With Chad gone I need to make sure that we have information about the Voice on the WBKR website! So, I asked Cory Stromblad at Taste of Country to help. Here's what he had to say.

With the handful of country artists that have emerged from reality television in recent years, there was bound to be a standout country music singer in the batch of hopefuls spotlighted on last night's 'The Voice' Season 3 premiere. After a rather bold audition with her yodel-infused cover of Patsy Montana's 1935 country classic 'I Want to Be a Cowboy's Sweetheart,' Springfield,  Illinois native Gracia Harrison had the daunting challenge of choosing between Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine as her superstar coach.

Gee thanks, Google! Now, I feel old. I have no idea how many times I've said certain parts of our popular culture have been around my entire life--Cher's career, the Ford Mustang, Star Trek. Well, I was wrong on that last one.

We have lost a lot of great actors, actresses and icons in 2012. Just this morning, Michael Duncan passed away after complications of a heart attack he suffered back in July. I became a fan of his after watching his performance in 'The Green Mile'. Within the last couple of months we also lost legendary comic Phyllis Diller, American Icon Astronaut Neil Armstrong, Sherman Hemsley of the 'Jeffersons' and Andy Griffith.

In April of this year we lost TV host and producer and American Icon Dick Clark. R.I.P. to them all, their memories will live on thanks to the TV networks that still play these great entertainers.

Chad has beaten me up on more than one occasion for being "grumpy" about the Grammy Awards and claiming no country fan cares. And, I do believe for a number of years that was correct. The NARAS voters always looked at country like you'd look at a piece of melted gum on your shoe, or boot. But, in recent years, the Grammys have treated Nashville like a well heeled (there's that foot reference again) cousin. So, now the coups de gras: according to Cory Stromfeld over at Taste of Country, "Music City’s status will certainly rise with the announcement that this year’s ‘Grammy Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night’ will be held in the home of country music. The stage will be aired on CBS on Dec. 5. from Bridgestone Arena, located in the heart of downtown Nashville".
