They made a bold statement that there is symbiotic relationship between Olympics and music. This seamless chemistry played out on the TV set of The Voice. Snoop Dogg invited Simone Biles to be a mentor in the playoff round to help advise the music contestants.
Their collaboration on the show was described as a “superb match,” as they shared valuable insights with the contestants. The episode was filmed in Los Angeles.
“It was pretty easy, simple,” Biles said. “We’re both very mellow. But if we need to bring that energy up, then we can. For us, it was about instilling confidence going into the next week.”
Biles, renowned for her athletic achievements, demonstrated her versatility by connecting with the music contestants on The Voice, according to Daily Mail.
“These are the learning steps: Learn, process, go back in and work,” she said. “They all have the vocal talent. It’s about harnessing that, knowing when to bring it out and which songs to sing and which genre you fit in. And what you want your legacy to be.
“This is truly a special show as well as the judging. They don’t get to see the physical appearance first. It’s all off of ears, listening and putting their craft together as well.”
During the Olympics, Biles and Snoop shared several memorable moments. They caught up to support Sydney McLaughlin-Levrone in her 400-meter hurdles race, and Snoop gifted Biles’ father, Ronald, a Death Row Records gold necklace for his 75th birthday.
Snoop also was seen dancing in the crowd during the women’s gymnastics qualifying round, with Biles and her teammate Jordan Chiles joining in.
Biles brought her radiant smile to the set of The Voice, often beaming while watching Snoop in his charismatic element.
“I knew Snoop would stay true and authentic to himself here on The Voice,” she said. “It’s nice that you don´t have to fit a mold. There´s a space for everyone.”
Snoop said it made sense for both to work together on the episode.
“This is family. It feels good,” Snoop said. “(Biles) can do anything she wants to do. She picks and chooses what she wants to do. We´re at that point of our careers right now. It has to feel good. It can´t be forced or I´m not doing it. Period, point, blank.”
Despite their different career paths, Snoop and Biles share a mutual respect for each other’s ability to shine on the biggest stages.
“We have such diverse careers. But the things that we dealt with, they´re dealing with now,” said Snoop, the ultra-smooth entertainer who took on a starring role as a special correspondent in NBC’s record-breaking coverage. He’s a coach on The Voice along with Michael Buble, Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani, with each attempting to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon.
Snoop said they felt the need to instill wisdom and confidence in each participant.
“We have the best experience and knowledge to give to these performers,” he said.
“She’s a performer. I’m a performer. We’ve performed under extreme conditions. We always do our best. But sometimes things happen behind closed doors that you don’t know about. So, we’re able to speak to those things and give them real reassurance.”
