Just a few years back Morgan was right here at\u00a0<em>The Voice<\/em>, trying to get his start,&#8221; Eugene said.<\/p>\n<p>Finally, with his song chosen and his family watching, it was time for Kendall Eugene to take the stage.<\/p>\n<p>As Eugene launched into &#8220;Don&#8217;t Think Jesus,&#8221;\u00a0it was clear that host Carson Daly and Eugene&#8217;s father and brother were expecting the Queen of Country,\u00a0Reba McEntire, to turn her chair. But McEntire waited, and listened with the rest of the Coaches. Even as you could see them feeling the music, the Coaches didn&#8217;t turn, and the wait got longer, until finally, Eugene finished his song without a single chair turned.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This sucks, because when it came to the choruses, it was believable, it was heartfelt,&#8221; Coach\u00a0Gwen Stefani\u00a0explained when the song was over. &#8220;I didn&#8217;t press because in the beginning, even though I loved the tenderness of your voice, there was a lot of tuning things going on. I just think you should come back.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>New Coach\u00a0Michael Bubl\u00e9\u00a0offered similar thoughts, and suggested that maybe it all had to do with song choice.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I openly wonder if you chose a different song with a different range, would I have turned the chair? Probably,&#8221; Bubl\u00e9 said.<\/p>\n<p>Meanwhile, new Coach\u00a0Snoop Dogg\u00a0explained that he didn&#8217;t turn because he kept expecting McEntire to turn and didn&#8217;t want to have to compete with a country legend for a country artist. McEntire, for her part, was puzzled by her own indecision.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I don&#8217;t understand why I did not turn around,&#8221; she said.<\/p>\n<p>Then, as the reality of leaving\u00a0<em>The Voice<\/em>\u00a0early was beginning to sink in for Eugene, McEntire revealed that she would, for the first time in show history, deploy\u00a0the Coach Replay button\u00a0(which allows a Coach to select a contestant even after they&#8217;re done singing), and select Eugene as part of Team Reba.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;After the song was over, I felt kind of numb, and I knew in my heart I wanted him on my team,&#8221; McEntire explained. &#8220;I&#8217;m so glad for the very first time we have a Coach Replay button. It&#8217;s the second chance for the Coaches when we realize we missed this moment.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The moment McEntire pressed the Replay button, Eugene burst into tears, and the moment grew so emotional that even Snoop Dogg began to cry as he demanded that his fellow Coach go to the stage and give Eugene a hug. McEntire sealed that hug by saying, &#8220;I believe in you,&#8221; cementing Eugene&#8217;s place as an early member of Team Reba.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;I feel like he has a lot more to show us, and I&#8217;m really anxious to hear him sing again,&#8221; McEntire said.<\/p>\n<h3>Watch Kendall Eugene&#8217;s Performance of Morgan Wallen&#8217;s &#8220;Don&#8217;t Think Jesus&#8221; During Blind Auditions for\u00a0<em>The Voice\u00a0<\/em>Season 26<\/h3>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"Kendall Eugene Wins Coach Reba's Heart in First-Ever REPLAY Moment | The Voice Blind Auditions | NBC\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PyV0vi_J_3o\" width=\"1128\" height=\"634\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n<div style=\"font-size: 0px; height: 0px; line-height: 0px; margin: 0; padding: 0; clear: both;\"><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>For the first time,\u00a0The Voice\u00a0Coaches have the chance to save a singer before they&#8217;re even on a team.
