American Idol made the decision to return to television after just a year off from television, and in that time two of its biggest stars signed with The Voice to be judges. Jennifer Hudson is doing this Fall and Kelly Clarkson will be on the Spring.
Since the first American Idol had not signed on to the NBC show before it was announced that the other singing competition was picked up by ABC, people wanted to know why she chose the way that she did. Ellen DeGeneres asked her about her decision and the singer told her that she was not expecting them to bring it back so soon. Then she explained she had already been in talks with The Voice before, but was not able to do it because she was either pregnant or touring. Plus, she had been on the NBC show several times because her husband manages Blake Shelton. When it comes to Idol she says, “I gave the 15 years. I was there every season.”
Let’s be real, American Idol’s loss is The Voice’s gain because who doesn’t love Kelly Clarkson?
