Welcoming Nick to The Voice
Fellow judges of the show welcome Nick to the family. In the video revealed on “The Ellen DeGeneres Show”, Blake said:
“Nick Jonas! How are you doing, buddy? I heard that you’re going to be a new coach on The Voice and I wanted to, first of all, say congratulations, I guess. But second of all, I wanted to voice some concerns that I have. I’m going to have to look through the rules because this is my TV show. I’m not even sure if you’re old enough to be a coach on The Voice, but I’m certain that you’re going to get your butt kicked buddy.”
Kelly Clarkson says she and Jonas should team up.
“I just want to say congratulations. I do definitely feel like the two Texans should maybe team up and form an alliance, I’m just saying.”
Meanwhile, John Legend also wants Nick to help him beat Blake.
“Our mission is to destroy Blake Shelton. We have to form an alliance — me, you, Kelly. We team up, we beat Blake, nothing else matters. Deal? See you soon.”

“As a member of one of the hottest pop groups, Nick’s success in navigating all aspects of the music industry is exceptional, We were so impressed by his innate musicality, technical aptitude, and passion that he brought to Songland earlier this year and know he will be an incredible fit as a coach on The Voice. We are excited to see Nick lend his mentorship, relatability, and breadth of knowledge to a new crop of artists.”
