Sofronio Vasquez stunned The Voice fans when he recently admitted that, if given the chance to go back, he would not pick Michael Bublé as his coach. The unexpected confession has left many wondering—what happened behind the scenes that changed his perspective?
A Shocking Revelation
In a candid interview, Vasquez, who won The Voice under Team Bublé, opened up about his experience working with the Grammy-winning singer. While he expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity and praised Bublé’s mentorship, he also revealed a surprising truth: if he had to do it all over again, he would have chosen a different coach.
What Went Wrong?
Contrary to what some might think, Vasquez’s reasoning isn’t about a lack of support or tension between him and Bublé. Instead, he explained that their musical styles were not as compatible as he initially thought.
“Michael is an incredible artist, and I learned a lot from him, but I think my artistry would have flourished more under someone who aligned more closely with my personal sound,” Vasquez revealed. “Looking back, I probably should have chosen someone who could have helped me shape my unique style rather than adapt to theirs.”
The Struggles of Finding His Own Voice
Throughout the competition, Vasquez faced challenges trying to balance his own musical identity with Bublé’s signature crooner style. Fans may remember moments when judges commented on Vasquez needing to break out of the mold and showcase more originality.
Although he ultimately won the competition, Vasquez admitted that it wasn’t until after The Voice that he truly began discovering his own sound. “It took me a while after the show to break away from that influence and fully embrace who I am as an artist,” he shared.
No Bad Blood—Only Lessons Learned
Despite his words, Vasquez was quick to clarify that he holds no resentment toward Bublé. In fact, he credits him for pushing him outside of his comfort zone. “At the end of the day, I wouldn’t be where I am without him. But if I had the chance to choose again, I might have gone with someone who could have helped me fine-tune my originality from the start.”
What’s Next for Vasquez?
Since winning The Voice, Vasquez has been carving his own path in the music industry. He’s currently working on his debut album, which he promises will be a true reflection of his artistic identity—something he felt he couldn’t fully express during the competition.
With this bold confession, Vasquez has sparked conversations about the importance of choosing the right mentor—not just for winning a show, but for long-term artistic growth.
