As expected, the show was quick to trumpet the talents of its newest additions theyre multiple Grammy winners andinternational icons, yall! but the real test came when they had to sit down next to veteran show stealers Blake Shelton (whos as charismatic as ever) and Adam Levine (whos as picky as ever). Favorable editing aside, the newbies have (so far) lived up to the build-up. Usher displayed the right amount of confidence (This is the show I wanted to be associated with because it has credibility, he said, in a not so subtle slight to American Idol ) but also showed an amusing amount of humility especially when he called Nashville a state. Shakira, meanwhile, was less like a diva and more of a delight her precious accent making her all the more winsome, especially w...
