(NBC) — “The Voice” returned for an 18th season Monday night and there’s a new coach joining the ranks. Nick Jonas gets one of the big red chairs.
He joins superstar coaches Kelly Clarkson, John Legend and Blake Shelton on the season premiere of NBC’s four-time Emmy award-winning hit musical competition series.
In the season premiere, the talent was exceptional and the competition fierce as the judges fought to discover and coach the next singing phenomenon in the “Blind Auditions.”
The vocalists compete to be selected by one of the coaches and fight for a chance to be named “The Voice.”
