Blake Shelton gave Kelly Clarkson a low blow in Tuesday night’s episode of “The Voice”, claiming that she is too busy to train a competitor.
When contestant Gean Garcia, 19, was in contention during the second part of the blind auditions, Shelton blocked newcomer Nick Jonas, who replaced Gwen Stefani in season 20. He then tried to undermine Clarkson’s skills by joking that she “doesn’t really have time. for that “while presenting his award-winning daytime talk show,” The Kelly Clarkson Show. “
Shelton further claimed that Clarkson “has completely moved to Hollywood now,” according to USA Today, adding that she “forgot her roots”.
Unfortunately for Shelton, Clarkson had some jokes of his own.

“I have time to do everything and get it right at the same time,” Clarkson fired at the country star.
She added that it is “ironic” that Shelton was “trying to serve us on a Hollywood plate”, considering that he “is always on the covers of magazines and is dating Gwen Stefani”.
Of course, it was all good fun, and Garcia ended up choosing Clarkson.
Clarkson’s defense that she can do anything may sound true. The former “American Idol” TV presenter recently revealed that she wrote 60 new songs amid her husband’s divorce, Brandon Blackstock.
The “Since U Been Gone” singer, 38, filed for divorce from Blackstock in June 2020, after almost seven years of marriage, citing “irreconcilable differences”. The ex-couple shares two children.

“And Gwen in a moment said, ‘Wait a minute, did I answer you? Did I say yes out loud? ‘ And even I was wondering, “Shelton recalled, noting that Kingston later intervened for confirmation.” And Kingston said, ‘Mom, yes, you did. I heard you say ‘Yes’, you said. “
Jonas, who also attended virtually the interview, revealed that his wife Priyanka Chopra took 45 seconds to respond to his proposal. When interviewer Kit Hoover mentioned that Stefani could potentially have broken the record, Shelton said “she could”.
“45 seconds … it’s a long time after that question,” continued Shelton. “This is brutal, Nick, I’m sorry about that.”
