Blake Shelton is all over NBC's Super Bowl-centered programming Sunday. He and wife Miranda Lambert are set to sing "America the Beautiful" before the game kicks off between the New England Patriots and the New York Giants. Following the game, he returns to his role as a mentor on NBC's The Voice . The show's second season premieres in the plum post-Super Bowl time slot. Expectations for The Voice are higher this time around -- it was a summer show last year, but this season it will regularly air Monday nights opposite other networks' first-run programming.
Blake is especially looking forward to reuniting with his fellow mentors Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine for the new season. He recently admitted that he sometimes feels like a stepchild in country music because of his really big personality and outrageous tweets. During a recent interview with his fellow mentors, Blake said, "I swear it, when I met these...feel like I actually have met my true family up here because these people are freaks."
