Michael Bublé Admits He Turned Down The Voice Over 15 Times, Saying ‘Most of the Singers Are Better Than Me’

Michael Bublé The Voice

It’s finally time for Michael Bublé to join The Voice.

The 49-year-old Grammy-winning crooner appeared on the Sept. 23 episode of Today to discuss becoming a coach on The Voice for season 26 — and he revealed it’s not the first, second or even tenth time he’s been approached for the NBC reality singing competition series.

Bublé told the outlet he’s turned down joining The Voice about “15-16” times, partially because he didn’t want the pressure of judging other vocalists. “But thank God we’re not judges. The other shows have judges — we are coaches,” he said.

“And the reason I say that is because most of the singers are better than me, and I have no place ever judging anyone,” added the singer. “So, to get to coach them and live the fantasy of having this career that I’ve had and then get to have the fulfillment of helping someone else get that? That’s the cool part.”

Ahead of the season 26 premiere at 8 p.m. ET on Sept. 23, Bublé isn’t quite ready to claim he’ll win the competition just yet. “Man, my team is good. My team is really good, but everybody has good stuff happening on their team,” he said.

The “Haven’t Met You Yet” musician will sit in one of the series’ signature red chairs alongside fellow coaches Gwen Stefani, Snoop Dogg and Reba McEntire — a.k.a. the show’s reigning champion.

“We call her Reba ‘Magnetire,’ because when the chair turns around, it’s like, the people just love her and that smile. And Gwen is ‘Never Ste-phony,’ because she just, like, has a stream of consciousness. She’s highly intelligent and just tells it like it is,” added Bublé. “And Snoop, you know, my uncle Snoop, man. Everybody loves him.”
