Leslie My choice would have to be Blake Shelton. He CRACKS ME UP!! I follow him on Twitter and his drunk Tweets are HILARIOUS. He is also one of the only reasons I watch 'The Voice'. Here are some of his funniest moments on the show.

Jon - Anyone who knows me would know immediately that my answer would be Hank Williams Sr. I have never been so fascinated by any other artist or celebrity as I am with Hank. I also believe that he is still the most polarizing figure in the history of country music and one of the most polarizing in any music genre. Williams transformed not only country music, but pop and rock music as well almost single-handedly.

Most are aware that Williams is in the Country Music Hall of Fame, but most may not know that he is also in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame as a forefather of rock & roll and pop. Williams was only 29 years old when he died on January 1, 1953 in the backseat of his Cadillac. What he accomplished in such a short period of time is staggering and his influence is as much a part of country music today as it was at the height of his career. Williams continues to be the 'standard' by which successful country artists are measured 62 years after his death. The bigger question is, who wouldn't want to have a beer with him and hear that story?
