Kelly Clarkson Returns to 'The Voice' for 'Battle of Champions' Season: A Look Back at Her Winning Journey
Kelly Clarkson is gearing up for her return to "The Voice" for the special "Battle of Champions" season. This season will feature only three coaches who have all previously won the show: Clarkson, Adam Levine, and John Legend. Fans are excited to see Clarkson back in her spinning red chair after her last appearance in Season 23. In a preview clip, Clarkson reflects on her past wins and memorable moments on the show.
Clarkson's journey on "The Voice" began in Season 14 when she secured her first victory with 15-year-old Brynn Cartelli. She continued her winning streak in the following season with Chevel Shepherd. Clarkson expresses her love for working with young artists, appreciating their creativity and willingness to try new things.
In Season 21, Clarkson made history by coaching the first trio to win the competition, Girl Named Tom. However, she considers her win with country music singer Jake Hoot in Season 17 as her most exciting victory. Clarkson enjoyed besting Blake Shelton with a country artist, playfully teasing the "King of Country" about her win.
Clarkson fondly recalls her early days on "The Voice," including moments when Shelton doubted her experience on the show. Despite the initial skepticism, Clarkson proved her talent by winning and cherishes the feeling of proving doubters wrong. She also mentions feeling welcomed into the "Voice" family from the start, thanks to Shelton and Levine's support.
While Shelton has since left the show, Clarkson will reunite with Levine for the upcoming "Battle of Champions" season. Fans can catch the new season premiering on Monday, Feb. 23 on NBC. Clarkson's return promises to bring more memorable moments and fierce competition to "The Voice" stage.
