Anyone a fan of Blake?

What about the others in the top 10?

WTH is he?

He's a country singer and one of the judges on The Voice.

lol No wonder. I only know a few country singers by name + face. Plus, I've never watched The Voice.

Yeah me neither I usually don't listen to country and I don't watch the Voice but if I just saw a pic of him I could probably have guessed his name right.
