The sudden divorce news involving country singers Miranda Lambert and Blake Shelton broke the hearts of their millions of fans and followers. While others are still in denial over the news of country music's most lovable couple, those who managed to deal with the news are now looking forward to a potential battle of the breakup songs. It appears, however, that "The Voice" judge is throwing in the towel and declaring Lambert the clear winner of what could have been an epic contest.
Both Shelton and Lambert are known to be notable song writers - with singles that top the charts due to their sheer ability to trigger an emotional response among the listeners. Since their shocking split, fans have been speculating on when the country singers will be releasing their breakup songs and who between the two will churn out the better hit single. As early as now, however, Shelton is already admitting defeat and says that Lambert will win the "battle" hands down.
"Even after the split, Blake was the first one to declare that she's not only a better lyricist than him, but she's also a faster songwriter," shares an insider who claims to be close to the matter, according to Radar Online. The source adds, "Quite frankly he knows Miranda would win hands down when it comes to songwriting or record sales."
While some fans of the "Sangria" singer might jump to his defense, it appears that Shelton himself has no desire to engage Lambert or any of her supporters in a battle of songs.
The insider reveals, "He just flat-out says she's lot better than him and will write a better break-up song than he could ever come up with." The source adds, "He's not interested in going to war with Miranda, and he especially hates the idea of alienating her fans."
The reality singing competition, "The Voice," saw the heartbreaks of two of its judges in the past few months. Another "The Voice" judge who recently announced the end of her marriage is Gwen Stefani who had been with Gavin Rossdale for roughly 10 years.
"Gwen seems sad," describes an eyewitness to Us Weekly, referring to the demeanor of the No Doubt singer in the set of "The Voice." The source adds, "Blake, on the other hand, seems to have moved on from Miranda and is just over it. Neither Blake nor Gwen are wearing their rings."
