As season 21 of The Voice begins, Kelly Clarkson shares why she claims that Ariana Grande is a one-of-a-kind coach on the series. Beginning in 2011, NBC's The Voice has challenged both its coaches and audiences to celebrate music and new artists without superficial judgment. Known for its blind audition and panel of celebrity coaches, The Voice continues to stand out as a competitive, humorous, and often moving reality series featuring both established judges alongside up-and-coming performers. Welcoming Ariana to coach, the series welcomes a refreshing new season of the long-running series.
With week 1 of the competitions complete, John Legend, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton, and Ariana Grande move forward with their teams, working tirelessly to help guide their singers and make the most of their short time until the end of the competition. With coaches coming and going throughout the course of the series, Ariana has taken the role of the newest coach to join the series with one competition already finished for the young coach. Well-received on the series and providing insight into the pop genre, Ariana adds a well-needed level of humor and experience to the eclectic panel of coaches on The Voice.
Released on Showbiz CheatSheet, Kelly Clarkson expressed that The Voice has never "had a coach like [Ariana]" before. While Ariana was considered scary at first by her fellow coaches, she has now gained the approval of Kelly after her important additions to the series. Kelly specifically shared that Ariana has prioritized "vocal health" in her coaching on season 21, something Kelly feels has been lacking from the series. Even preparing miniature "vocal health" care kits for her team selections, Ariana has gone above and beyond to put her team's needs first. With fresh ideas about coaching teams on The Voice and "vib[ing]" well with the cast, Ariana appears to be making an excellent impression on both her fellow coaches, as well as audiences.
As season 21 continues, there are plenty of unknowns going into the battle rounds. With plenty of talented contestants and an already excellent collection of guest coaches, The Voice has continued to keep the series relevant and entertaining, despite the handful of reality shows that focus on singing competitions. Ariana is certainly an edgier coach, yet her distinct point of view has helped to improve the series and give contestants a unique experience on The Voice. Not only does Kelly think that Ariana has an important role on the series, but she also claims that Ariana is "very witty" and "so funny." Even teasing that Ariana is more popular than Blake, Kelly shared only the highest compliments for her fellow coach. Well-rounded and highly praised by Kelly, Ariana appears to have transitioned well into her role on reality television, bringing her charm from her music and prior television experience to The Voice.
With plenty of musical performances planned for the future and a thrilling competition on the rise, The Voice continues to stand out as a memorable addition to the vast array of reality shows on air. As drama ensues both on and off stage, with divorces and even fans upset with The Voice judges, the series certainly has plenty to cover throughout the season in-between performances. The Voice still remains as light-hearted and enjoyable as ever, yet adding Ariana's fresh ideas will ensure audiences stay entertained.
