Spoiler alert: This post contains details about Sound Season 26, Episode 17, which aired on Tuesday, November 26.
It was an emotional night Sound Sloane Simon took the stage to perform “Good Luck, Babe” by Chappelle Rowan during the qualifying stage of the competition.
In the final episode of the singing competition, Simon revealed that her father had recently died, causing the coaches to cry.
“I know how brave you are,” Michael Bublé told Simone after her performance. “I know you and your family are going through things. I just lost your father.”
“You said you would stay because he wanted you to be here,” Bublé continued.
The teary-eyed singer said her father told her she would be “crazy to go back”, so she dedicated her performance to him as she “sings to him”.
Snoop Dogg rose from his chair and said, “Your father's spirit is asking me to hug you right now,” and added, “I'm so proud of you right now.”
Cameras also caught Reba McEntire and Gwen Stefani holding back tears when they saw Simone on stage.

“I know your father is very proud of you,” Bublé said to Simone. “I really can't express to you in any words how much I appreciate you and how amazing you are at what you did today.
Earlier in the episode, Simone related to the lyrics of Rowan's song, saying it “sums up” how her family feels about her father.
“My father is not doing well. The oncologist said he only has a few days to a few weeks left [to live]She said. “And it's hard not to be with my family, but he wants me to be here. My mom wants me to be here, my sister, my brother, everyone wants me to be here because this opportunity, being here gives them something to be excited about as well.”
