Country Countdown USA

Catch Country Countdown USA every Saturday morning at 9AM. Lon Helton has the biggest names in Country music in the co-host seat each week.

Last week was CMA Music Fest week in Nashville.  Hundreds of country stars were in town to meet and perform for tens of thousands of country fans.  Blake Shelton had several things on his schedule: The grand opening of his Nashville bar Ole Red, the CMT Awards, two shows at the Grand Ole Opry, and a headline show Friday night at CMA Fest.  In between all that, he dropped by to co-host the Countdown with Lon Helton.

Lon asked him about Kelly Clarkson‘s team winning The Voice: “I let her win.  I laid back and let the kid win one, just so she had her confidence up. So this next season, when I beat her, it will be an extra shocking smack to the forehead for her.  I haven’t said that it’s cool that she won, because I don’t know that any of us put as much overtime in it as she did.  When she says she’s gonna take care of someone, she does.”

Earlier this year, Blake took part in Luke Bryan’s Crash My Playa festival in Mexico.  Luke told us he & Blake were photographed by the local paparazzi.  Blake confirmed the story: “That was funny, I remember that day, and in my defense, if Gwen’s not around, that doesn’t happen. Do you want a picture of me in my Crocs and white legs, or Gwen Stefani in a swimsuit?  So I blame it on her.  I think they crop me out of her pictures.”
