Having become famous through her participation on a television singing competition, Kelly Clarkson is well aware of what usually happens on those kinds of shows. That’s why, she says, she’s chosen to affiliate herself with The Voice.

If the title of Emilia Clarke’s new movie, Last Christmas, makes you think of the Wham! holiday hit of the same name … well, that’s exactly what it’s supposed to do. Following in the mold of Mamma Mia, the story of Last Christmas is loosely based on the music of George Michael and his ’80s duo.

Through 17 seasons, 15 different coaches, and thousands of contestants, audiences have stuck with The Voice. Why do people love the show so much? For John Legend, a coach now in his second season, there are plenty of reasons, but the simplest one comes down to the fact that, from its name on down, “The Voice” embraces the idea of truth in advertising.(Click on the media bar below to hear John Legend)
