Blake Shelton is People’s Sexiest Man Alive this year and I think it his dry sense of humor that earned him that title. That humor is always evident on The Tonight Show, and Jimmy Fallon loves coming up with new ways to bring it out of him every time he is on the NBC show.
Yesterday, Fallon challenged Shelton to a hard game called Name That Song. I say it is hard because they have to guess a song as it plays out one instrument at a time. I only got one of them before the guys and it is a tune The Voice coach should have known. But I am getting ahead of myself.
The game is just the background story in this video. It is Blake’s comments that truly make it. As soon as Fallon described the game, Shelton said, “Why are your games so stupid?” That was before they even started, and it got even worse. When Blake got the first song wrong and Jimmy rubbed his face in it, he said, “I don’t know why I come to this show…Please, I miss Johnny Caron so badly.”
Then it was calmish for a bit, until Blake could’ve sworn it was Willie Nelson’s On the Road Again and it wasn’t. Then he thought it was Hard to Handle and again it wasn’t. It was actually Charlie Daniels’ Devil Goes Down to Georgia. As this point, the devil started going down in 30 Rock and he called bullcrap on The Roots. He’s a good mama’s boy and kept saying bullcrap instead of what we say. Anyways, he told the house band that they are playing songs that they are not. In defeat he blurted out, “Why do I this show? All I wanna do is sing my song.”
Now this is when the trouble really starts for Shelton. You see the next clue was his girlfriend’s song Hollaback Girl which everyone got before them. When he realizes how bad he screwed up, he goes to the stage to sit down in shame. Fallon comforts his friend by telling him, he is in so much trouble. All Blake could say is, “I came to this show to promote my album and I am losing everything. Everything in my life.” As they got back up to play again, he turned to his publicist and said, “Can we do Seth Meyers next time? Please.”
The last song took a while for Shelton to get, which is weird because he sang it. I wonder why he didn’t get Footloose sooner, especially because he recorded it for the remake. You think he would know every chord of it.
But what really strikes a chord in me is how much of an odd couple Fallon and Shelton are. One is a grumpy old Bulldog and the other one is annoyingly happy Jack Russell. Someone should give them a game show where every week they play new games and drink the rice wine. They can call it Falton!

Yesterday was the first time, The Voice went head-to-head with ABC’s American Idol and only one was ratings winner. The NBC singing competition was watched by 11,720,000 people, while the ABC one was seen by only 8,360,000. Not only that, The Voice also beat it in the demo by .5, 2.3 as compared to 1.8. Even Dancing with the Stars does better and is closer to its competition numbers.
This has to be so scary for ABC because not only did Idol get beat, it also lost 2 million viewers in its second airing. It can only be downhill from here. Their experiment looks like a big failure, but let’s give it another week.
Now to the headline, The Voice made a major coop when they hired Kelly Clarkson, AI’s first winner. A risk that proved to be a really smart move. Not only did it see a rise in ratings from last week, it also gave us this sweet moment. Stephanie Skipper sang Clarkson’s emotional number Piece by Piece and caused the singer to start crying. Even though she did not turn around, she still praised the crap out the performance that was amazing.
The new Idol can only dream of having a moment like this (no pun intended). The three judges on AI are too stiff and rehearsed to let go like Clarkson, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine. That is what people want. Realness, playfulness and spunk!
When it comes to me, I don’t watch either. But if I was going to watch one, it would be The Voice. Who doesn’t love Kelly?
Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo welcomed their second daughter sometime between Valentine’s Day and today. According to E!, all we know is her name is Geo Grace. No word, if Ellen DeGeneres named her too, like she named the little girl’s big sister, 16-month-old Dusty Rose.
I cannot wait to find out if The Voice coach has a birthing story that will top the one he had when his first child was born. He better!
Adam Levine was on Jimmy Kimmel Live yesterday and he told the ABC late host a TMI story when his wife gave birth.
Back in September of 2016, when Behati Prinsloo went into labor, someone gave The Voice coach some advice. His friend said that he should eat, so he does not pass out. As she was counting the contractions, he was not counting the calories. In other words, he became a nervous eater who did not stop eating. Therefore, when they got to the hospital, she was ready to push out a baby and he was ready to push out a big poop. But he did not want to go because he did not want to miss his daughter coming into the world. Thus, he held it in. Anyone who has held in a crap, knows how painful it can be. So he squeezed his butt cheeks and prayed.
Then as soon as Dusty Rose was given the OK, he asked the nurse where he can give birth to Charcoal Stench. She said, there is a bathroom right here and he was like no. He did not want his daughter’s first memory of her dad to be how he stunk up the joint.
No word who was bigger, his daughter or his poop baby. I am thinking it was pretty close.
I guess you can say this is as close as a man can come to understanding what his wife is going through in the delivery room.
Lastly, hopefully this time, when is wife goes into labor any day now, he will eat responsibly. Other wise, he will have another sh!tty birth story to share with Kimmel.
Even though it seems like Maroon 5 can still sell out arenas, Adam Levine was seen performing at subway station in Manhattan. Has The Voice coach hit hard times? Nope, it was just something that Jimmy Fallon likes to do for the NYC subway riders. Who doesn’t love a free impromptu concert by a huge musician after a hard day of work? It makes that crowded ride with that smelly person who keeps touching you during each stop not seem so bad.
Now when it comes to Levine wearing the long hair, beard and a baseball cap, all I can say is wow he looked so different. He kind of looked like Blake Shelton before he was People’s Sexiest Man Alive.
