The Voice video: Blake Shelton and Luke Bryan talk Battle Rounds
In the video below, you can see the two country-music superstars preparing to collaborate for the first time, and you get the sense more or less right away that this is going to be a fun experience for the two of them to have! Apparently, this is something that Blake has been trying to make happen for a rather long time, but it’s only just coming to fruition.
For any of the singers, we figure that there are going to be some crazy reactions that they have to working to the two parties … and for good reason. How many chances do you have to be able to work with people of this caliber? It’s not the sort of thing that happens very often, and it’s probably even cooler for the country artists given that these are two of the genre’s biggest names and they’ve each figured out how to sustain long careers. That is, by far, the most impressive thing here. Just remember for a minute or two that the majority of people in music who do have a hit or two fail to sustain them. It’s one thing to strike lightning in a bottle; making that lightning into a pattern is where things start to really get impressive.
Of this group, are there any genuine stars? Well, we do think that there are some people who can have country careers. It’s pretty easy to be skeptical about anyone having a career after the show, just because it hasn’t happened all that often; yet, at the same exact time Blake’s team does have some success stories. Cassadee Pope, for example, has several hit songs to her name. Danielle Bradbery’s had a little bit of success, and then you have someone like RaeLynn out there who didn’t even win her season who is still active within the industry. Being on the show is mostly about getting the connections to succeed down the road, and Blake’s got so much of those connections centrally located within the city of Nashville.
We’ll have some more on The Voice and the Battle Rounds as they get closer to happening. For now, be sure to head over here if you are curious to get some other news items related to the show without further delay! (Photo: NBC.)
