Peo­ple who weren’t aware of Blake Shel­ton before NBC’s hit show The Voice, cer­tainly are now! The CMA Enter­tainer of the Year is cur­rently bat­tling it out in the show’s live rounds with his two con­tes­tants – Cas­sadee Hope and Terry McDer­mott. Thanks to the show’s plat­form, Blake feels like he can help erase the stereo­typ­i­cal image of a coun­try artist. Blake will be bring­ing the hol­i­day spirit to prime­time tele­vi­sion, with Blake Shelton’s Not So Fam­ily Christ­mas. The spe­cial will air Mon­day (12/3) at 9PM East­ern on NBC.
