Jennifer Headlines New Music Competition “Duets” Premiering This Summer

Thu, Mar 8, 2012 at 6:40 AM

It was announced today that ABC will launch a brand new music competition, “Duets,” starring Jennifer Nettles, Kelly Clarkson, Lionel Richie and Robin Thicke.

“Duets” will take Jennifer, Kelly, Lionel and Robin out of the judges panel and onto the stage. They will each choose two singers to be their duet partners. Together, they will take the stage with their duet partner each week and perform in front of a live studio audience.

At the end, only one duet will be at the top of the charts and the winning amateur will receive a recording contract with Hollywood Records. Look for "Duets" to premiere this summer!

If you are interested in auditioning, apply online at www.ABC.com/casting.

    Jennifer, could you PLEASE wait about 3 more years for me??? You have NO idea how sad it makes me to see one of my ultimate fantasies come to life, and yet slip past me at the same time (my other is also Jennifer -and Kristian- related). Please, could you do that for your most obsessed fan?? PLEASE???

  1. The latest episode of the 'In Your Hands Rewind' series is here, and of course we saved the machine for last. Watch Sugarland perform a LIVE version of 'Incredible Machine' from our 2012 "In Your Hands" tour.

     

    Buy the complete album of 'Incredible Machine' here.

     

  2. Take another look into the 2012 "In Your Hands" Tour with our very own Kristian Bush. In this video Kristian performs a special rendition of Bruce Springsteen's 'Atlantic City' by putting his own Sugarland spin on the classic song.

     

    'Atlantic City' has been covered by great acts such as The Band, Eddie Vedder from Pearl Jam, and Counting Crows. At the Sugarland shows, this one is always a crowd favorite, always a highlight of the night and simultaneously one of Kristian's most beloved moments on stage each and every show. Watch the video below and find out why! 

     

  3. It's a new year and a new day! With everything changing, the only place to go is onwards and upwards. In Kristian's words below he resolves to "dream bigger."

     

    Find out what other plans are in store for Kristian in 2013 in his New Year's Resolutions after the jump!

     

  4. The Holidays really are Jennifer & Kristian's favorite time of the year, and we want to share their well wishes with you in the video below!

     

    Here's to hoping we all were on Santa's nice list, and that the year 2013 is filled with more joy, love and laughter than the ones before. Happy Holidays!

     

  5. Last week we brought you one step closer to being onstage, and today we're taking you by the hand and showing you what it's like to be backstage before the show even begins.

     

    Travel back in time with us to the 'In Your Hands' show in Atlanta, GA and watch as Jennifer, Kristian and ABC's Duets' John Glosson practice the fan favorite and one of the highest requested singles of the tour - 'Stay'.
