Don't worry -- Sugarland isn't breaking up anytime soon, but lead singer Jennifer Nettles is looking for a new duet partner. It's all part of ABC's upcoming reality competition show, "Duets." The vocal powerhouse joins Kelly Clarkson, Lionel Richie and Robin Thicke as the four celebrity recording artists who will search the country for aspiring singers, recruiting them for the program. The show is set to air on Thursdays, starting May 24, with the celebrities pairing each week with a different protegé for a televised duet.
"I am most excited by the opportunity to perform WITH the contestants," Jennifer writes on her blog. "And, selfishly, while I know the premise is for the contestants to have the opportunity to gain experience and knowledge by performing with the artists, I know that there will be so much for me to learn from my fellow artists on the show as well (and probably from the contestants too)."
Watch a preview of "Duets" here, and check out the two videos below, which show Jennifer auditioning duet partners.
Jennifer you rock! I finally have a show to look forward to watch each week. I first saw you open up for Kenney Chesney in Tampa Fl and I remember you didn't wear shoes! Can't wait for your next album but enjoy all your music!!
Well, I hope she hasn't chosen these two just yet. I don't really think Brandon is the best, James is better, but his tone doesn't really match hers yet, and he looks awkward, probably just nerves though. I wish it could be me, but I am so not prepared enough for this season maybe next though.
I can't wait for the show! I love Jennifer's, Kelly's and Lionel's voices. I've never heard of Robin before. Lionel and Jennifer were great on his special.
