Songstresses Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Nettles (Sugarland) join Lionel Richie and Robin Thicke as stars of Duets, ABC’s version of The Voice and American Idol, EW reports.
The Duets cameras will follow the four stars cross-country as they search for America’s best and brightest undiscovered talent. Once they find their perfect partner, or partners, the singers will join the contestants on stage to perform a duet in front of a live studio audience. In the end, the last amateur standing wins a recording contract.
With the addition of Duets to primetime, three of the big five networks now have a primetime singing competition on air.
When asked about the show, Clarkson said, “It’s completely different. We get to collaborate with the artists that we choose. We get to go find the talent we really believe in.”
Clarkson, Richie and Thicke are all featured as guest coaches on this season of The Voice, so it looks like ABC took its cues from that hit show.
Fingers crossed Clarkson and Nettles do some dueting together over the course of the season.
