NBC is adding a little country flavor to the judging panel on its new singing competition, 'The Voice.'

Country Universe posted a blog about Blake's inclusion as judge:

Blake isn't shy about giving an opinion, so it could be interesting to see him as a judge.
I'm glad the panel will have a country musician alongside the other judges (Cee-Lo, Christina Aguilera, and Adam Levine) who are more pop. I might have to tune in to see what this show is all about.

Interesting choice. Blake will probably be a good fit for the show though; he seems to have an opinion, but he knows when he can go too far and when he needs to be more professional. He'll certainly be an entertaining choice. A good one? We'll have to see.
Considering NBC has had several shows in this vein that haven't done great in the past ("Nashville Star" for a period & the next great choir show).
I find it really telling that American Idol and Glee are the only music-centered shows that have been able to maintain success throughout the years.

Blake did that mentoring group thing seem like it was NBC where Nick Lachey's group won. I thought he was good on that show. We will see how it goes.

Anybody planning to check out The Voice when it starts airing? I thought the previews look pretty interesting. Judges seem fun to watch too.
