The Voice airs its season finale next Tuesday, which is also Blake Shelton’s last episode as a coach on the singing competition after 23 seasons.
So that means we need a coach of his magnitude for next season. Who is it going to be? Today, NBC revealed who it is. Reba McEntire, who has previously served as a mentor, will be sitting in the red hot swivel chair for the first time. She will be joined by EGOT-winner John Legend, who is returning for his 9th season. One Direction’s Niall Horan will be vying for his second season. Shelton and Kelly Clarkson, who is leaving Toluca Lake for NYC, will not be back. But for some reason, they thought that we wanted Gwen Stefani. Besides Blake, who else wants her? She is so last century.
Blake Shelton and Adam Levine had one of the best bromances we have ever seen on television. But then the Maroon 5 singer left The Voice, and their love voice seemed to go silent.
But on Friday, Mrs. Gwen Stefani received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and the two bros were reunited!
And it looks like Levine might be replacing the No Doubt singer. At least in this photo, he is the one that got to stand next to the Man of the Hour.
Adam Levine was a coach on The Voice for 16 seasons. And it was obvious when he left the singing competition, he was not happy with the direction it was going in and the changes they made to it. Seven seasons later, Blake Shelton is leaving the show after 23 seasons.
So on Sunday night, when the Maroon 5 singer was walking the red carpet with Behati Prinsloo, Entertainment Tonight asked what he thinks of his friend leaving the show. He simply responded with, “About time,” while his wife laughed.
Then the reporter wanted to know if he misses Mr. Gwen Stefani. Levine looked over with a smirk and shook his head no. So I guess their bromance is over, and the No Doubt singer is their Yoko Ono.
I am sad that they are no longer BFFs. Because I was hoping they would go on the road together with the I’m a Little Bit Country, I’m a Little Bit Rock’n’Roll tour!
Jimmy Fallon is an actor and a comedian, but I think he would also love to be a singer. So it makes sense that he would audition for The Voice to see if any of the coaches would turn their chairs around for him during a blind audition.
So, The Tonight Show host came out singing Michael McDonald’s I Keep Forgettin’ (Every Time You’re Near) just like the singer.
Was it good enough for the coaches? Kelly Clarkson was the first one to turn around, and Niall Haron was right behind her. They broke into laughter, so Chance the Rapper had to see what they were laughing about. And he topped their reaction, partially because he thought it was the real Michael McDonald. How does he even know who McDonald is?
What about retiring coach Blake Shelton? He knew there was something up, so he didn’t hit the button. But don’t worry, Fallon did it for him. And what did Mr. Gewn Stefani think of his friend’s performance? “It didn’t take me long to figure out it was Jimmy Fallon, and there was no way I was going to hit my button,” the Country singer said. “He does not deserve a chair turn on this show. Jimmy’s impersonation is the equivalent of walking up to Michael McDonald and slapping him in the face as hard as you can.”
I wish that Fallon and Shelton had a reality show where they took each other to try new things because Blake is a little bit Country, and Fallon is a little bit Rock’n’Roll.
Niall Horan joined The Voice this upcoming season and has already found a way to piss off Blake Shelton, who is ending his reign on the NBC singing competition show. How? The Irishman can impersonate the Country singer.
Their co-coach Kelly Clarkson loves it so much she asked him to do it on her daytime talk show today. Not only does the One Direction singer sound like Mr. Gwen Stefani, but he also knows exactly what he would say.
What does Shelton think of Horan’s impression? He thinks it sounds like Forrest Gump. Has Blake heard himself?
