Michael Bolton, Patti
LaBelle, Nick Lachey, Kelly Rowland and Blake Shelton have
joined the lineup of NBC's talent competition "Clash of the
Choirs," which will air December 17-20 live from New York.
The celebrity choirmasters will return to their hometowns
to assemble a choir of 20 amateur singers. After rehearsals,
the choirs will fly to New York to perform live in a musical
"sing-off" competition over four consecutive nights. Viewers
will vote one choir off the show each night.
In addition to training their pupils for their stage
numbers, the celebrities will critique the performances, along
with a music expert.
The winning choir, along with the hometown celebrity
musician, will choose a prize to help their community --
anything from renovating a school gym to building a new
neighborhood playground.
Bolton will go back to New Haven, Conn., LaBelle to
Philadelphia, Lachey to Cincinnati, Rowland to Houston and
Shelton to Oklahoma City.
