Michael Bublé Spreads Holiday Cheer With New Christmas Duet Alongside a Former ‘The Voice’ Winner

With The Voice entering the Playoffs, Reba McEntire, Snoop Dogg, and Niall Horan still had a chance to win. But at the same time, they all looked at Michael Bublé. Just like the other coaches, Bublé had the chance to build his own team and decide which one moved forward. At the same time, Bublé’s approach to the competition brought him back-to-back wins in season 26 and season 27. While looking to snag a third, the singer recently teamed up with Sofronio Vasquez for a special holiday song.

For those who might need a refresher, Vasquez gained crucial advice from Bublé during season 26. Always listening to his coach, he ended up walking away with more than a victory. He apparently remained in contact with his former coach. Striking a friendship, the two stepped into the recording studio for “Maybe This Christmas.” 

Sharing his excitement about the new song, Vasquez posted a snippet that appeared to fully embrace the sound and emotion surrounding the holidays. He wrote in the caption, “When you’re new, you pray for someone to give you a chance. Michael Buble didn’t just give me a shot, he gave me his time, his wisdom, and his voice. I’m still in disbelief.”
