“The Voice” announces new judges for season 22
The 22nd season of The Voice is expected to see some new (and old) faces on the judge’s chairs.
The official Twitter account for the show announced that Camila Cabello will be replacing 8-season judge Kelly Clarkson.
It is completely understandable that Clarkson is leaving; She is the host with Snoop Dogg of the new song competition show on NBC called American Song Contest. She also has her own successful daytime talk show, The Kelly Clarkson Show. Clarkson was also the coach of last year’s winner, Girl Named Tom.
Fans will remember that Camila Cabello lent her expertise to The Voice in Season 21 when she served as the Battle Round advisor for John Legend's team. Cabello also has past experience with a reality singing competition, considering she first struck fame in theThe X Factor, where she was part of the girl group Fifth Harmony before she left in 2016.
Gwen Stefani, who is married to judge Blake Shelton, is returning after being replaced for one season by Ariana Grande.
The Voice has yet to reveal when it will return for Season 22, but fans can expect to see it hitting the NBC schedule later this year, with episodes available to stream next day for those with Hulu subscriptions.
