At the end of the first ‘Duets’ show, both of Kelly Clarkson’s duet partners were both at the bottom of the scoreboard. Her young partner with a grown voice, Jason Farol, ended the night in a disappointing 8th place. Clarkson was sure she could help him do better this week.
Jennifer Nettles and J Rome once again took the stage on tonight's episode (May 31) of 'Duets' to perform 'You're the One That I Want,' only one of the most recognizable duets known to music fans. The Olivia Newton-John and John Travolta duet from 'Grease' was a "big risk, big reward" moment, since it's a song from a musical that could cheese out ... and quick.
In the beginning of the second hour of tonight’s episode of ‘Duets’ John Legend had to replace his former contestant Johnny Gray due to unknown circumstances. Legend then held rapid-fire auditions for hundreds of people and after a tough decision he narrowed it down to two people and gave them a song to learn to perform the next day. Hawaiian beauty Meleana Brown ended up being the lucky winner and performed ‘Endless Love’ tonight with Legend.
Last week on ‘Duets,’ Jennifer Nettles proved that she was an excellent talent scout with two great duet partner choices. This week, she has to prove that her choices have staying power with the classics. And, in her words, her first partner, John Glosson, “brought a gun to a knife fight” and confirmed her feelings that he’s the best singer in the bunch.
This week on 'Duets,' Kelly Clarkson sang Pink and Steven Tyler's 'Misery' with her contestant Jordan Meredith in an effort to improve her scores from last week's episode. Meredith was in the bottom two last week and everyone expected her to prove that she truly belongs on the show.
On tonight's episode (May 31) of 'Duets,' the celebrity mentors and their amateur partners teamed up to sing some of the most famous duets in history. John Legend and his charge Bridget Carrington sang 'I Knew You Were Waiting (For Me),' popularized by Aretha Franklin and George Michael. Make it hard, why don'tcha guys! Singing a 'Retha song is like singing a Whitney Houston song. As in: it's hard!
It’s show number two for ‘Duets’ and they seem ready to keep the heat pumping. Kelly Clarkson and Robin Thicke kicked off the show with an energetic judges’ performance of the Jacksons’ ‘State of Shock’ which originally featured Michael Jackson.
In case you haven't been keeping up with your reality singing competitions, 'Duets' is the newest show to impact your television. Unlike 'American Idol' and 'The Voice,' the show pairs contestants with a famous mentor who they perform live with on the broadcasts.
Superstar singers Kelly Clarkson, Robin Thicke, Jennifer Nettles (of Sugarland) and John Legend have taken on the task of mentoring these contestants/duet partners. So which of these stars are you rooting for the most?
Soul man Robin Thicke kicked off the 'Good Morning America' summer concert series today with a performance outside the ABC morning show's studio in New York. The 'Duets' mentor also chatted about the first night of the program and the "special spark" that his proteges possess.
Just two hours into the 'Duets' series, and trends are forming. For Kelly Clarkson, that means choosing duet partners that are tall on talent, but a little short on confidence. Much like Jason Farol earlier, Jordan Meredith was trembling when she first joined the pop superstar. Her performance of 'Stronger' was anything but lacking in swagger, however.
