So, there's been a lot of outrage and discussion on social media after country singer, Blake Shelton, bagged the 'Sexiest Man Alive' title on Tuesday from People Magazine.

Personally, I do think Blake Shelton is a dishy cowboy. There is something about him, not only his piercing eyes, dimples, and charm, but his sense of humor is absolutely delish!
Watching him and Adam Levine spur each other on during The Voice is pure joy! His girlfriend, the beautiful Gwen Stefani, is like a little school girl around her 'boyfie' and giggles at everything he does. When Blake was named 'Sexiest Man Alive' she took to social media and said she already knew that he would bag it. Talk about love and support.

As expected, Blake received some hate from those on social media who did not agree with People Magazine's choice of giving him the title. He has taken to his Instagram to read some of the mean comments from many who have expressed their views on him not deserving the title.
Thank y’all for the supportive words! #donthatemebecauseimbeautiful

On the other side of the spectrum, fans of actor Idris Elba are taking to social media to express their views, with some even saying that he was 'robbed' of the title. Ouch!

I think I can explain why Blake Shelton was the Sexist Man Alive instead of Idris Elba.

Why did Idris Elba change his name to Blake Shelton? He's already an established actor so it's kinda weird but whatever... congratulations! pic.twitter.com/bsnu8wdcwk

Blake Shelton named sexiest man... Is it because Idris Elba is a mythical being that he wasn't nominated? pic.twitter.com/L84T5vWLO9
