Blake Shelton is considered deaf in the ‘minimum wage’ range

Blake SheltonThe attempt to romanticize earning a minimum wage is irritating many people who struggle to stay afloat during the pandemic.

The country star has been facing a negative reaction since the release of the song “Minimum Wage” during NBC’s New Year’s Eve TV special. It’s supposed to be a ballad for his fiancee, Gwen Stefani, but considering that both are multimillionaires … the lyrics are under pressure.

Phrases like “Girl, your love can make a man feel rich on a minimum wage” are, at best, inappropriate for many Blake fans.

One of them reacted on social media … “I love his music, but the moment for the Minimum Wage is not good. With so many unemployed and struggling, the music seems a little deaf. I would like to hear songs that are more personal. I wanted to let him write more of his own stuff, because he’s an amazing composer. “

Another, who is clearly not a fan, wrote … “The irony of hearing a millionaire Blake Shelton singing about ‘minimum wage love’ in late 2020 may be lost on his target audience.”
