duets

In 2012, Lionel Richie took a big chance, going against his traditional audience and releasing Tuskegee, an album featuring duets of his hits sung with some of country's biggest stars

Jennifer Nettles’ and Kelly Clarkson‘s opening performance of the Eurythmic’s classic ‘Would I Lie to You’ during tonight’s episode of ‘Duets’ was a rather fitting pairing — considering the season finale was a battle of the blonds, with the two leading ladies’ teams accounting for the final three contestants. Despite Clarkson’s impressive showing with Jason Farol and Team Jennifer’s consistency wi

Sugarland singer Jennifer Nettles is expecting her first child. Despite having a bun in the oven, the singer is still pulling double duty by playing shows and serving as a superstar mentor on the reality singing show ‘Duets.’ Nettles has had to perform twice every week, since she has always had two horses in the race in the form of J Rome and John Glosson, effectively doubling her chances of “winn

“I felt like a stage mom all night,” gushed Jennifer Nettles following the final solo performances during tonight’s ‘Duets’ episode. The Sugarland lead singer’s elation is well-deserved, considering her two proteges managed to land in the Top 3 after Bridget Carrington got the boot early in the episode.

“It is all on the line this week, so we have to bring it,” John Glosson said of his ‘Duets‘ performances this evening. With the pressure of next week’s finale looming over his head, the young singer decided to stay within his comfort zone this week with his duet with Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles, performing the gorgeous Andrea Bocelli and Celine Dion classic ‘The Prayer.’

“I don’t want America to think I wasn’t ready,” said ‘Duets‘ contestant J Rome just before taking the stage with Jennifer Nettles for the first perform of tonight’s live episode of the popular reality competition show. “I don’t want them to say the pressure was on and he didn’t deliver.”

Country music’s resident mentor Jennifer Nettles and soul singer Robin Thicke kicked off week 7 of ‘Duets’ competition with their jazzy rendition of the 1980 Queen rock classic ‘Crazy Little Thing About Love,’ setting the bar high for a night of live Standards performances from the remaining four hopefuls.

“It’s one of the best songs written in the millennium,” confessed ‘Duets‘ celebrity mentor Robin Thicke just before taking the stage with hopeful Olivia Chisholm to perform Lady Antebellum‘s monster hit ‘Need You Now.’ With the competition down to only five hopefuls, was the country song the best choice for the two soft-voiced soul singers?

After a fifth consecutive week at the top of the scoreboard, expectations certainly ran high for Jennifer Nettles and protege J Rome to deliver another flawless performance during Week 6 of the ‘Duets‘ competition. Did the clear frontrunner of the series step it up during the first live episode of the season with a performance of ‘Without You’ by R&B superstar Usher and famed DJ David Guetta?

If America loves J Rome and John Glosson as much as the other three judges on ABC’s ‘Duets,’ Jennifer Nettles will be the second country singer in three months to win a major reality television singing competition. Both men made it look easy on Wednesday night, singing songs from the movies.

For J Rome, it was all about hitting one note. One big, incredibly high note that his idol Whitney Houston made look easy when she sang ‘I Will Always Love You.’ Jennifer Nettles’ second partner on ‘Duets’ was nervous before beginning his performance on Wednesday night, but the result was familiar.

Contestants on Wednesday night’s episode of ‘Duets’ were tasked with singing songs from the movies. John Glosson and Sugarland‘s Jennifer Nettles kicked off the show with a inspirational performance of Celine Dion‘s ‘My Heart Will Go On’ that left the other three judges speechless.
