Ariana will replace Nick Jonas on season 21 of The Voice, and Blake Shelton ‘isn’t worried about Ariana coming for the Voice crown,’ “I’m excited about Ariana joining the show because it’s somebody new for me to beat.  I’m tired of beating John every season — and Nick.”  Blake also shared, “The easiest defeat of my career was Nick Jonas, so I’m looking for a challenge. I think Ariana could be a challenge. I’m looking forward to beating her though.”

 

Blake continued, “Part of the charm of the show is that we keep things exciting and bring different coaches on that will add a new flavor to the mix.  Ariana is one of the most gifted artists in our business today. She is a huge, chart-topping artist with amazing vocal skills. I think so many of our fans out there truly love her, and I think she’s going to bring additional fans to the show, a different audience to the show, and I think it’s going to be great for all of us.  What we’ve learned is that our audience likes some stability with coaches, but I think it also likes for us to introduce some new flavors to the mix every once in a while,” he added. “I think Ariana is going to be a great addition.”

And when Nick was asked if he had any coaching advice for Ariana. he said, “Ariana clearly doesn’t need my advice.  She’s an incredible artist and, I think, our generation’s best vocalist.  She’s got such an incredible career to pull from to inspire these artists she’s going to work with. I’m so excited to see her beat Blake. It’s going to be great for me.”
