Rapper Snoop Dogg has expanded his fanbase (if that’s even possible) during his debut coaching season on The Voice. Now, headed into Monday’s (Dec. 2) Live Shows, the “Gin and Juice” legend’s season 26 championship hopes hang on Christina Eagle and Jeremy Beloate. Both established themselves as frontrunners early on. Beloate particularly captured viewers’ hearts with spine-chilling renditions of “The Impossible Dream” and “Golden Hour.” And the Memphis-born artist, 25, may very well walk away with the $100,000 grand prize and record deal after tonight’s performance.

What Jeremy Beloate Learned From His Coach on ‘The Voice’
Originally on Team Bublé, Jeremy Beloate lost to Sofronio Vasquez in the Knockout Rounds. However, it wasn’t over for him yet on The Voice. Snoop used his Steal to snatch him up almost immediately. And recently, Beloate shared the tear-jerking advice that the “Drop It Like It’s Hot” rapper gave him.
The Memphis-born artist has been open during season 26 about losing his father and two brothers to addiction. Coincidentally, the anniversary of his brothers’ passing overlapped with Beloate’s Playoff performance.” He wanted to honor them with his rendition of Josh Groban’s “The Impossible Dream.” And with Snoop’s help, he was able to draw on joyful memories rather than painful ones.
“He really helped me find the versatility and the dynamics within the song and the storytelling. It brought out a lot of beautiful memories that I forgot that I had with my family,” Beloate told Out magazine. “He kind of flipped the script for me. It doesn’t have to be like this sad thing, also show the beautiful moments. I want to see you smiling too. He helped me discover a really beautiful, well-rounded presentation of it.”
