Singer-songwriter Darius Rucker is now a member of Team Blake Shelton! The star is ready to help contestants show what they are made of on 'The Voice.'
Darius Rucker is officially backing Team Blake Shelton on the upcoming season of NBC’s The Voice! The other mentors during the battle rounds this season are Normani (Team Kelly Clarkson), will.i.am (Team Gwen Stefani), and Usher (Team John Legend).
“He’s the perfect choice as a mentor on The Voice for obvious reasons,” Shelton shared with ET’s Nancy O’Dell prior to the official announcement. “I made a joke earlier to one of the artists on the show, I go, ‘You know Darius literally has proven that if he decides whatever it is he wants to do in life, he conquers it.’”
Rucker is looking forward to working with Team Blake Shelton and having a role on the television program.
“First of all, he’s so funny and the thing that really makes him a great coach is he’s so genuine. Blake is never BS, ever,” Rucker explained. “He’s honest and like I’ve told him, me and my family watch the show religiously. We watch it all the time and, you know, Blake is always honest with them and he’s always got something cool to say.”
The Voice premieres on Monday, September 23rd at 8 p.m. ET on NBC! Will you be cheering for Team Blake?! Share this news with other fans!

“For The First Time” Lyrics
You say you never danced to a dashboard singin’ R.E.M. under summer stars
Never leaned back on a jet black Chevy, blowing smoke rings in the dark
You don’t want to be a rumor, girl, and I feel just the same
Yeah, I know that you don’t know me well but we can make that change
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Yeah, let yourself go, follow that feeling
Maybe something new is what you’re needing
Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Say you never drank from the bottle of some two dollar wine, run barefoot through the mud
Never had the right kiss stolen from your lips, while you watched the sun come up
Well, I know your friends are watching and they probably disapprove
But give me just half a chance, girl, I’m daring you
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Yeah, let yourself go, baby, follow that feeling
Maybe something new is what you’re needing
Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Now the way you’re looking says you’re living
I hope I ain’t reading wrong
‘Cause the way you’re shining, I think you’re thinking
It’s been way too long
When was the last time you did something for the first time?
Yeah yeah, let yourself go, come on follow that feeling
Maybe something new is what you’re needing
Like a real life, let your hair down, feel alive, alive
When was the last time oh you did something for the first time, girl?
Come on, baby
When was the last time, yeah, you did something for the first time?
