Blake Shelton hilariously told us the reason that he hopes nobody ever covers his songs.
The “Sangria” singer stopped by Taste of Country Nights, and when we starting asking him about his favorite Gwen Stefani songs, everything went off the rails.
One of his favorite Stefani songs is No Doubt’s cover of Talk Talk’s “It’s My Life” — actually, he says he likes his wife’s version better than the original.
That’s when Shelton laughed and said, “I hope nobody ever remakes any of my music, because I know that will happen to me. People will be like, ‘Oh my God, way better than Blake Shelton.'”
Shelton essentially wants his songs to live forever in their original form. He doesn’t want someone to cover one of his hits and do it better than he did.
This is a different side of him than we usually see — typically he’s the one throwing jabs at his buddies like Luke Bryan and Justin Moore, and here he is punching himself in the face, being self-depricating.
How Many Number One Songs Does Blake Shelton Have?
