Blake Shelton: The Voice Review

He said they filmed the stuff that will air for the first eight weeks back in June. He said like the blind auditions, battles and crap like that. It’s a hit, who cares (laughs). Blake said this season there are 16 artists per coach.

The first season it was eight, then 12 last season and now 16. He said in the battle rounds, the coaches can steal artists from other coaches’ teams. That person who loses in the battle rounds, the coaches can hit their button and still save them.

He said he hates how they have seasons back to back because he wants to get back out on the road and tour. That is still his real job. He loves being a part of The Voice but eventually he has to get back to what he loves.

They have worked together in the past for a David Foster special and he is on his Christmas album. Blake said there are a lot of reasons he uses him for his mentor this season.
