Blake Shelton, 'The Voice' Judge, Ready to Win and Beat Adam Levine
Country music singer and a judge on NBC's "The Voice" Blake Shelton talked about his time on the show and having won the singing competition three times during a recent appearance on the "Today" show.
"[It] makes me happy," the singer said. "I live to make him feel bad about himself," Shelton said of co-judge Adam Levine during the live television interview.
Shelton and Levine are the only two "Voice" judges to have participated in all five seasons, with original judges Christina Aguilera and Cee-Lo Green having exited for season four. Aguilera and Green have both returned for the current iteration, which debuted on Sept. 23.
In his "Today" interview, Shelton addressed those who may be ready for another judge's contestant to triumph.
"[My winning streak] may be boring to you, but it's very exciting to me," he said. "That's my competition. I don't care if they like it or not."
The singer said he was especially excited about singer Cher serving as a mentor to his team on the show after Cher recently told E! that she became more attached to the team than she had expected to.
"I love her," he said. "Looking back on all the movies and things she's been in - she's just playing herself ... She doesn't take herself that seriously ... she's a very strong woman."
Last season Danielle Bradbery was named the winner of "The Voice." At just 16 years old, Bradbery is the youngest winner in the history of "The Voice." Bradbery is a country singer from Cypress, Texas. The victory was almost too good to be true for the young singer.
"Me and Michelle were holding onto each other, shaking," she said of the vote announcements, according to USA today. "When I heard my name, I could not believe it. It's going to take a while to sink in, but I'm just embracing the moment while it's here."
