Sofronio Vasquez, ‘Tawag ng Tanghalan’ Season 2 and All-Star Grand Resbak finalist, earns 4-chair turn
For years, It’s Showtime’s “Tawag ng Tanghalan” has served as a launching pad for aspiring Filipino singers, showcasing remarkable talents who often go on to achieve significant success both locally and internationally.
The current season of the popular talent show highlights the skills of Filipino students, reinforcing the program’s reputation as a nurturing ground for the next generation of artists.
Among its many standout talents is Sofronio Vasquez, a former finalist of “Tawag ng Tanghalan” Season 2 from Misamis Occidental, who has recently made chairs turned on the American stage.
Prior to his performance, Vasquez teased his followers on Instagram, hinting at his participation in “The Voice” with a post featuring the show’s poster and the caption, “Been keeping this secret for a long time and yes, I AUDITIONED for The Voice Season 26!”
The third placer for the special edition of “Tawag ng Tanghalan,” Vasquez captured the attention of judges during his blind audition on the Season 26 of “The Voice” USA, earning a rare honor: all four coaches – Snoop Dogg, Michael Bublé, Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani – turned their chairs in a unanimous display of admiration, in just more or less than 10 seconds into the song.
His rendition of Mary J. Blige’s “I’m Goin’ Down” not only garnered him a standing ovation but also left the esteemed panel in awe.
Snoop Dogg, who turned first just when Vasquez sang the first few words emphasized the importance of mentorship in Vasquez’s journey.
“This country, alternative, croony—this is soul, your soul, your spirit,” he remarked, encouraging Vasquez to embrace his unique artistry and to continue growing under the guidance of a strong coach.
McEntire praised Vasquez’s “buttery” voice, highlighting the emotional depth that resonated with her, describing his voice as “easy on the ears” yet at the same time its “soulfulness touches my heart.”
Stefani echoed this sentiment, declaring, “That was a Grammy performance,” attributing Vasquez’s talent to a divine gift.
On the other hand, Bublé took a moment to express his gratitude, saying, “Salamat,” as he reflected on the beautiful relationship he has shared with the Philippines over the years. He emphasized how proud Filipinos must feel of Vasquez, noting the connection he has with the nation’s rich musical heritage.
