The Voice is currently in season 13, but there is already buzz about what’s in store for next year.
Kelly Clarkson will be joining the judges’ panel for season 14 and many fans were wondering why she wouldn’t choose to judge American Idol instead, considering that’s where her rise to fame began. The singer told Entertainment Online,
“I’ve been in talks with The Voice about doing stuff for years. It’s a family decision too, for us. Like, my husband Brandon Blackstock manages Blake Shelton so we’re all in one place and it’s going to be good. And I’m excited, ya’ll … I had to interview with Ryan Seacrest recently, it was so weird. We’ve never been on, like, opposing networks and so it was funny. We had a good laugh about it.”
This will be Clarkson’s first time coaching a television show just like the current season 13 judge, Jennifer Hudson, who was also on American Idol, The two won’t be working together though since Hudson won’t be returning next season.
But good news! Alicia Keys is back! Keys left The Voice after last season, but coach Blake Shelton knew deep down that she would return…and he was right! The singer left to work on music of her own and admitted how much she loves writing. She announced in May that she’s working on her seventh studio album, so I guess she decided to take on both projects lucky for us.
Season 14 of The Voice will premiere in February of 2018 with Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Alicia Keys and Kelly Clarkson as coaches.
