Not being the biggest fan of country music, I know very few of the artists and even fewer of the songs that made them famous. If I were forced to pick a favorite country music artist, my vote would go to Blake Shelton. I don't know a single one of the songs that has made him famous, but I have seen plenty of him on NBC's “The Voice,” to know I like him.
Not only is Blake extremely tall and a real hottie, he also seems to have a heart of gold. I know that last season on “The Voice” he helped many of the artists on his team further their careers after they had been eliminated from the competition.
Dia Frampton is a prime example. Dia made it through to the end of last season's “The Voice” competition, but did not win the final crown. Blake, so impressed with Dia's talent, managed to get her a recording deal and took her on his tour.
This season, Blake was often the only judge to turn around to claim a contestant to his team. He went well out of his country comfort zone and chose artists from many different genres. He didn't pull any of the antics that fellow judge Christina Aguilera did by overly favoring any of his team members over the others and gave everyone an equal chance to shine. It hurt Blake terribly to have to choose one contestant over another for his final team, but not a single negative word was uttered by any of the ousted contestants, all said how incredibly grateful they were to Blake, his wife Miranda Lambert and all of the help they provided.
So without uttering or singing one word, Blake Shelton wins my personal American Country Music award.
