The Voice’s Sloane Simon leaves Michael Buble in tears with emotional performance days after father’s death

Michael Bublé was moved to tears by his team member Sloane Simon on Tuesday’s Playoff episode of The Voice on NBC.

Simon, a 19-year-old singer from Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, sang Chappell Roan’s hit Good Luck, Babe. 

When she and Bublé were seen picking out the song, she mentioned that her father, who was battling cancer, in poor shape and had been told he had little time to live.

But after her triumphant performance, her coach revealed her father had died just days earlier.

Bublé’s eyes filled with tears as he praised the rising star, while fellow coach Snoop Dogg — who recently teamed up with Simone Biles — got up to give her a hug.

Earlier, Bublé said he chose that song because he loved Chappell Roan. She shared she was going through a tough time because her father was sick and might only have a short while to live.

Bublé got up and hugged her. The audience gave Sloane a standing ovation when she finished.

‘It felt like it was your song,’ Gwen gushed. ‘Your style. The way you worked the stage. Your confidence. It’s just one of the hardest things to do and I think you did it so well.’

‘You just lost your dad,’ Bublé said.

‘Sunday,’ Sloane said.

‘You said that you would stay because he would want you to be here,’ Bublé said.

‘My dad told me I was crazy to turn back, so I’m here and I sang for him,’ Sloane said as she tried to keep her emotions in check.

Snoop got up and gave her a hug. Sloane cried and then brought tears to Gwen and Bublé’s eyes.

But the crooner would later have to make the hard call to eliminate three of his singers and to save just two for the remaining spots for the upcoming finals.

Before he made the final call, he told his team that they were all winners.

‘This isn’t the end for us, but today I have to make a choice and every one of you is the right choice,’ Bublé, 49, said to his team before announcing his final decision to keep Sofronio Vasquez, 31, from the Philippines, and 17-year-old Shye from Glen Cove, New York, and to have them move on to the live show.

When the show opened, Bublé had Country Star Carly Pearce, 34, come on board to serve as his Mega Mentor.

‘She’s fire,’ Bublé said. ‘I was so happy when she said yes to come do this with me.’

He shared that he was signed when he was 26 and that his first record came out when he was 27 . Carly shared that she moved to Nashville when she was just 18 and that she also got her first deal when she was 26.

‘This is the first time I’ve seen you unleashed the beast,’ Gwen said.

‘You have the ability at 14 years old to execute!’ Bublé said. ‘You just filled this whole place up with love.’
