“I predict great things for Beya and Gwen together!”one more supporter remarked.

Team Gwen Welcomes The Voice Season 26 Contestant Beya
Beya, a 24-year-old singer from Hawaii, performed “Our Day Will Come,”successfully impressing coach Gwen Stefani. While Michael Bublé expressed admiration for her old-school sound, he ultimately chose not to turn his chair, leaving fans puzzled.
Following her performance, Michael reflected on his decision, stating that while he was enamored with her voice, he questioned her capacity for versatility, saying:
“I just couldn’t convince myself that she would be adaptable! But I have a feeling you’re going to show me just how wrong I am…and I’ll be kicking myself for this.”
He later regretted not turning after learning of Beya’s ability to perform in different genres and dialects, including English and Spanish, which she learned during her travels in Central America, especially in her father’s homeland of El Salvador. Currently, Beya is a professional singer.
In her pre-audition introduction, Beya shared:
“As a full-time musician, I incorporate some Latin music into every performance. The audience appreciates it; it’s a true delight. Generally, I perform in more intimate venues, and now I’m about to take the leap onto the largest stage I’ve ever faced in my career.”
Beya hopes to showcase her talents with a Latin song during the competition, although she identifies soul and R&B as her primary genres.
Gwen Stefani expressed enthusiasm about having Beya on Team Gwen, lauding her voice as “classic, controlled, and simply perfect.”Gwen aims to assist Beya in discovering her artistic identity and aims to “amaze everyone”with her future performances, asserting that the other coaches missed an opportunity by not turning for her.
