Kelly Clarkson is once again putting together an incredibly strong team of singers to compete on The Voice season 21. After being featured as a part-time advisor in season 13, Kelly became a full-time coach starting on The Voice season 14. Unlike most other coaches on the show, Kelly didn't take any season breaks ever since joining the show. Instead, she chose to become a mainstay coach alongside Blake Shelton.
The impact that Kelly has had in the music industry speaks for itself. Over the course of her career, Kelly has landed three no. 1 albums on Billboard - Thankful (2003), All I Ever Wanted (2009), and Piece By Piece (2015). She has also landed three no. 1 songs in the Hot 100 chart: "A Moment Like This" (2002), "My Life Would Suck Without You" (2009), and "Stronger (What Doesn't Kill You)" (2012). Kelly's successful career in music is another reason why she's such a popular coach among viewers.
Over the course of seven seasons, a singer from Team Kelly has been crowned the champion of The Voice three times: Brynn Cartelli (season 14), Chevel Shepherd (season 15), and Jake Hoot (season 17). Due to her huge popularity as a musician and media personality, many singers pick to join Team Kelly during their Blind Auditions. For season 21, Kelly has put together a formidable team of talented performers.
Girl Named Tom is a band consisting of three siblings: Bekah, Joshua, and Caleb. During their Blind Audition with "Helplessly Hoping" by Crosby, Stills, & Nash, Girl Named Tom got all four coaches on The Voice to turn for them.
Both Kelly and Blake turned for Kinsey Rose, but Kelly used a "block" on Blake, which meant that Kinsey defaulted to Team Kelly. The 35-year-old singer auditioned with a performance of The Chicks' "Cowboy Take Me Away".
From Reno, NV, Carolina Alonso is another great contestant who's currently on Team Kelly. She sang in Spanish to José José's "El Triste" and blew Kelly away with her powerhouse vocals.
After singing "POV" by Ariana Grande during her Blind Audition, Gymani also got all four coaches to turn their chairs around for her. In the end, Gymani chose Kelly to be her coach.
Jeremy Rosado auditioned with the Rascal Flatts' "Here Comes Goodbye". Both Kelly and Blake turned for Jeremy, but he ultimately chose to join Team Kelly.
30-year-old Holly Forbes also got the four coaches on The Voice season 21 to turn around for her. In fact, Holly's Blind Audition performance of Elton John's "Rocket Man" has gone viral and is currently close to reaching 2 million views.
At just 14 and 15 years old, The Cunningham Sisters amazed Kelly and John with their performance of Tori Kelly's "Never Alone". Alas, the sisters chose to join Team Kelly.
Singing "Can You Stand The Rain" by New Edition, Jershika Maple also got Kelly and John to turn for her. Ultimately, Jershika picked Kelly as her coach.
Also featured on Team Kelly is Xavier Cornell, who performed Katy Perry's no. 1 hit "Teenage Dream" during his Blind Audition. Kelly was the only coach who turned for Xavier, so he defaulted to her team.
Kelly and Ariana wanted Wyatt Michael in their respective teams, but he decided to go with Team Kelly. During his audition, Wyatt sang "Mack The Knife" by Kurt Weill.
Another four-chair turn was given to Aaron Hines, who performed "Heartbreak Anniversary" by Giveon. Despite all of those options, Aaron felt like Kelly would be the best coach for him.
Parker McKay defaulted to Team Kelly after all the other teams were already completely filled up. Alas, Parker did a fantastic job during his performance of Niall Horan's "Slow Hands".
The Voice season 21 airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m. ET/PT on NBC.
