Blake Shelton is an OG judge on "The Voice" - the only OG, as he's the only judge that's been involved with all 23 seasons of the NBC singing competition. That string is about to come to an end, as Blake announced before the season began that this would be his last judging for the show. To honor the country singer, judges past and present paid tribute in last night's episode, appropriately titled "Best Of The Blinds, Battles and Blake."
Fellow co-judges Kelly Clarkson - who is currently judging alongside Shelton - Christina Aguilera, Usher, and Camila Cabello praised the country singer's impressive run on the show including a record nine season wins for his teams.
"I think it's impossible to think of "The Voice" and not think of Blake Shelton," Clarkson says. The pop star also describes her country counterpart as a light who attracts contestants to his presence. Usher said he wouldn't be surprised if Shelton runs for President one day, while Aguilera says Shelton "pulls out the heart strings" - and that his dimples and accent don't hurt, either. Cabello points out how much Shelton really cares about each of the artists he coaches and adds that he's "one of the funniest people I've ever met."
Blake's record run comes to an end with the season 23 finale of "The Voice", which airs in two parts on May 22 and 23 on NBC.
