"I wish I could answer that question with any sort of confidence whatsoever. But each season gives you a different hand. You never know what that's gonna be."

Blake shared what his strategy for success on The Voice was

One fan sweetly said: "It's just you. The way you treat your team like family and guide them even after their time on The Voice," while another also added: "You are the secret! Don't leave!!!!!!! You are the show!"

The country superstar has won eight out of the 21 past seasons he has acted as a coach on which, proportionally speaking, only puts him behind Kelly Clarkson.
