The Voice contestant Mindy Miller turned heads during the first round of Blind Auditions on Monday with her stirring rendition of Lainey Wilson’s “Wildflowers and Wild Horses,” prompting coach Snoop Dogg to use his block against Reba McEntire.
Snoop was the first to turn his chair, and McEntire, who could be seen singing along to the Wilson hit, quickly followed.
Miller’s husband and son watched from backstage, and at the end of her performance, her son sweetly shouted, “Good job, Mom!”
When McEntire realized she had been blocked, she jumped up out of her seat to confront Snoop. He ran onto the stage toward Miller, explaining, “I blocked Reba so I could only have you!”
Meanwhile, McEntire jokingly threatened him, “I’m going to take all your Skittles. No more Skittles for you!”
The contestant introduced herself before McEntire took a moment to compliment her.
“My name is Mindy Miller. I am from Damascus, Maryland, but I live in Nashville, Tennessee,” she revealed.
McEntire told her, “I think You’re fantastic. Don’t let this bother you at all. Just pretend it’s gone. Congratulations for being here.”
Michael Bublé explained why he thought Snoop Dogg used his block, telling her, “If that doesn’t tell you what we think of Reba McEntire and how much of a threat she is Snoop called a Reba Magnet Tire because people would turn, the moment they turn their eyes lock and you go like, oh no, it’s over.”
Niall Horan admitted the situation was “kind of unfair.”
“I’ll be honest with you,” he said. “I was just in two minds whether to hit the button or not. Kind of sad I didn’t, to be honest. You could tell by your voice you were so experienced, but you’re with the main man.”
Snoop Dogg was thrilled to welcome Mindy to his team.
“I heard something and when I turned around I seen something because I felt something and I knew blocking Reba would be my best chance at getting to you. And once I initiated my roadblock, I was able to pursue you.”
The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8/7c on NBC.
