‘The Voice’ Season 8 News: Award-Winning Singer/Songwriter Jason Isbell Invited To Privately Audition For Show [VIDEO]
A talent producer from The Voice made a major mistake Wednesday Nov. 19 when they sent Americana Music Association's reigning 2014 Artist of the Year, Jason Isbell, an email asking him to consider trying out for the eighth season of the reality singing competition.

The Voice is currently still airing its seventh season, but the show is already on the hunt for great talent for the next season.
Isbell tweeted Wednesday that this unnamed talent producer, has "been researching online," which is clearly a jab at the individual since Isbell is an accomplished musician who doesn't need a boost from a reality TV show.

Isbell's complete tweet can be seen below. In it he shared an excerpt from the email, which includes the talent producer claiming they found Isbell online and "was hoping to chat with him about auditioning for us if it's something that interests him," in a questioning way.
Isbell followed up that tweet with his response to the talent producer by saying he'd wear a bikini during his audition. His full tweet is below.
Isbell is clearly being comical about the situation. As reported by Rolling Stone, he has played 120 shows within this year alone, most of which were sold out in support of his solo album Southeastern that broke into the Top 40 during its first week of release.
Do you think The Voice's flub over not realizing who Isbell is could haunt them?
