Reba McEntire revealed she turned down Blake Shelton's role on 'The Voice'

Reba McEntire revealed that she turned down a role as a coach on the first season of “The Voice” that ultimately went to her fellow country star Blake Shelton.

The 65-year-old music and TV icon appeared on a recent episode of “Watch What Happens Live,” where a fan asked if it was just a rumor that she was the original choice to be the show’s country-leaning coach. "It is very true," she confirmed. "It was a very popular show in Holland, I'm pretty sure, and I watched the tape, and I said, 'No, I'm going to pass on that,' because I don't think I could ever be able to tell somebody that they're terrible or ‘go find another job’ or ‘hope you like your nighttime job.’ I couldn't do that day in and day out.
