LeAnn Rimes 'disappointed' The Voice contestants don't know who she is - after THAT Logies joke wiped the smile from co-star Guy Sebastian's face READ MORE: Adam Lambert reveals what he really thinks of The Voice Australia By Kinta Walsh-cotton For Daily Mail Australia Published: 21:37 EDT, 19 August 2024 | Updated: 22:10 EDT, 19 August 2024 e-mail View comments The Voice judge LeAnn Rimes was reportedly 'disappointed' young contestants on the singing competition didn't know who she was during the blind auditions. The American musician, 41, shot to fame in the late 1990s for being the youngest person to ever win a Grammy Award at the age of 14. Best known for her work on the soundtrack for the 2000 hit movie Coyote Ugly, sources claim LeAnn was left embarrassed when some on The Voice had to be told who she was, reported Woman's Day on Monday.
'The younger singers wouldn't have even heard of Coyote Ugly and that was really what put her on the map,' an insider told the publication. Rimes' single from the album, Can't Fight The Moonlight, was wildly popular at the time, selling over two million copies worldwide and reaching the top of the charts in Australia, as well as becoming the country's biggest-selling single of 2001. 'Some of the contestants weren't even born when that song was released,' added the insider.
'Behind the scenes, the contestants really got the hard sell on why they should pick LeAnn and once you realise how big she was back in the day and who she worked with, people quickly changed their minds.' Daily Mail Australia has reached out to Seven for comment. The Voice judge LeAnn Rimes, 41, (pictured) was reportedly 'disappointed' young contestants on the singing competition didn't know who she was during the blind auditions The brutal claims came just one day after comedian Sam Pang took aim at LeAnn during his 2024 Logies monologue .
Praised by fans for his take-no-prisoners roast of Aussie stars and networks alike, Sam, 50, landed a 'savage' joke against LeAnn which left her co-stars reeling. He commented that viewers would only know who the Can't Fight The Moonlight hitmaker was from Googling 'Who is LeAnn Rimes?' The joke quickly wiped the smile off the faces of the singer's Voice co-stars Guy Sebastian and Kate Miller-Heidke. Despite their reactions, viewers at home were left in stitches over his 'fearless' opening monologue which saw him boldly take aim at Channel Seven.

He also hit out at Network 10 and Married At First Sight in his take-no-prisoners monologue, before making jokes at the expense of LeAnn and Adam Lambert . 'Firstly, Channel 7, well, I'm just letting you all know I'm going to say whatever I want tonight,' he said as he kicked things off.
'I stand before you safe in the knowledge that whatever I say, this network will defend me in court, and with their impeccable record in defamation cases over the last 12 months I reckon I'll be fine.' The brutal claims came just one day after comedian Sam Pang took aim at LeAnn during his 2024 Logies monologue. The joke left LeAnn's co-star Guy Sebastian and Kate Miller-Heidke (both pictured on Sunday night) stony-faced Amid a string of jobs being cut at Seven, Sam then joked that he wasn't getting paid by the network for his hosting gig and said they would instead be paying his rent.
'Full disclosure - I'm not getting paid by Channel Seven tonight. Instead, for the next 12 months, they're paying my rent,' he quipped. Which is handy as they'll know what address to send the Thai masseuse to.
' After his Seven comments, Pang then held Network Ten's feet to the fire as he referenced their difficult year, which has seen them axe shows including The Bachelor and The Masked Singer, with further fears arising about the future of free-to-air. 2024 TV WEEK Logie Award WINNERS: Full list Gold Logie for Most Popular Personality on Australian Television WINNER - Larry Emdur, Entertainer and presenter Andy Lee, Entertainer and broadcaster Asher Keddie, Actress Julia Morris, Presenter and comedian Robert Irwin, Presenter Sonia Kruger, Entertainer and presenter Tony Armstrong, Presenter and broadcaster Bert Newton Award for Most Popular Presenter WINNER - Larry Emdur, The Chase Australia and The Morning Show, Seven Network Hamish Blake, Lego Masters Australia, 9Network Julia Morris, I'm A Celebrity ..
