Duets Premiere: Kelly Clarkson Debuts Smaller Figure & Low Scores

Duets Premiere: Kelly Clarkson Debuts Smaller Figure & Low Scores053512_kelly_clarksonOn this fun new reality show, Kelly Clarkson, John Legend, Jennifer Nettles, and Robin Thicke search for Americas next music protg!

Unlike all of our other favorite music competitions, Duets showcases a different twist and that is the element of performing every week with your superstar partner. On the season premiere we watched Kelly Clarkson, 30, John Legend, 33, Jennifer Nettles, 37, and Robin Thicke, 34, search across America to find TWO duet partners! Jennifer, lead vocalist of Sugarland, and partner J Rome kicked off the show with a rockin performance of her hit song Tonight, setting the bar high for the seven other contestants.

After each amateur and their superstar partner performed, the three other judges sitting in the superstar lounge entered a secret score between 1-100 to rank the performance. Jennifers partner J Rome took home the highest rankings, while both Kellys partners ranked in the bottom two slots! (Big shocker from our pop princess Kelly, who looked absolutely fabulous!)

This one of a kind singing competition takes the judges out from behind the panel and onto the stage, in hopes to find a unique and special talent deserving of the ultimate prizea Hollywood Records contract!

The good news, Hollywoodlifers, is that the contestants have two weeks to prove themselves before eliminations begin. With host Quddus announcing the show, and a combination ! of Kelly s charm, Jennifers enthusiasm, Johns smoothness and Robins passion we are sure that these superstars will find the ultimate amateur to take over the charts.
