This season of The Voice has been full of surprises, with unexpected twists and turns for viewers. During the episode aired on Monday, November 25, another shock came as Olympic gold medalist Simone Biles joined the show as a Playoff Advisor for Team Snoop, led by coach Snoop Dogg. This announcement followed the recent voluntary exits of contestants Mor Ilderton and Tanner Frick, leaving fans buzzing with curiosity.
Simone Biles’ involvement quickly became a trending topic on social media, with fans sharing mixed reactions. Many were puzzled by the decision, questioning why a gymnast was stepping into a role on a music-based competition. Comments on social media included remarks like, “Does she have a musical career that we all aren’t aware of?” and humorously, “Makes about as much sense as Snoop becoming her gymnastics trainer.”
This collaboration isn’t the first time Snoop Dogg and Simone Biles have worked together. Earlier this year, the duo made headlines during the U.S. Olympic equestrian team’s dressage event in Paris. Their bond deepened when Snoop gave Biles’ father, Ronald, a custom Death Row Records chain for his 75th birthday. Now, the pair have brought their dynamic energy to The Voice, where Biles will provide guidance to contestants during the Playoff Rounds.
In an interview with the Associated Press, both Biles and Snoop expressed enthusiasm about their teamwork. Biles noted that they worked well together, offering insights to help the contestants prepare for the next phase of the competition.
Although many viewers were skeptical about Biles’ role on the show, others defended her appearance. Supporters highlighted that The Voice is as much about performance as it is about singing. They pointed out that Biles, as the most decorated gymnast in history, could provide valuable advice on stage presence, handling pressure, and managing public scrutiny. A fan on social media summed it up, saying, “There is other advice that she can give the contestants that isn’t singing-related, like stage presence, how to deal with pressure, [and] media training.”
Simone Biles’ appearance on The Voice may have surprised many, but it also underscores the importance of well-rounded guidance in a competition that goes beyond just vocal talent.
