Reba McEntire joined Team Reba artist Danny Joseph to deliver a ābreathtaking duetā on the season finale of The Voice on Tuesday evening (December 10). Together, the coach-contestant duo delivered a stunning rendition of āYou Don't Know Meā by Ray Charles.
Joseph began his journey on season 26 of The Voice when he performed āI Put a Spell On Youā by Screamin' Jay Hawkins during the blind auditions. His rendition earned a four-chair turn and Snoop Doggās āblock,ā which he used against fellow first-time coach Michael BublĆ©. Snoop Dogg, McEntire and Gwen Stefani competed for Joseph to join their team. Joseph, who is from London, England, and now lives in Dallas, Texas, earned praise from all four coaches after his performance.
āIām very competitive, and I work real hard, and Iāll help you any way I can,ā McEntire said. āWeād have a great time. Iād love to have you on my team. ā¦I really wanted him on my team. He had a great range, raspy, sexy-sounding. He was wailing on the guitar, which I absolutely loved. I think heās very talented.ā
After selecting McEntire as his coach, Joseph went on to perform songs by Chris Stapleton, Luke Combs, Amy Winehouse and other powerhouse artists. Ultimately, Joseph made it to the top 5 in the 26th season of the hit competition show. He said in a heartfelt message to McEntire before the winner was revealed: āI just wanna say thank you so much from the bottom of my heart (for) believing in me, picking me through every round. Itās a dream come true to sing with you. Iām so thankful for this opportunity. Youāve been the best coach I couldāve asked for. Thank you.ā
