• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the show prep was 100% done. The conversation, it fell through.
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: It didn't happen. I keep all of my notes because
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: I believe that paths will one day cross again. Let
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: me explain missed opportunity. It's my questions and statements without
• 1:08

• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of every question, hoping they'll download the talk and insert
• 1:14

• 1:21
  Speaker 1: to sea forever. And it's our hope to locate a destination.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: This week, we're putting focus on my missed opportunity with
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: singer-songwriter Dexter Roberts from NBC's The Voice. And we're talking
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: about season number 16. And country music was his big thing.
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: Hailing from Alabama in 2019, he checked in at 27
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: years old. He was part of Team Blake Shelton. an
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: instant favorite on the weekly music contest. Not bad for
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: a man who told fans on national television that he
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: comes from a very small, small town, where things, they
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: just don't happen like this, and when it does, it's
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: very big news. Blake Shelton quickly made it very clear
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: that Dexter Roberts was tuned into not only his talents,
• 2:08
  Speaker 1: but his work ethics. Blake predicted that Dexter had a
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: bright future in country music. It didn't take too much
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: for that George Strait comparison to come walking through that door. Now,
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: the invitation to spend time with Dexter Roberts on NBC's
• 2:24
  Speaker 1: The Voice arrived in March of 2019. I shot back,
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: oh my God, we got to do this, man. We're
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: talking about the guy that Adam Levine said, greatness is
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: greatness and you have it in spades. In the end...
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: It didn't have a superstar number one position win. He
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: came in at number three. Now, this wasn't the only
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: music reality show that Dexter tried his luck at. Many,
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: many fans of such competition shows saw him five years
• 2:52
  Speaker 1: earlier on American Idol. Once the show was over, he
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: hit the voice tour. but was forced to step off
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: that path due to sickness, Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever. He
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: told viewers on The Voice he didn't think he'd ever
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: make it back. He said it feels too much like
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: Star Trek. It became a missed opportunity. Coming up next,
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: my questions, my statements for singer-songwriter Dexter Roberts. Hey, thanks
• 3:24
  Speaker 1: for coming back to Missed Opportunity. This week, it's my
• 3:26
  Speaker 1: missed opportunity with Dexter Roberts from NBC's The Voice. All right,
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: Team Blake. Blake doesn't waste his time with people. It's
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: as if he already knows what the future of music
• 3:38
  Speaker 1: is handing to us. When you go into a recording
• 3:42
  Speaker 1: deal in Nashville, do you have to be extremely cautious?
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: Come on now, we've got to be honest. It is
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: an age of music and performance and it's required. What
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: are your social networks when it comes to putting your
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: face and word out there? Putting new music on tour.
• 4:03
  Speaker 1: How do you get that live audience to buy into
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: a song that many of them have never even heard before? Dude,
• 4:11
  Speaker 1: we got to talk about that Rocky Mountain spotted fever.
• 4:13
  Speaker 1: I live in a forest. I've got these deer. This
• 4:15
  Speaker 1: is an everyday fear for me. What is it like
• 4:18
  Speaker 1: to detect it? Because I've been in there to take
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: those pills for all of those days, and I always
• 4:23
  Speaker 1: came up empty-handed. What made you say yes to Rocky
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: Mountain spotted fever? Your family has always supported your musical ambitions.
• 4:32
  Speaker 1: What is that like for you? Because there's many of
• 4:34
  Speaker 1: us on this side of the TV screen, we don't
• 4:36
  Speaker 1: have such support. Going on the road at 23. Oh,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: I know what that's like. But how do you find
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: focus at 23? And the final question. While inside the
• 4:50
  Speaker 1: circles of NBC's The Voice, do you find inspiration to collaborate?
• 4:57
  Speaker 1: There you go. It's another missed opportunity, a lost piece
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: of history. You now know the questions, so let's locate
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: the answers. The door is always going to be open.
