The Voice is one of the most popular singing competitions to have ever hit the airwaves. The show is based on pure vocal talent, with contestants going through Blind Auditions before picking a team. It's an interesting way to allow the coaches to hear the vocal abilities before judging on appearance.
The coaches, who rotate through each season, are always a topic of discussion among fans. The first season featured Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, and Cee-Lo Green.
Blake and Adam are the only two coaches who have participated in each and every season. It's season 13 now, and the judges consist of Jennifer Hudson, Miley Cyrus, Blake and Adam. Both Miley and Jennifer have been lightning rods for criticism this season. Miley is back for her second run, but the audience still can't seem to like her.
There was also a lot of drama when Gwen Stefani was a coach. She and Blake are in a serious relationship, and people felt the show focused too much on their romance and not enough on the music.
It was announced that for season 14, The Voice would be welcoming American Idol champion Kelly Clarkson to their coaching lineup, but the fourth judging position has been vacant for months.
But Kelly Clarkson finally spilled the beans on which previous coach will be returning to the red chairs, and we cannot wait!
In a video released for The Voice, Clarkson talked about how excited she was that it was her who got to announce the new coach.
"I'm so excited because I get to announce who the final, fourth coach is on season 14," she sid. "I'm the new one, but this fourth one we haven't mentioned yet!"
Alicia Keys will be filling the fourth coaching spot on season 14 of The Voice! Keys won season 12 of the show and is looking to do it again.
"Defending my crown!" she told Clarkson.
"We are thrilled to welcome back Alicia's positive energy, competitive spirit and sheer talent," Paul Telegdy, NBC Entertainment President of Alternative and Reality Group, said in a statement. "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!"
Are you excited to see Alicia Keys returning?
