The Voice is right now in its thirteenth season, however fans are now catching wind of what's in store for 2018. Already, it was uncovered that Kelly Clarkson would join the judges' board for season 14 and, with the reboot of American Idol, a few fans were asking why Clarkson wouldn't be a judge on Idol. She disclosed to 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 as a mentor on the show, much the same as amateur Jennifer Hudson, who is a judge for the ebb and flow season 13. Hudson is additionally a previous American Idol candidate, who has joined The Voice as a mentor and Clarkson conversed with ET Online about Hudson, saying:
I love, first of all, just the confidence that she has, and I had so much fun with her. I think there is a difference being one of the contestants previously on a show like this. I think that does carry weight.
Well, it looks like Shelton was right. Variety has reported that Paul Telegdy, president of Alternative and Reality Group at NBC Entertainment, announced:
We are thrilled to welcome back Alicia’s positive energy, competitive spirit and sheer talent. She brings unparalleled expertise and has proven she knows how to help artists win. The chemistry between Alicia, Kelly, Adam and Blake will make for a wildly unpredictable and compelling Season 14.
Season 14 of The Voice is set to premiere in February 2017, with Blake Shelton, Alicia Keys, Adam Levine and Kelly Clarkson as the coaches.
