Last night was Night 4 of the blind auditions for The Voice, and our judges' teams are taking shape.  Blake (who continues to make surprise choices), Adam, Cee Lo, and Christina just need a handful of team members each to round out their squads advancing to the next round.  As usual, our Idol expert-turned-Voice expert, Steve Thompson, tuned in and shares his thoughts about the contenders here at

The blind auditions continue on the second season of The Voice.  And last night, after Blake, Christina, Adam and Cee Lo, tore into a medley of hits by Prince (WATCH NOW!), more hopefuls filed in to see if the judges would hit their buttons, spin their chairs around and say, " I want you!"  As always, our Voice expert, Steve Thompson, was watching and shares his thoughts about the cast-o

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.

Last night after Super Bowl XLVI, NBC's The Voice returned for its second season.  And, delivering on the promise of a hilarious promo commercial that included Betty White, the season debut killed!  It was awesome.  Blake, Adam, Cee Lo, and Christina were in full form and so was the talent.  There's a reason this show is called The Voice.  And, as our American Idol and The Voice expert Steve Thomp

Husband and wife team Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton held hands while performing ‘America the Beautiful’ together before the kickoff of Super Bowl 2012. It was a show of solidarity, and perhaps a way to calm each other’s nerves, as the couple sang while the whole country watched. Many performers before them have flubbed when singing songs at sporting events, but Lambert and Shelton delivered a

Blake Shelton surprised a concert audience in Toledo, Ohio last week by launching into Jason Aldean's big hit "Don't You Wanna Stay."  But the audience got an even bigger surprise when Kelly Clarkson walked out on stage and joined him.  And, thanks to YouTube, we've got the video!  WATCH!

Not much time left on this Cyber Monday, but you can save money at many Countrty stars' websites. Here are just three:

The 45th Annual CMA Awards are in the books. Congratulations to all the winners--my take coming in just a few minutes. But in addition to cheering Jason Aldean for his brand new Album of the Year award, I must also congratulate him for being the first and only (I believe) winner to tell his kids to go to bed from the podium.

Blake Shelton won last night's Male Vocalist of the Year for the second year in a row.

The 45th Annual Country Music Association Awards air tonight on ABC at 7. It will open with a bang with Blake Shelton and Kenny Loggins singing a duet of "Footloose"--bringing together two generations of the song's fans. But before Blake and Kenny take the stage, Chad, Jaclyn, and I will take the airwaves for Red Carpet Radio...

1 week from today it's the 45th Annual CMA Awards Show live from Bridgestone Arena in Nashville, TN Wednesday, November 9th 7p -10p Central Time. "Footloose" was a smash hit back in 1984 for Kenny Loggins and the re-make by Blake Shelton is racing up the charts. Kenny Loggins will join Blake for the opening song of the CMA Awards Show next Wednesday night!
