Part one of The Voice’s season 26 finale aired on Monday and will conclude tonight – marking the end to Snoop Dogg’s first go at being a coach.
According to an insider who was at the taping of the competition show, filmed at the famous NBCUniversal lot, the night appeared emotional for all the coaches – but hit the California Love hitmaker the hardest.
When Team Snoop finalist Jeremy Beloate took the stage to perform his first song of the evening, his coach’s tears began to fall – and never stopped.
The contestant sang a heart-wrenching rendition of What The World Needs Is Love By Jackie DeShannon – which was made even more powerful with a choir supporting him on stage.
During the performance, NBC cameras briefly caught Snoop, 53, being present in the moment as tears streamed from his closed eyes.
After Jeremy finished the song, Snoop cried even harder and began to empty the box of tissues that was sitting in the basket under his chair.
Host Carson Daly, 51, also noted how emotional Snoop was, and quipped: “19 minutes in and you’re already crying. You are part of so many companies.
“If you’re not a spokesperson for Kleenex tomorrow, someone on your team is doing something wrong.”

Though some might assume Snoop played up the moment for the cameras when filming stopped, he appeared even more emotional, a source told The U.S. Sun.
“Snoop cried so much harder when cameras were cut. Jeremy wasn’t even on the stage anymore and they were well into commercial break and he couldn’t stop.
“He was feeling raw, genuine emotion and he had to pull it together by the time the commercial break was done. He went through nearly the entire basket of tissues.”
At one point, Snoop was crying so hard, his co-star Reba, 69, got up out of her chair and comforted him, offering a long hug and words of support.
The Voice viewers think new coach ‘stole the show’ on premiere – while other first-timer ‘failed to make an impact’
“Damn how do you guys do this every year? This s**t hits deep,” Snoop was heard telling the country superstar – who is back for her second season.
Joining Snoop’s finalist this season are Danny Joseph for Team Reba and Sydney Sterlace for Team Gwen Stefani.
Michael Buble – who is also making his The Voice debut this season – is the only coach to have two singers in the finale, being represented by Sofronio Vasquez and Shye.
CHANCE OF A LIFETIME
Each contestant is now hoping they have done what it takes to be crowned champion to win the coveted $100,000 and a recording contract.
On Monday for part one of the finale, each artist performed twice in the episode.
They each crooned a ballad and also performed an uptempo number.
Although season 26 is coming to an end, season 27 has already filmed blind auditions and isn’t too far away.
