In thenew EW cover story, on stands Friday, Clarkson admits that anIdolcomeback might be premature.
But Clarkson says her decision to joinThe Voicereally came down to her husband and her kids.
The chance to work alongside her husband was an offer she couldn’t pass up.
“We have four children that can be very taxing with a schedule.
It was just a no-brainer for me withThe Voicebecause of that alone.
But my thing is, I was kind of bummed too when [Idol] came to me.
I hope it’s super successful.”
“I knew it was going to happen.
I’m a little superstitious.”
In recent years, TV talent competitions have struggled to produce stars at Clarkson’s level.
“But that doesn’t mean I can’t do the same thing onThe Voice.
That’s my goal.
Her willingness to do the work and make the sacrifices that longevity requires.
“That is not going to bring you happiness.
I don’t really care about being famous.
I’m not trying to impress anyone.
I’m just me, and if you like that, cool.
If you don’t, that’s totally cool too.”
