It's no secret that Blake Shelton is one of country music's highest-profile stars. Following the premiere of the third season of NBC's 'The Voice' on Monday, Shelton made a pit stop by 'Late Night With Jimmy Fallon,' where the two guys shared plenty of laughs while getting a little bit of work done at the same time.
Blake Shelton is pretty used to being nominated for big awards, but that doesn’t mean he’s not ecstatic to receive more nods at the CMAs this year. The ‘God Gave Me You’ hitmaker has racked up four new nominations in 2012. Meanwhile, 20-year-old Hunter Hayes is enjoying the first CMA nomination — and he’s eternally grateful.
Instead of writing new songs for his next album, Blake Shelton has taken to rewriting hits from other country music stars. Kenny Chesney‘s ‘Come Over’ and Tim McGraw‘s ‘Live Like You Were Dying’ were his two victims choices in the past 24 hours.
Blake Shelton has a tendency to act like life is all fun and games, but the sometimes-sensitive country star knows when to be serious, too. Recently, he turned off his typically controversial Twitter persona to help raise support for Harlie Bryant, a six-year-old little girl who is suffering from brain cancer.
With fall fast approaching, the third season of ‘The Voice‘ is upon us, and with it comes a new set of advisors to our favorite four coaches. Assisting Blake Shelton this season is not a fellow country star, but soulful pop crooner Michael Buble, known for his butter-smooth, Rat Pack style. This is a big prediction, but with Blake and Buble working in tandem, we’re thinking back-to-back season wins for Team Blake. Can you say, “Repeat?”
Miranda Lambert settled an old score at the Kentucky Derby last weekend. She makes the week’s best tweets list twice actually, also including her celebration of Team Blake Shelton‘s win on ‘The Voice’ on Tuesday night. Other stars like Brad Paisley and the Eli Young Band shared their thoughts on the passing of a music legend, and a few more talked about the insanity from the road with followers on Twitter.
If you saw Blake Shelton hanging out with Jay Leno on ‘The Tonight Show‘ this week, you might have raised an eyebrow at the ‘Over’ singer’s flirtatious comments toward movie star Scarlett Johansson. Innocent as they were, Shelton’s flirty antics beg the question, “What would Miranda Lambert think of this?” The country star’s wife of nearly a year took to Twitter to assure her fans that she’s not worried about her man.
Things are getting tougher and tougher as ‘The Voice‘ narrows down its talent, looking for a winner. Blake Shelton (along with fellow coach Christina Aguilera) will be forced to cut one of his four remaining contestants on tonight’s quarterfinal round (April 16) as part of an instant elimination, NBC announced Friday.
It was difficult to see country singer Gwen Sebastian walking away from ‘The Voice‘ with tears in her eyes, but it would have been even tougher to watch her battle-round competitor walk away heartbroken. Erin Williett sang for her sick father and became the fifth singer on Team Blake to move to the live viewer -voted rounds, which begin next month.
Blake Shelton became a country star on his music alone, but since he first appeared on NBC’s ‘The Voice‘ last season, the 6-foot-5 man’s man with a soft side has truly become a favored celebrity. In a recent interview, Shelton talked about his role on the hit show, his marriage to no-nonsense country artist Miranda Lambert and why he didn’t know how to get to his own home when he was living in L.A.
Blake Shelton, reigning CMA “Male Vocalist of the Year” will be taking the stage at Taco Bell Arena at BSU, in Boise, ID on Saturday, March 10th – with opening acts, Justin Moore and NBC’s “The Voice” finalist, Dia Frampton
Miranda Lambert joined fellow blond Chelsea Handler on ‘Chelsea Lately’ last night (Nov. 17). The acid-tongued Handler is known for her sarcastic humor and her whip-smart dialogue with her guests, so we were anxious to see how the equally ballsy and funny Lambert would play off of that particular interview style. It was as fun as we expected it to be, between these two sassy gals.
