Mariah Carey made the exciting announcement during her guest appearance on NBC's "Today Show" last Tuesday, Oct. 23. She will bring her vast songwriting, singing and over-all performance knowledge to coaches Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Kelly Clarkson and Jennifer Hudson's teams during the knockout rounds.
"The sessions with the contestants, some of them have completely blown me away," Mariah Carey said when asked about working with the fresh new talent, as quoted by Entertainment Tonight. "It's like a humbling experience to be around all the raw talent."
Mariah Carey went on to admit that she sometimes get caught up in her musical world as a singer and said working with up and coming artists gave her the chance to step back a little and appreciate what others are bringing to the table regarding their contributions as artists.
