Kelly Clarkson has the upper hand over ‘The Voice’.
Not only did she win the NBC singing competition three times as a coach, but Clarkson had the unique insight from a contestant’s point of view as the first winner of Fox’s “American Idol” in 2002, host Carson Daly said Tuesday during the fourth night of blind auditions noticed. .
“She won a show just like this,” Daly told Blake Shelton, Nick Jonas and John Legend. “She probably knows more about this than any of you.”
Shelton, who has been serving as ‘Voice coach’ for a decade, was not impressed because he said ‘the show has been canceled’. (‘American Idol’ was revived by ABC in 2018.) The landlord playfully added that Clarkson ‘can not complete her team’ and is a ‘terrible coach’.

However, some participants felt differently.
Clarkson successfully lured 17-year-old contestant Gihanna Zoe, who took turns with her rendition of Sara Bareilles’ ‘She Used to Be Mine’ twice, away from Jonas with her solid CV.
“Of course, I myself have also gone through a singing competition before, so I think there is strategy to that,” Clarkson said. “I feel like we would fit in well together. That’s why I turned around. I was really impressed by you.”
And it worked. Zoe joined Team Clarkson.
But her go-to pitch has lost its effectiveness.
Deion Warren earned three innings from Clarkson, Jonas and Legend for his powerful performance of Lady Gaga’s “Shallow”.
“Choose, I do not know, someone who has won a vocal competition,” Clarkson said. Jonas interrupts, “Or (choose) someone who has not (won) and has much to prove.”
Warren chooses Jonas as his coach.

Although no love is lost between the coaches, they remain loyal to their network.
When participant JD Casper pointed out that his blind audition song was, “How to Save a Life” by The Fray, appeared in ABC’s “Grey’s Anatomy”, and the coaches had an interesting reaction.
“I did not watch the program. I mean sorry ‘Grey’s Anatomy,'” Clarkson said. Legend added: “It was on a different network. We are not looking at that network.” Sorry, Shonda Rhimes.
Blind auditions resume Monday on NBC on “The Voice.”
