When the coaches of NBC’s new music competition The Voice first met Blake Shelton, they didn’t know what to expect. Adam Levine of Maroon 5 said he “wasn’t expecting” Blake to be funny, instead thinking he would be a “straight up country guy.” He told Access Hollywood that Blake is a “subversive, punk rock man.” Blake joins Adam, Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera as coaches on The Voice, which premieres April 26th on NBC.
