Just last night, Sofronio Vasquez stood shoulder to shoulder with Shye as the pair waited to hear which of them was the winner of The Voice season 26. It was a win-win situation for coach Michael Bublé, who coached the top two artists in his debut season on The Voice. When host Carson Daly made his official announcement, Vasquez became the first-ever Filipino contestant to win the U.S. version of the show. Now, he’s ready to soak in the moment—and his fellow Team Bublé member is first on his list to celebrate.
Celebrating Team Bublé’s Legacy on ‘The Voice’
Speaking to American Songwriter from an NBCUniversal conference room the day after the season 26 finale, Sofronio Vasquez was looking forward to celebrating his victory. The 32-year-old former dental student plans to bring the trophy both to his birthplace in the Philippines and his adopted hometown of Utica, New York. But first, he had some business to take care of in Los Angeles.
“I told [Shye,] ‘OK, please make sure we have a date tonight,’” Vasquez said. “I have a whole lot of ideas.”
Shye was the first to hug her Team Bublé castmate after Daly announced the winner. And the 18-year-old betrayed no hint of bitterness at her runner-up finish. In fact, she wrote in a Tuesday (Dec. 11) Instagram post that second ” is my favorite place to be.”
“and i am so hype for what’s next and it’s all thanks to you guys,” she wrote.
With an all-Team Bublé final 2 in his debut season, the “Feeling Good” crooner has established himself as a force to be reckoned with on The Voice. Beyond that, however, Bublé has committed to a continuing investment in both artists’ futures.
“He told me… ‘You’re going to be working your ass off, and I’m going to be with you,’” Vasquez told American Songwriter. “‘That’s an assurance.’”
Sofronio Vasquez Reflects on Performing With “Idol” Michael Bublé
Winning The Voice is certainly life-changing. Sofronio Vasquez walks away with a recording contract and a $100,000 cash prize. However, the highlight of his night came a little earlier, when he joined coach Michael Bublé onstage for a spirited duet of The Miracles’ “Who’s Lovin’ You.”
“He’s been my idol forever,” Vasquez told American Songwriter. “I’ve been singing his songs back home… [I got] to feel like I was Bublé for a minute.
