VIDEO: Team Blake After Show
NBC just sent us over these clips from Team Blake Shelton from after The Voice last night. See their reactions to Twitter, last night’s eliminations, and last night’s performances below. Make sure you let us know what you think about how Blake’s team is shaping up going towards next week’s live show:
RaeLynn Goes Live, Spends Sunday Online With Fans
After last week’s live show performance on The Voice that earned her a spot in the show’s Top 16, RaeLynn decided to a little live show of her own. We’re not talking about TV or even a club gig. This was simply RaeLynn spending part of her Easter Sunday connecting with her fans in a webcast.
Say what you will about the spunky 17-year-old from Baytown, TX, but she sure has fun. She took the chat in every conceivable direction: From her love of “boy bands” (especially One Direction and singer Harry Styles) to being disappointed in hearing Jake Owen got engaged (even though she said the 30-year-old Owen is pretty old) to talking about one of her friends getting a boyfriend. She may be on her way to being a big star, but she’s still got a lot of kid in her. That’s a good thing.
She sang little snippets of songs that fans requested and even gave some of them a huge thrill by calling them. She even made a few surprise calls to some of her friends from The Voice so fans could hear from those people, too. Unfortunately for her, one of those calls kind of backfired. When she called former Team Blake member Jordan Rager, the fellow country signer didn’t know who he was talking with because he didn’t have RaeLynn’s number saved in his phone. Oops!
As for answering questions, RaeLynn tried her best, but it was hard for her (or anyone watching) to keep up with the fast and furious flow from her fans. Below are some of the her thoughts on various topics and answers to questions:
Song Support: Nicolle Galyon Backs RaeLynn On “The Voice” With Her Voice
Shortly after Nicolle Galyon left The Voice, we asked her who she would be supporting on the show. The singer/songwriter admitted she’s a fan of all the contestants, but her loyalties lay with RaeLynn.
It’s one thing to say you’re supporting somebody, but Nicolle’s taking it to another level by singing about her! The former member of Team Adam posted the song “California” on her Facebook page with the caption: “Any guess who this was written about??” (If the lyrics don’t give it away, the link to The Voice voting page and the request for folks to vote for RaeLynn certainly do!)
You can hear the song below and also get a free download of it here.
Actually, the song has a double-shot of support from former contestants on The Voice. Hailey Steele from the country duo The Line (formerly on Team Christina) sings the background vocals on the song.

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 8
And there you have it…
The Voice‘s battle rounds are now complete, and six members from each team are moving on to the live shows.
As we already know, Team Blake consists of RaeLynn, Jordis, Charlotte Sometimes, Erin Willett, Jermaine Paul… and tonight Naia Kete was added to the group!
Coach Blake Shelton paired Naia up against country boy, Jordan Rager. The amazingly talented Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert were there once again to help mentor the team.
For the battle, Naia and Jordan performed Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours.” As the coaches pointed out, we have seen better from both contestants and their full skills were not on display this round. When it was time for Blake to make a decision, he decided to advance Naia to the live shows.

VIDEO: Gwen Sebastian Sings At Blake Shelton’s Concert
Say what you will about Blake Shelton‘s sometimes over-the-top humor, but you have to admit that he is an all-around good guy. After inviting eliminated Team Blake member Gwen Sebastian to be part of his touring family, he let the North Dakota native have her time to shine in her home-town last night during his “Well Lit & Amplified” tour. Gwen took center stage to perform a moving rendition of Sugarland‘s “Stay” with Blake’s band backing her up. She received a standing ovation at the end of her performance.
Watch Gwen’s performance of “Stay” in front of her home crowd and make sure to let us know what you think about Gwen joining Blake on tour:
Blake is nominated for the Academy of Country Music’s Entertainer of The Year. The fan voted award is up for votes right now at voteacm.com and fans can vote once a day!
The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 7
The battle rounds are coming to an end on The Voice, and Team Blake is almost complete!
This week, we saw Jermaine Paul up against ALyX and Erin Willett versus Gwen Sebastian. Two of our favorite girls, Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert, were back to mentor and assist the team. Jermain and Erin got some help from Kelly, while ALyX and Gwen worked with Miranda.
Jermaine vs. ALyX
Jermaine and ALyX performed Billy Ocean’s “Get Outta My Dreams, Get Into My Car” for their battle. Both did a great job and it was a solid fight, but Coach Blake Shelton decided to go with Jermaine.
Jermaine is a seasoned performer with such professionalism and killer voice. He had me the whole round, and I felt like I was at his own concert.
Congratulations to Jermaine! We can’t wait to see you next round. Also, good luck to ALyX! We are sure she will have success.

The Voice: Team Blake Recap – Week 6
On Monday night, the battle rounds continued on The Voice. This week’s recap is relatively short since there was only one Team Blake battle.
This past episode, we had Charlotte Sometimes up against Lex Land. Team Blake’s awesome mentors (I’m pretty jealous, to be honest), Kelly Clarkson and Miranda Lambert, were back. Kelly worked with Charlotte (read more about their mentor session), while Miranda helped out Lex.
Blake chose Foster The People’s “Pumped Up Kicks” for the girls’ battle. Charlotte and Lex gave it their all on performance night, and Blake ended up choosing Charlotte to advance in the competition.
Charlotte vs. Lex Battle:
Charlotte gave a great performance, and we are happy to see her continue with Team Blake. And we didn’t know beforehand, but Charlotte is also pretty funny and has a great sense of humor.
Congratulations to Charlotte! We are looking forward to seeing her again next round.
We also want to wish good luck to Lex. We are sure more good things will come her way.
