Singing competition shake-ups!
Simon Cowell won't be part of the upcoming American Idol, but Kelly Clarkson has decided she wants in on being a coach on The Voice.
"I was asked to do it, and the answer is no. I have no interest. My memories are when we first started. It was a different time with Randy [Jackson], Ryan [Seacrest] and Paula [Abdul]. You can't re-create that," Cowell told Extra.
Although she rose to fame on AI, the "Stronger" singer is joining Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton, and Jennifer Hudson in the swivel chairs.
“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!!†she said in a statement.
We can't wait to tune in!
