People Magazine has crowned country star Blake Shelton as the Sexiest Man Alive, an annual honor that has been given to Dwayne Johnson (2016), David Beckham (2015) and Chris Hemsworth (2014).
The Voice judge, who just released a new album on November 3rd, was thrilled about his new nickname but Twitter was not. Some people were disheartened because of his history of making insensitive jokes at the expense of women, the LGBTQ community, and minorities. On the other hand, some people simply don’t think he’s that sexy.
even a straight man can see there's no way blake shelton is the sexiest man alive. i dont think he's even the sexiest man named blake shelton.

Even Blake was surprised when he received the honor, but his wife Gwen Stefani has helped him own his new title. “I’ve been ugly and fat my whole life. So if I could be sexy for a year, I’m taking it,” he tells People.
Queen Sugar’s star Kofi Siriboe was also named this year’s Sexiest Man Alive. But I don’t think Twitter has any complaints about that choice.
No pause needed: A good looking guy would make me think twice about leaving my lady around him and I'm sorry but I would let my woman fly with Blake Shelton on a private jet to her bachelorette party. Kofi Siriboe, on the other hand, couldn't sit next to her in a packed church.
