<p>Former <a href="https://ent.abs-cbn.com/tawagngtanghalan/videos"><em><strong>Tawag Ng Tanghalan</strong></em></a> finalist Sofronio Vasquez gave a powerful performance in<em> The Voice USA</em>, making him get an instant four-chair turn.</p><p>In the recent episode of the international singing competition, Sofronio impressed the four coaches—Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dog, Michael Bublé, and  Reba McEntire— with his performance of Mary J. Blige’s “I’m Goin Down”.</p><p>“I could not hit my button fast enough. Your voice is like a butter. It is so easy on the ears but your soulfulness touches my heart. You got my heart,” Reba told Sofronio after his Blind Audition performance.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-0" src="https://www.instagram.com/reel/DAR5yrWSSzV/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=487&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A0%2C%22os%22%3A729805.3999999762%2C%22ls%22%3A729527.2000000477%2C%22le%22%3A729789.6000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="866" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-0" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>The four judges were totally dazzled by the Filipino singer which made them hit their chair button only seconds after Sofronio started singing.</p><p> “That was a Grammy performance. It felt like somebody that knows God gave him the gift, and they are just trying to get on this stage to show their talent,” Gwen added.</p><p>Rapper Snoop Dogg, who saw great potential in Sofronio, pursued him to choose him as his The Voice coach as they shared both “soul and spirit”.</p><p>“I basically scout for talent like yourself,” he remarked.  “Get in where you fit in.”</p><p>Canadian singer and songwriter Michael Bublé then used his connection with his Filipino fans and his admiration for the Filipino people and their love for music.</p><p>“I want to stop and say &#x27;salamat&#x27; because the relationship I had with the Philippines makes me love you even more. Your people are such beautiful people. I can even imagine how proud you are gonna make them. They are something that is so inherently beautiful about music for you. I got goosebumps because I’m emotional,” he said.</p><p>Michael then added how Sofronio owned the name of the competition, saying, “This is what this show was named after. It was named after you, The Voice. You and me to the top.”</p><p>With such heartfelt comments from the coaches, Sofronio then picked Michael, who gave him a hockey jersey as a sign of being part of Team Buble.</p><p>“I would really want to say thank you. You really don’t know how big this is for me. I’ve been watching the show since Season 1 and now, from the Philippines, I am here... I will pick Michael,” Sofronio said.</p><div><br/></div><iframe class="instagram-media instagram-media-rendered" id="instagram-embed-1" src="https://www.instagram.com/p/DAPnQ7Wp8D8/embed/captioned/?cr=1&amp;v=14&amp;wp=487&amp;rd=https%3A%2F%2Fent-workbench-web.abs-cbn.com&amp;rp=%2F#%7B%22ci%22%3A1%2C%22os%22%3A729814.7000000477%2C%22ls%22%3A729527.2000000477%2C%22le%22%3A729789.6000000238%7D" allowtransparency="true" allowfullscreen="" frameBorder="0" height="938" data-instgrm-payload-id="instagram-media-payload-1" scrolling="no" style="background:white;max-width:540px;width:calc(100% - 2px);border-radius:3px;border:1px solid rgb(219, 219, 219);box-shadow:none;display:block;margin:0px 0px 12px;min-width:326px;padding:0px"></iframe><script async="" src="//www.instagram.com/embed.js"></script><div><br/></div><p>Michael then thanked the Filipino singer and shared how exciting it is to have his first team member as amazing as Sofronio.</p><p>“I really can&#x27;t even tell how good that felt to set that as the precedent as to who will be on Team Buble,” he said. “My strategy is about finding an artist who has the ability to connect emotionally.”</p><p>The Canadian singer went on: “Sofronio’s voice is really incomparable.
