Maybe “The Voice” coaches should officially form an a cappella group. We guess Jimmy Fallon and The Roots can be the backing “band” on tour.
Kelly Clarkson, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton performed a few of their hit songs sans music on Monday’s “Tonight Show,” where Shelton told the NBC late-night host to kiss his “country ass.”
Oh, and “Voice” host Carson Daly was there pretty much just to clap along. Moral support, we guess.

From the Oscars to the Emmys and everything toward the top, TheWrap ranked the 18 most-watched broadcast-television entertainment specials of 2018.
Thanks to "Jesus Christ Superstar Live," we've got a musical on the list again this year.
