Watch Chrisdeo’s Blind Audition on The Voice Season 26

Everyone on The Voice tries to win but that’s not all NBC The competition show is over, as revealed in one of the Blind Auditions in Monday night’s Season 26 premiere. Chrisdeo, a 16-year-old from Queens, New York, had such an emotional time singing that she had the coaches joining her in what they hoped would be the first of many tears of joy.

How to watch

Watch The Voice on Mondays at 8:00/7:00 p.m. on NBC and the following day on Peacock.

Chrisdeo lives with her single mother and three sisters in the low-income housing projects of Queens, an environment she says is not conducive to music. The teen said there are shootings and gang activity around her, and that when she tries to play the piano in her family’s apartment, her neighbor bangs on the wall.

“It’s really hard because that’s my life,” she said. “And that’s my way out of it.”

For her Blind Audition, Chrisdeo chose to sing Jason Miraz’s “I Won’t Give Up,” a song she says reminds her of her mother and how she “never gave up on me.”

Snoop Dogg was the first Coach to turn his chair, pressing the button after a few notes. Chrisdeo was initially visibly happy to see a Coach turn around, but when Michael Bublé turned his chair just before the song ended, the emotions became too much for the 16-year-old and she burst into tears.

Coaches Gwen Stefani and Reba McEntire quickly and lovingly ran onto the stage to hug and support the overwhelmed teen in a genuinely sweet moment, with McEntire promising that “those boys are going to take good care of you.”

“Your voice is angelic. It’s like a diamond in the rough,” Stefani said. “It sounded like you didn’t have the experience for me. That’s okay, because we’re here to coach you. And right now you have Michael Bublé, one of the greatest singers of all time, and Snoop Dogg, my idol.”

As for who her coach would be, Bublé started off by joking that seeing him turn around made Chrisdeo go from happy to sad, but the reality was much deeper. Chrisdeo explained that she performs on the streets of New York and is used to people laughing at her.

“Everyone was so happy to see me. I’ve never felt that before,” she said through tears.

“Thank you so much for sharing your talent with us,” McEntire said. “And the next time those people on the street say bad things to you, know that all the angels are around you, listening to you as you do what God gave you to do, and that’s sing with your beautiful voice.

“When I heard your first note, I knew I had to turn around and push that button,” Snoop Dogg said. “And then I heard your story, because you had the confidence to come out here and sing after you said they laughed at you. But we couldn’t hear that. You’re strong. You’ve got a gift and you’re young, so you still have time to grow and learn how to cry tears of joy.”

And so Chrisdeo joined Team Snoop.

“I pushed the button because I wanted to see what spirit would fit that song,” coach Snoop said.

It is clear that the coaches on The Voice are better judges of talent than Chrisdeo’s neighbor.
