Blake Shelton of The Voice went on a Twitter rant Monday, which has since gone viral. And while this isn’t all that unusual for the country singer, this time the subject matter was serious.
Shelton is coaching on of four semi-finalists on The Voice this season. On Tuesday night, Meghan Linsey was announced as one of the four contestants headed to next week’s finals. She, along with Sawyer Fredericks, Koryn Hawthorne, and Joshua Davis will all compete for the title of The Voice. India Carney bid goodbye to the competition and its coaches on Tuesday.
So what was Blake Shelton ranting about via Twitter? It had nothing to do with The Voice, and everything to do with thinking for oneself instead. He touched upon the opinions of celebrities and cautioned followers to be mindful of watching the news.
To all you young people out there. Make up your own minds about this country and the rest of the world. Listen, read, watch and decide.

Microphones only make a voice louder… Not powerful. Remember that. https://t.co/k4ild1HLfI

Oh and lastly.. When you watch the news channels, try to watch ALL of them. Every single one of them has an affiliation/agenda. Every one.

Do you suppose Blake Shelton was already drinking when he took to Twitter to state his beliefs?
Do you think Blake Shelton stands a chance of winning The Voice this season? Meghan Linsey is one amazing singer. Wouldn’t Blake love to throw another win in Adam Levine’s face?
RT BECAUSE @meghanlinsey IS OFFICIALLY A SEASON 8 FINALIST! #VoiceResults
