Sofronio Vasquez, the Filipino and Asian winner of season 26 of The Voice, has opened up about his emotional win with coach Michael Bublé. Vasquez won the competition after a four-chair turn during his blind audition, beating out fellow contestant Shye.
Vasquez expressed his gratitude to Bublé, saying that he feels honored to be representing their countries and loved ones through their performance on the show. Bublé echoed this sentiment, stating that representation is key to the success of The Voice.
The win marked significant milestones for Vasquez, as he became the first Filipino and Asian winner in the show’s history. Bublé praised Vasquez as a “star” and expressed his excitement to see where their career takes them.
When asked about going into next season with new coaches John Legend and Adam Levine, Bublé assured he’s ready for the challenge. However, his coach didn’t fare well when teased by Vasquez about texting after winning. The two laughed off the situation, and Bublé poked fun at himself for “just a few awards behind” EGOT winner John Legend.
Vasquez plans to keep his trophy in his bed, stating he can’t wait to sleep with it next to him tonight. His emotional reaction to winning was evident when he burst into tears after being announced as the winner on Tuesday night.
