end of the spectrum to the next as they came together in a beautiful way, why can’t the world come together like this?”
Snoop Dogg’s presence on “The Voice” is a breath of fresh air. While he’s a legendary rapper and cultural icon, his smooth vocals on the show surprised many viewers. Although he’s hinted at his melodic side before, this is the moment he fully embraced his role as a vocalist.
