Michael Bublé ensured that a standout contestant not only remained in the competition but also shone brightly on Season 28 of The Voice. Having joined the show as a coach in Season 26, Bublé has already captured attention with two consecutive wins, solidifying his status as one of the competition’s most consistent mentors.
Staying true to his reputation for supporting team members, Bublé made history by using the new Mic Drop feature for the first time. According to Gold Derby, each coach can nominate one Knockout winner using the Mic Drop button, and the audience votes to determine which artist performs at the Rose Parade on January 1.
In the latest episode, Bublé was deeply impressed by 14-year-old Max Chambers, whose dazzling Knockout rendition of Stevie Wonder’s “Don’t You Worry About a Thing” prompted the historic Mic Drop moment. The performance drew admiration from all, including Mega Mentor Zac Brown, who described Chambers as:
“A stone cold killer... a huge light and gift.”
Max Cooper III, 23, also earned praise for his emotional interpretation of Djo’s “End of the Beginning.” Zac Brown commended Cooper’s vulnerability, while Snoop Dogg lauded him as an “exceptional vocalist.” After Chambers’ performance, Snoop added:
“A star is born.”
Both contestants impressed the panel, making the Knockouts one of the season’s most exciting rounds yet.
Bublé’s groundbreaking Mic Drop highlighted rising talent Max Chambers, reinforcing his legacy as one of The Voice’s most supportive and successful coaches.
