“He is a natural-born live performer,” Snoop said of Beloate. “He’s at the pinnacle. He knows how to control his voice and his movements on stage and he proved it with his performance tonight. He was the most incredible singer that sang on ‘The Voice’ stage for Season 26.”

On Facebook, users left comments such as “Snoop messed up by not picking the girl that sang the Whitney song” and ” So disappointed… Snoop made two poor choices… thought this show was about the voices… he will lose… the singers are not strong enough… he let the best go… shame on Snoop… I’m done watching this show. [sic]”

Another added, “I’m done with ‘The Voice’! The idea that Snoop would send THE BEST TWO SINGERS HOME…and choose who he did is just ridiculous! I’m out!” Other comments included “Not picking Austyns is a crime. The show already has enough country singers” and “Oh wow! Unbelievable.”

Aliyah Khaylyn, who performed Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing,” left a lasting impression on the judges, with Gwen Stefani saying, “I’m in shock right now.” Despite this, Snoop decided to let her go.

Beloate’s passionate performance of “The Impossible Dream (My Quest)” by Josh Groban ensured his place in the live shows. As the controversy continues, some fans are eagerly anticipating the upcoming live shows, curious to see how Snoop’s choices will fare.
