Let’s meet them…
Lex Land
Lex is a singer songwriter who has had her songs featured on One Tree Hill, Private Practice, and Castle, among others. She auditioned with Bonnie Raitt’s ”I Can’t Make You Love Me.” Blake, Adam Levine, and Cee Lo Green all turned their chairs around, but Lex chose Team Blake!

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 3
With only one more show left of The Voice blind audition rounds, Team Blake is nearly complete!
In weeks one and two, we already met team members RaeLynn, Gwen Sebastian (interview), Jermaine Paul, Erin Willett, Jordis Unga, and Brian Fuente. This past week, Blake added four more members to his crew: Naia Kete, Charlotte Sometimes, ALyX, and Jordan Rager.
Naia Kete
Naia was born in Massachusetts and now hails from California. The twenty-one year old auditioned with a cool, unique version of Bruno Mars’ “The Lazy Song.” Blake and Cee Lo Green battled it out for her, but Naia chose Team Blake!
Via her blog on The Voice official website, Naia shared:
When I started singing, Blake turned around right away! I couldn’t believe it! I was in! Really? Then, towards the end of the song, Cee Lo turned also! TWO coaches!? AMAZING! I just felt so blessed and happy.

GRAMMY Gab: The Band Perry And The New Artist Award
The Band Perry is up for Best New Artist Award at tomorrow night’s GRAMMY Awards. Kimberly, Neil and Reid are up against non-country performers Bon Iver, J. Cole, Nicki Minaj and Skrillex. So what are the odds of TBP taking home the trophy? Recent history says, pretty good. Overall, history, not so much.
Recently country performers have done very well with the Best New Artist category. Recent winners include The Zac Brown Band (2009), Carrie Underwood (2006), Shelby Lynne (2000) and LeAnn Rimes (1996). Before that, we have to go all the way back to Bobbie Gentry in 1967, the same year The Beatles took home the Album of the Year Award for Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. (Gentry also won a GRAMMY that year for Best Contemporary Female Solo Vocal Performance for “Ode To Billie Joe.” I’d certainly count that as country!)
The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 1
Season two of NBC’s The Voice is underway and our favorite, Blake Shelton, is back representing country music!
Big Country, as he has been dubbed by fellow coach and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, has so far chosen three team members.
RaeLynn
We previously introduced you to Blake’s first team member, RaeLynn. The 17-year-old from Baytown, Texas auditioned with a song closely connected to Blake by going with a track by his wife, Miranda Lambert‘s, band. RaeLynn kicked off Season 2 by performing a really great cover of the Pistol Annies‘, “Hell On Heels.”
The team members are all keeping blogs on The Voice official website. You should check out the complete posts, but here is a snippet of what RaeLynn had to say about joining Team Blake:
Fast forward and here I am, on Blake Shelton’s team! I’m honored to be led by one of my musical inspirations. AND so excited about this opportunity and being on The Voice!

“Voice” Assist: Miranda Lambert & Kelly Clarkson Added As Advisors
NBC’s “The Voice” is charging up its second season by bringing in not just star power, but superstar power.
The network announced the addition of Miranda Lambert, Kelly Clarkson, Jewel, Lionel Richie, Alanis Morissette, Ne-Yo, Babyface and Robin Thicke. The stars will all serve as advisors once the show reaches the battle rounds.
VIDEO: Little Big Town’s Awesome Cover Of Maroon 5
Little Big Town’s latest episode of “Scattered, Smothered and Covered” on their YouTube channel is fantastic. They chose to cover the catchy pop duet between Maroon 5 and Christina Aguilera for “Moves Like Jagger,” and I am liking their version better than the original.
Watch their version below and let us know if you’d love to see this on the country charts:
