Pasadena, California: The renowned queen of country music, Reba McEntire, made a special appearance on the live broadcast of ‘America’s Got Talent’ on September 20, 2023. However, the reception from fans was far from enthusiastic, leaving many disappointed with her performance.
Reba has a prior history with ‘AGT,’ having previously appeared as a guest judge during Season 11, where she selected contortionist Sofie Dossi as her golden buzzer act. Her return during Season 18 was primarily to promote her role as a coach on ‘The Voice.’
During the episode, Reba took the stage to perform ‘Can’t Even Get the Blues No More.’ Unfortunately, this performance left a substantial portion of the audience unimpressed, with some viewers expressing their disappointment on social media platforms. One Reddit user commented, “Reba sounds surprisingly subpar.” Another joined in, saying, “Can we please buzz Reba? Honestly, she sounded worse than most of the contestants on the show.”

While many fans acknowledged Reba’s musical prowess, some felt that this particular performance didn’t showcase her at her best. One social media user quipped, “I’ll switch to ‘MasterChef’ while Reba is on.”
On another platform, a viewer shared, “I’ve been holding this in for nearly four decades, but I can’t stay silent anymore… Reba McEntire is overrated. I can’t even stand watching her. The best thing she’s ever done was Tremors… that was enjoyable.”
Another individual added, “Yeah, I could have done without those two,” while someone else criticized the production, stating, “It was all about Reba. They barely showed Sofie. Nice thought, poor execution.” Yet another viewer suggested, “There comes a time to hang it up, fossil.”

With Niall returning to the frame in a wheeled chair, Reba couldn’t resist making a light-hearted joke, saying, “You’ve lost one,” before adding, “You’ve lost the little one.” This playful banter among the coaches garnered laughter and amusement from viewers who watched the clip.
