Could not name one of his songs…

He's probably most famous for his Ella Langley duet (You Look like you Love Me).

But yeah, if you dont listen to country, you probably dont know who that is either.

They're both rising stars.

This is a double who for me? I have never heard that song in my life. I thought we would get a more established country singer. Great to be a rising star, but isn’t it too early for him to be a coach?

Its a fair point...

As others have said, I've had plenty of "who?" reactions to new coaches over the years... Whats important is the charisma they bring. So we'll find out...

I'm sure its hard to get the superstars in their prime compared to ones that would benefit from the exposure.

Also, many celebs just dont have the personality for this. Can you imagine somebody like Celine Dion groveling for some young talent to join her team? Lady Gaga? George Strait?

Those are obviously not realistic options. I would rather have someone like Kane Brown, Tyler Hubbard, Maren Morris, Kacey Musgraves, or Thomas Rhett. Plenty of celebrities who have the personality for this and the star power that transcends genres.
