Forget 'American Idol': Kelly Clarkson Joins 'The Voice' as Judge

Jenny McCarthy Launches New Series, 'Inner Circle,' On Her SiriusXM Show 'The Jenny McCarthy Show;' First Guest Kelly ClarksonIn spite of rumors that Kelly Clarkson would return to the "American Idol" reboot as a judge, the first winner of the reality singing competition show is headed to its competitor instead.

NBC's "The Voice" has locked down Clarkson as a Season 14 judge, Variety reports. She'll sit in one of the panel's spinning chairs alongside Blake Shelton and Adam Levine, plus one more still unnamed judge. Apparently, her addition has been one NBC has been hoping to make happen for quite some time now.

"We've gone back and forth about a role as a coach for years, but the timing hasn't been right until now," Clarkson said, according to Variety.

Although "American Idol" is the show most people associate with Clarkson given that it launched her career, she has a past relationship with "The Voice," too. The singer has appeared on the show multiple times before, both as as an adviser and performer. As a judge, we'll see if Clarkson can help any of the contestants become as successful in the industry as she has been. As popular as "The Voice" is, it hasn't produced any musicians with a career like hers.
