One of my favorite country singers is Blake Shelton. Born in June 18, 1976 in Ada, Oklahoma, Blake started playing music at an early age, at age ten he learned how to play the guitar and by age 15 he had written his first song. Then at age 17 he moved to Nashville Tennessee to pursue his singing career. Blake is a country singer and many of his songs show how he feels and real life situations. In his song “God gave me you,” he talks about how lucky he is to have a girl that cares so much and she is what he’s been looking for. In May of 2011 Blake married Miranda Lambert. His song “God gave me you,” was aimed at her and she was in the music video. They were recently on the cover of People magazine. Blake has also been nominated for Entertainer of the Year, Male Vocalist of the Year, Single of the Year: God Gave Me You, Song of the Year: God Gave Me You - Dave Barnes, Song of the Year: Over You – Blake Shelton. He is also up for nominations like Album of the year (Red river blue) and music video of the year (God gave me you). Blake is also a huge role in the show “The Voice.” The voice is a show that people compete and try the win at the end and get a record label. There are four judges and Blake is one of them. Blake is one of the most popular I would say on this show because he has won a lot of Grammy awards. He makes sure to be honest to all the competitors. Blake has been working on a new Christmas album called “Cheers, It’s Christmas.” Blake’s music is such an inspiration to many people and I am definitely one of them. Haley L.
