Tonight on The Tonight Show, Jimmy Fallon and The Roots invited The Voice coaches to do a mashup of their hits acapella style. The started with Adam Levine, followed up with Jennifer Hudson, somehow got Blake Shelton to blend in before saving, Kelly Clarkson, the best for last.
Oddly enough, not only do they mesh well together as coaches on the NBC show. They also mesh well when they sing as one. Who knew?
The first trailer is out for the star-studded animated movie Ugly Dolls and I am disappointed by it. You would think with a cast like Janelle Monáe, Nick Jonas, Pitbull, Wanda Sykes, Kelly Clarkson, Blake Shelton and Emma Roberts, they would spend money on making the animation film look good, but I guess they spent it all on the cast instead.
It looks cheaper than the animated series based on movies that the kids you know watch on Netflix. Have you seen how bad those Barbie episodes look? Plus, the song is not as catchy as the ones in Trolls.
Yet, having said all of that, I am sure lots of kids will be begging their parents to take them to see it on May 10th. Then we will be forced to buy them the toys from it for their birthdays. It is an evil cycle that costs us money.
Clarkson will voice Moxy in the film that comes out in May and she will sing a few songs in it too along with her costar Pitbull. In the movie, Moxy and her UglyDolls friends confront what it means to be different, struggle with their desire to be loved, and ultimately discover that you don’t have to be perfect to be amazing because who you truly are is what matters most. She might be too cute to play ugly, but it is her personality that makes her perfect for the role.
Little girls around the world will want to own a Moxy doll because who does not want to be friends with the American Idol?
Along with the movie coming out, Hulu also gave the popular plush dolls a full series order. Get ready to buy all the kids in your life an UglyDoll for Christmas and their birthdays.
The Voice announced who their fall coaches will be and they are..wait for it…Blake Shelton and Adam Levine. Oh wait, they are a given? Well, sitting besides them will be Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson.
That means that if American Idol comes back in the fall on ABC, then their asses will be kicked by The Voice. Well, that and probably whatever else is on against it.
I think the OG American Idol is a great choice, the Oscar winner not so much. Although it is an interesting strategy to have 2 Idols on the NBC singing competition at the same time.
We know a lot about Kelly Clarkson, but did you know she likes to make quilts. As a parting gift to her Voice coaches, she made them each one.
The American Idol described her inspiration for each as, “@blakeshelton was inspired by denim & blues, @adamlevine is rock & roll attire & @aliciakeys is purples & family 😊 love y’all!” But she also warned, “Yaaaassss! #quiltingismyjam ….but don’t look 2 closely because it sort of looks like a high school home economics project 🤣#madewithlovenotperfection.” To me, they are perfect because they are made from the heart!
What did Blake Shelton think of his? He wrote, “NEVER has a voice coach hand made me a gift!!! Thank you Kelly Clarkson!!!” Then he added, “I didn’t want Adam in my picture… What an absolute dickhead.” I love his bromance with Adam Levine as much as I love Clarkson’s quilts. The only negative thing about them, is we have no need for them in Los Angeles! And yet I still want one.
You know Kelly, if this singing thing does not work out, you totally be a quilt maker. I bet you Bed, Bath and Beyond, HSN or QVC would totally invest in Clarkson’s Piece by Piece.
