Their vote has made him the only Filipino\/Asian winner of the U.S. version of The Voice, or any other U.S. based singing competition show.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere is a whole country watching this like a Super Bowl, no joke,\u201d Bubl\u00e9 said with pride. \u201cAnd what\u2019s more interesting is that it wasn\u2019t just the Philippines. It was Indonesia, Singapore, Malaysia, people in China. There were people everywhere that saw themselves in this kid and it\u2019s very cool. He can\u2019t believe it. He\u2019s having a hard time grasping it.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Vasquez and Bubl\u00e9 also touched on the surprising song selections this season and what they envision for the singer\u2019s career going forward.<\/p>\n<h3>The song that gave Sofronio the confidence to go all the way<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.billboard.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Sonofrio-Vasquez-Michael-Buble-the-voice-billboard-1548.jpg?w=942&amp;h=623&amp;crop=1\" alt=\"The Voice' Crowns Season 26 Champion Sofronio Vasquez\" \/><\/p>\n<p>While Vasquez\u2019s final two competition songs were Sia\u2019s \u201cUnstoppable\u201d and \u201cA Million Dreams\u201d from The Greatest Showman soundtrack, the singer told us that the song selection he was given made him pause, but then eventually gave him so much confidence after he landed on the classic Roy Orbison ballad, \u201cCrying,\u201d from the Playoffs.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Sofronio Vasquez Performs &quot;A Million Dreams&quot; From The Greatest Showman | The Voice Finale | NBC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/iV1_ZeofKAA?feature=oembed\" width=\"790\" height=\"444\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\" data-origwidth=\"790\" data-origheight=\"444\" data-mce-fragment=\"1\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt was really the shifter,\u201d Vasquez said of the song that tested what he was capable of executing. \u201cEveryone was amazed by how the song was [sung]. And to be honest, I emailed them like, \u2018Why is Michael Bubl\u00e9 picking that song for me for playoffs?\u2019 I was saying, \u2018Can I just sing his song, \u2018Feeling Good,\u2019 because I know that I\u2019ve been singing that for so long?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Vasquez then looked at his Coach and said, \u201cBut you\u2019re like, \u2018No, you\u2019re not doing that one.

That told me about what kind of artist that we had. And that\u2019s artistry. There\u2019s a lot of people that can sound like anybody that they\u2019re singing a song of, but it\u2019s different when you can make it yours, and you can bend it to your will. And that\u2019s when the great ones become the great ones. And I knew.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere was a reason I wanted to challenge him and I wanted to challenge the audience, because I knew that he could do it all,\u201d he continued. \u201cLet\u2019s take new contemporary. Let\u2019s take old school stuff. Let\u2019s take stuff that\u2019s swing and stuff that has a more blues feel, or pop. I just knew that he could do it the way he did it. But there was more than just the voice. What really floored me more than anything was the charisma, the stage presence that went along with that God-given talent. I know how much work he put into making sure that every move was thought out. I know, because this is what I do.I knew what it meant to him, and I could tell by the work ethic, the ambition and God-given talent that this was gonna happen for him.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What\u2019s next for Sofronio Vasquez? Michael Bubl\u00e9 has plans<\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.nbc.com\/sites\/nbcblog\/files\/styles\/scale_862\/public\/2024\/10\/the-voice-2609-michael-buble.jpg\" alt=\"Michael Bubl\u00e9 claps his hands on The Voice Season 26 Episode 9\" \/><\/p>\n<p>On the carpet, in the short term, Vasquez said he couldn\u2019t wait to call his mother and family in the Philippines to celebrate the win. But what about decisions regarding what he and Coach Bubl\u00e9 envision for his overall career?<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI put my trust in him,\u201d Vasquez said with an earnest trust in his Coach. \u201cI don\u2019t know where am I going tonight, but tomorrow, probably I\u2019m gonna call him just asking that.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Bubl\u00e9 confirmed that he \u201cdefinitely\u201d already has ideas to share. \u201cI think it lands some more in faith,\u201d he said of Vasquez\u2019s future sound. \u201cI think he\u2019s a soul singer honestly. When you go look at somebody like Bruno Mars, or Adele, they are people that sing pop music, but it has that edge of a little gospel, a little soul. I think that\u2019s a really exciting thing for a young guy like this to start finding. And by the way, I\u2019m still finding myself. And it\u2019s such a cool way to grow as an artist.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Another whirlwind season of The Voice is in the books!
