Keith Urban is eagerly gearing up for his appearance as a celebrity coach on Australia’s version of the hit show ‘The Voice.’ And while he admits he’s looking for someone to really capture his attention, the ‘You’ll Think of Me’ singer says he’s not about putting people down when they don’t make the cut.
Classically trained pianist turned singer-songwriter Nicolle Galyon stood apart from the other country contestants on ‘The Voice‘ Monday night. Actually, she sat… while delivering a tender, piano driven version of Kenny Chesney‘s ‘You Save Me.’
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 begged, pleaded and insulted his fellow coaches to woo contestants during Monday night’s (Feb. 13) episode of ‘The Voice‘ on NBC. He added three new team members, including Erin Willett, a 22-year-old from Gaithersburg, Md.
On Monday, America got a glimpse at the country talent Blake Shelton was boasting about earlier this week when he predicted a Nashville-bound singer would make it to the final rounds of ‘The Voice‘ — and maybe win it all. The singer and coach of the reality show picked up two new members for Team Blake in the second episode.
It feels like only yesterday that Blake Shelton‘s charge Dia Frampton was the runner up on the debut season of ‘The Voice.’ Well, season two is upon us, and Shelton is already raring to go and plotting his methods for another round. Shelton revealed that he will retain last season’s strategy of picking the singers with the most unique and different voices for his team. Obviously, Shelton has no interest in cultivating a poker face during the audition round.
Season two of ‘The Voice’ on NBC will reportedly feature a more talented group of singers, more confident coaches and many more weeks of blind auditions. During a mini-press conference on Friday, Blake Shelton hinted that the show may be the biggest thing to ever air on television.
Given that it pulled in some of the highest ratings the network has seen in recent years — and that it was quickly renewed for a second season — we already knew NBC was enamored with ‘The Voice.’
Now that the network has announced the premiere date for season two, we know just how much.
NBC confirmed Thursday that Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will return to their respective judges’ chairs when ‘The Voice’ kicks off its highly-anticipated second season next year.
“Our fantastic coaches were integral to the tremendous success of ‘The Voice’ this year and we are thrilled that they are all returning,” Paul Telegdy, NBC’s head of alternative programming, said in a statement (via EW.com). “We look forward to building season two and making The Voice an even greater experience for fans.”
It was a close race between Team Adam and Team Blake's finalists, according to 'The Voice' host Carson Daly. On Wednesday night, Javier Colon was named the first winner of the hit show with just a two percent margin over Dia Frampton.
As winner of ‘The Voice,’ Colon receives $100,000 and a recording contract with Universal Republic.
In a photo finish, Javier Colon was named the winner of the inaugural season of NBC’s popular reality-competition series ‘The Voice.’
According to host Carson Daly, Colon beat runner-up Dia Frampton by just two percent of the vote, making it a truly nail-biting finale
A tearful Colon thanked his fellow competitors, and was greeted by an overjoyed Adam Levine, who had coached Colon throughout the season.
June 29, 2011 Dia Frampton and her mentor, Blake Shelton, teamed up to perform "I Won't Back Down" by Tom Petty on 'The Voice' Tuesday night.
