Country singers set goals of change for new year

[edited version]

The resolutions that Lambert's husband, Blake Shelton, is making have nothing to do with self-improvement. He has high hopes for other people in his life, including two of the singers he mentored as a judge on NBC's "The Voice," Dia Frampton and Xenia Martinez.

"I really would like to see Dia's record take off and do well, and Xenia has made a great record. My heart is there for them," he said.

Perhaps more than anything, Shelton said he hopes his wife's new single, "Over You," makes an impact on fans and country radio. The couple wrote the song together about the death of Shelton's older brother, Richie, who died in a car accident in 1990.
