Kevin James Graham's Blind Audition on Season 26 of The Voice

It's about as pure an example of that The voiceis the central premise in action, as you'll see. In Season 26, Episode 4, two coaches were stunned during a blind audition because they thought the voice they were hearing belonged to someone completely different – of a different gender – than who was actually singing up there on stage.

Singer Kevin James Graham is a 33-year-old from Boston. Not that you would necessarily have guessed that from the way he sang Rod Stewart's “Stay With Me.”

His voice was strong and very high pitched, causing visible confusion among the trainers. In the end, Reba McEntire alone pressed the button to turn her chair, and what she saw surprised her.

“You look like that!?” McEntire exclaimed.

“I watch her all the time and she pushed her button,” Gwen Sefani said of her fellow coach. “And then she saw that it wasn’t the girl she was looking for.”

Michael Bublé was also surprised.

“I kept yelling at Gwen, 'Is this underage?' It’s either a woman or a young guy,” he remembers. “You tripped me up.”

“I swear I thought you were a woman. “Your high-pitched voice made me think, ‘Well, I need another singer.’ I turn around and there you are,” McEntire said to the newest member of her team. “But man, you totally sang. That was great.”

Snoop Dogg had the opposite problem.

“That’s why I’m angry,” he explained. “I was looking for a male singer, but I didn't push the button because I thought you were a fucking woman! You fooled me, man! And then Reba did it.”

“Man, I thought that was a woman, Reba. That's the only reason I didn't push,” Snoop said as the chairs started turning again. McEntire agreed, saying, “That was a shock.”
