The Voice: Blake Sheltons tough love makes singer cry after scaring stage presence into her – USA TODAY

Blake Shelton may have a heart after all. But the country star's methods of showing his love are questionable, to say the least. On Monday's episode of "The Voice," Shelton made singer Emma Caroline cry during the second night of the Battles.  Caroline, 25, and Cam Anthony, 19, entered the ring for the first head-to-head of the night. Shelton selected "10,000 Hours" by Dan + Shay and Justin Bieber for the pair, a perfect blend of "pop and country artists coming together, which is what we have here." Did we mention Dan + Shay are Shelton's musical advisors? "Singing a song in front of the guys that wrote it is quite intimidating," Anthony said during rehearsals. Caroline agreed: "No pressure."
