67 yr old Steve Clisby sings God Bless the Child on the Voice Australia Showdowns. He is the leader of the pack in my opinion. Only a couple left that have the voice and talent to match him.

Having a popular country singer as one of the Mentors helps keep that demographic watching.This proves that the Voice is all country once again.. and dumping the BEST two contestants that were suppose to be in the finals![]()
Bascially the reason Country singers do better, is because no one has ever heard the songs before?A year later, we find ourselves in a similar position with America choosing all three of Blake's country acts (some more talented than others) over two of Adam's three powerhouse vocalists. So with three of the top six singers being country artists at this point in season 4, the country influence seems to have grown from last season, so much so that the show could be well on its way to becoming The Country Voice.
What brought about this pattern, which really only began during season 3? In my opinion, all signs point to the addition of using iTunes to vote for singers. iTunes added an advantage for never-before-heard songs (aka a lot of country), because audiences are much more likely to buy a song that's brand new to them rather than add yet another cover of a song they already have two versions of on their iPod (the original version and the Glee version, obviously). Also, if audiences haven't heard the original, they're much less harsh in their judgment of the contestant's version.

Sorry, but Country has been very popular for a long time. The writer is just mad because it's more popular than what he thinks should be popular.
