Blake Shelton
It took The Voice to bring Blake Shelton to the top of the entertainment industry. Which is strange, because few performers have dominated country music as Shelton has in the last decade.
His song “Neon Light” just broke the record by being his 13th consecutive number one Country single. And his 18th number one overall. Let that sink in for a moment. Oh, and guess whose record he broke? Yeah, his own. He also just tied the record by being named Male Vocalist of the Year for the fifth consecutive time by the CMA. And though he’s obviously quite popular in Country circles, he was just a name to America at large. Another one of those, you know, boots and cowboy hat redneck singers.
Until The Voice. Now we know his humor, his drawl, and his knack for choosing great singers. Okay, good singers – this is just The Voice after all.
Very true!
