In a memorizing performance of Ariana Grande’s ‘pov’, the two performed effortlessly, making the decision for Clarkson’s replacement judge harder than anticipated.
In the early release clip published by NBC on YouTube today, much of the coaches’ praise was towards Ryleigh, with Nick Jonas saying: “As a songwriter, you’re the kind of artist that I’d die to write songs for, to write with.”
“I would say that you’ve got the hardest job here today,” he told Kelsea.
Kelsea Calls Kelly Clarkson For Help
After the performance, replacement coach, Kelesa couldn’t chose between either contestant and decided to call Kelly Clarkson for help.
Clarkson told Kelsea during the short phone call: “Either way you go, it’s great. You should feel safe picking whoever, ’cause I don’t think either of them are going home.”

Why Is Kelly Clarkson Not On The Voice?
We don’t know much about why Clarkson won’t appear on the first episode of The Voice’s battle rounds other than she was feeling under the weather. According to reports, the coach was ill during the tapings which took place back in January of this year.
Clarkson confirmed the rumours, tweeting: “Thank you so much [Kelsea Ballerini] for sitting in for me while I was feeling under the weather! I know my team is in great hands with you!! Y’all aren’t going to want to miss this!! The battles start next week on [The Voice]! #TeamKelly #TheVoice.”
