“The Voice:” Kelly Clarkson added as a coach for season 14.
On the heels of news that "American Idol" was coming back to the airwaves, Kelly Clarkson announced that she had signed on to be a coach on “The Voice” for next season. Clarkson, who was the original “American Idol,” will be joining “Voice” original coaches Adam Levine and Blake Shelton.
Clarkson released a statement about joining the long-running singing competition:
“I’m so excited to join The Voice at NBC. We’ve gone back and forth about a role as a coach for years, but the timing hasn’t been right until now. I have always loved appearing on the show as an adviser or performer and established an amazing relationship with the network during my Christmas special. I can’t wait to turn my chair and see the faces of up-and-coming artists and provide them with the help and support they’ve needed to break into the industry. Watch out Shelton, I’m comin’ to win!!”
A fourth coach has yet to be announced.
Season 13 of “The Voice” will return this fall, with coaches Adam Levine, Miley Cyrus, Blake Shelton, and “American Idol” alum Jennifer Hudson.
