Hear ye, hear ye. Will everyone please turn their attention to Blake Shelton? Last night he was announced as People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive."
With great sexiness comes the ability to withstand criticism, as past recipients of People Magazine's "Sexiest Man Alive" have learned. Shelton's pal Adam Levine knows as much, since he scored the title in 2013 amid outrage that sexier men were passed over in favor of the Maroon 5 frontman (a widely held opinion I have to agree with).
Shelton's a cutie, and what determines a person's sex appeal is constantly up for debate. Jess Cagle, People's editor-in-chief, went on "Today" this morning to explain the magazine's selection criteria to those wondering why Shelton was picked.
People has spoken, but it certainly doesn't have the last word. The internet will always clap back at a decision like this. Check out the responses to Blake Shelton's new title and be sure to vote your favorite to the top.
