PopWatch has been a fan sincehe nailed the EW Pop Culture Personality Test back in 2008.
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: When do you yell at the TV?
And I have certain dances that I do.
[Stands up] Like, if we get a touchdown, its like [moonwalks].
A field goal is just [snaps fingers repeatedly] with a high-pitched noise with it.
Your guilty pleasure dance song?
I cant help but dance when somebody calls her…
The Doobie Brothers What a Fool Believes makes me want to move.
And I still havent gotten over the Macarena.
Back in Black by AC/DC.
Just before that, it was Rich Girl by Hall & Oates.
Do you smuggle snacks into the movie theater?
That was THE last time I was ever in a movie theater to watch a movie.
I dont see why you would leave the house to go do that.
That blows me away.
Why would you do that?
Because you wanna see a movie right when it comes out?
I guess I never realize when somethin comes out.
A movie that made you cry?
If you could have written any song, what would it be?
Home by Michael Buble.
Thats been a big hit two times now.
[Sheltons 2008 cover also went to No.
1.WATCH THE VIDEO.]
Michael Buble is seriously my favorite entertainer.
Have you ever seen the guy in concert?
Guys want to meet him.
He has everything that I wish I could do onstage.
And Im guessin hes a good-lookin guy although hes not one ofPeoplemagazines sexiest men.
[Shelton had just been crownedPeoples sexiest country singer.]
Your position on karaoke?
My specialty is Tracy Byrds Im From the Country.
I will get absolutely belligerently drunk if they have music by Tracy Byrd on karaoke.
And Im not afraid.
Theres never a hesitation.
Im goin for it tonight.
Watermelon Crawl, all day long.
Your worst karaoke misfire?
Were Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister.
I dont do that one very good at all.
And Red Red Wine.
Seems like that would be a good one to do, but it doesnt go over like you think.
Your last pop-culture related fight?
Last night, I had an argument with [my publicist and my manager] about a movie calledSommersby.
Wasnt that a pretty big movie?
Richard Gere and Jodie Foster.
Ive never been so frustrated, because theyre both goin Richard Gere.
I love Richard Gere.
Ive seen every one of his movies.
Blanche!, and she wont answer, and Rose says, I know shes in there.
Those are awesome lines.
Your pop culture blind spot?
The Rocky Horror Picture Show.
Ive never seen that.
I dont know what that is.High School Musical.
The person you wrote a fan letter to when you were young?
I dont think it ever got to her.
Have you ever met her?
I met her last week at the CMAs, and it was terrible.
I told myself right before I went to introduce myself, I shouldnt do this.
She hadnt heard of me, which is not shocking.
But when she picks up her latest issue ofPeople, shes gonna be kickin herself.
The piece of pop culture memorabilia from your childhood you wish you still had?
I collected two things: The California Raisins from Hardees.
They had a different one each week.
I think I had all of em.
You got a little picture booklet to follow along with it.
Thats gotta be worth somethin.
The first celebrity you befriended?
[Thinks] Earl Thomas Conley, my favorite singer of all time.
I got a chance to write with him when I got my record deal.
And then most recently, and one of the ones Im more excited about, is Ted Nugent.

Where I live in Oklahoma, its all ranchers.
My friends are all cowboys and pretty rough guys.
Your funniest mistaken identity story?
At Fan Fair, from a distance, I heard somebody yell the word Terri!
Thats when I decided Im cuttin the hair.
The cheesy ballad you cant help but love?
Morning Desire by Kenny Rogers.
Thatll be what it is from now on: Waking up with a Beckham.

There are two: I loveSteel Magnolias.
And I likeThe Upside of Anger.
Isnt that kind of a girl-punch in movie?
The movie you have to watch every time you spot it on cable?
Pure Countrywith George Strait.
AndDumb and Dumber, which used to be on TNT or TBS all the time.
The subject we dont want to get you started on?
People that dress disrespectfully for awards shows and/or the Grand Ole Opry.
I dont like when people show up lookin like they just got done workinon their damn car.
Thats the most disrespectful thing I can possibly imagine somebody doing to country music.
I could go on and on about it.
Your worst DVR mishap?
And when Mirandas on the bus, she always programs it to saveLaw & Orderepisodes.
I had things on there that I had selected for times when Mirandas not around.
So now, theres nothing butLaw & Orderepisodes DVRd on my tour bus.
And NASCAR races, because I guess those are G-rated.
