Duets: Another Singing Reality TV Show

Are you psyched about Duets? Another reality TV singing competition in the works with Kelly Clarkson as a mentor.


ABC Network is banking on the numbers being pulled in by other reality TV shows like American Idol, X-Factor and The Voice. So will Duets take off like the 'Voice' or just get instantly cancelled like Karoake Battle USA? The polar opposite of the 'Voice' battlerounds, Duets takes on protege and celeb voice mentor onto the stage. As usual America gets to vote which singing duo gets to stay.

As much as I thought, Kelly Clarkson was trying to distance herself from any reality TV contest, how come she ends up as a judge in Duets. Was her stint as a celebrity mentor in the voice the ultimate pull for her to finally join Reality TV once again? And why the hell is Kelly Clarkson dissing American Idol? She should be at least grateful. AI was the reality show that gave her that famous big break.

More About Duets:
The hosts will individually travel across America looking for undiscovered talent. Ultimately, each star will choose two singers to be his/her duet partners. Together the mentors and their protégés will take the stage each week and perform in front of a live studio audience. In the end, one of the pairs will win, with the amateur getting a recording contract with Hollywood Records.

Other celeb mentors in Duets include Jennifer Nettles, Robin Thicke and John Legend (Lionel Richie has dropped out of the show due to scheduling problems).
