Snoop Dogg just praised one mom’s faith after her daughter, Kirbi, scored a four-chair turn on THE VOICE while singing about God.
“I want your mother to come on stage,” Snoop told Kirbi after she finished singing a powerful rendition of for KING + COUNTRY’s “God Only Knows.”
“Your mother did such an amazing job with keeping you grounded and raising you the right way, and she should be commended,” he continued after her mom joined her. “So that’s why I want her to stand by your side while I say what I’ma say to you.”
“The music that you chose and the way that you’re standing on your faith is beautiful,” he told Kirbi. “The world that we live in right now is so much negativity, and for you to stand for what’s right, I applaud you for that. And no matter what team you pick, you’re part of a real family that is strong in faith.”

“Mama, you did an amazing job.” Snoop added.
The 24-year-old wowed Snoop along with Reba McEntire, Michael Bublé and Niall Horan with her performance. She chose the song because she and her late grandmother loved listening to for KING + COUNTRY together.
“We wait all day for voices like yours,” Horan told her. “This is absolutely incredible. From second one, I was all in. The vocal delivery you just gave there was next level, and I have a feeling you would look very cute in this. [Holds up his team gift hoodie.] We’ve had some major success in this show in previous seasons. So while they’re talking to you, just have me here in the back of your mind because I’ll take care of you.”
McEntire asked Kirbi about what she like to sing.
“I grew up singing country and blues, so you know we got that in common a little bit but my faith is a big part of who I am, too, so I was so excited to come on here and share that with you guys,” the 24-year-old from Alabama said.
Bublé told her, “My faith is really important to me, too. I love that you chose that song. I love your control; I love your tone. I feel like if I turned on the radio and I heard you, I would know it was Kirbi. There’s nothing that can stop you from singing all kinds of genres from jazz to pop to country, any of it.”
Ultimately, Kirbi decided to go with Horan.
“I think Niall’s a good coach because he’s kind of stood where I stood before,” she explained. “He’s going to be able to coach me through the nerves.”
After her Blind Audition aired on Tuesday, Kirbi posted on Instagram, “God is so good!”
“I’m just so thankful for this opportunity, and so thankful for every single person who has shown me support and sent such kind amazing words to me,” she continued. “This has been a crazy experience that I couldn’t be more grateful to be a part of. Let’s go #TEAMNIALL.”
THE VOICE airs on Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 p.m. ET/PT before streaming on Peacock the next day.
