**Headline: Michael Bublé’s ‘The Voice’ Journey: From Blake Shelton Fanboy to Winning Coach**

**NEW YORK, NY** – Michael Bublé’s recent win on “The Voice” wasn’t just a victory for his team; it was the culmination of a long-standing admiration for the show and a friendship with country star Blake Shelton. Years before occupying one of the coveted red chairs, Bublé was a vocal supporter of the NBC singing competition, even sporting a “Blake Wants Me” t-shirt back in 2013.

An old social media post resurfaced recently, showing the Canadian crooner playfully flexing outside NBC Studios in New York City, clad in the Shelton-themed shirt. “All I want for Christmas is @blakeshelton,” Bublé captioned the photo, showcasing his early enthusiasm for the show. Country singer Dierks Bentley also jokingly posted a picture of the same shirt hanging in the NBC store, showing that he was looking for a “confidence boost”.

Bublé revealed that Shelton was instrumental in his decision to join the show as a coach in 2024. “I loved ‘The Voice’ from afar for so many years… I love Blake and he’s a great friend, and he talked me into it,” Bublé said. He admitted to previously turning down offers to join the show, but Shelton’s persuasion and the opportunity to work alongside influential musicians ultimately convinced him.

Since joining, Bublé has expressed his joy at being involved with the show. “I was really nervous to do the show,” he told TV Insider. “But it’s the best job I’ve ever had.” He later revealed that his parents, upon seeing a taping, declared “This is the greatest show on earth.”

Now, fans can relive Bublé’s winning season and catch up on all the latest “The Voice” action on the NBC app. And for a limited time, new users can sign up for a Peacock subscription for under $25 using code SPRINGSAVINGS. Terms and Conditions apply.
