Expert Opinion

With the Voice star’s summer festival tour about to kick off, we asked him to tell us what he thinks of five songs.

Bruce Springsteen // “Glory Days”

The older I get, the more I can relate to this song. Everybody has their own place it takes them back to. For me, it’s high school.

John Mellencamp // “Jack & Diane”

There probably isn’t a bar band in this country that hasn’t covered this song at some point along the way, including myself. So much energy and fun.

Dixie Chicks // “Not Ready to Make Nice”

Natalie Maines’ voice grabs your attention and won’t let it go. It was a statement about how they were blacklisted - but probably not the best choice of a single to be reinstated.

Wiz Khalifa, feat. Charlie Puth // “See You Again”

I love this song. I’m always fascinated when two artists that seem completely different on paper come together.

Maroon 5 // “Sugar”

This makes me want to get married all over again in hopes that Adam Levine will surprise everyone at my wedding.
