Coach Predicts Reba Will Win ‘The Voice’ With “Gritty” Country Singer
on Oct 07, 2025
The final night of The Voice Season 28 Blind Auditions brought incredible performances and a winner prediction
The Voice Blind Auditions are officially over! Michael Buble, Reba McEntire, Niall Horan, and Snoop Dogg ended Tuesday night’s episode with 12 team members each, bringing an end to the Season 28 Blind Auditions.
One of the last contestants to audition was country singer Aaron Nichols. The Bakersfield, California, native brought his “gravelly” and “gritty” vocals to the stage with a cover of Chris Stapleton’s “Cold.”
Reba McEntire was the first to turn her chair, giving Nichols a thumbs-up as he pointed to her. Michael Buble and Snoop Dogg also turned, but they were well aware that they had a battle on their hands to get Nichols to choose a team other than Reba’s.
Michael Buble Predicts a Winner
Throughout the Blind Auditions, we heard coaches predict who would make it to the end of the competition. But a coach predicted the winner for the first time this season during Tuesday’s episode.
“Man, that voice, that gravel, that grittiness,” Buble told Aaron, adding that he knew he may not have a chance but, “Reba McEntire is going to win The Voice with this dude. And at least I want to be able to say I turned my chair and threw my hat into the ring.”
Niall agreed with Michael’s assessment, saying, “There soul in there for days.”
Coach Snoop pleaded his case with Nichols, hoping that their California connection would sway the singer.
When it came time to pick a coach, Aaron Nichols didn’t hesitate, saying that his wife wouldn’t let him live it down if he didn’t choose to join Team Reba.
“That was my last artist to fill my team. That gravelly voice, it’s very sexy and tough,” Reba said. “I just love it.”
