"Between American Idol, The Voice and The X Factor, I&amp;#x27;m suffering from a very serious condition called Reality TV Singing Competition Overload--and it seems that feeling is only going to get worse. It was announced that a new series, Duets, is going to hit the tube this summer. The amazing Kelly Clarkson is topping the bill--along with Robin Thicke, Lionel Richie and Jennifer Nettles--and I want to be excited but...I&amp;#x27;m not. To be honest, I&amp;#x27;m a little overwhelmed with singing shows right now. There are too many! I used to be exclusive to American Idol, then The Voice came along and those spinning chairs stole my heart (what...is a CHAIR not a good reason to watch?!), and of course I had to check out The X Factor for the reunion of Simon Cowell and Paula Abdul. But it&amp;#x27;s all become a little too much for me, especially now with Idol and The Voice on at the same time. I don&amp;#x27;t want to watch 5 hours of OK singing competitions a week. I want to watch 2 hours of GREAT, kick-butt singing competitions. The new ABC series Duets will have a slightly different set-up than the other shows. Instead of sitting on a panel, the celebrity judges head out on the road each week to search for two singers to be his or her duet partner. Then, the celeb and one of the discoveries will take the stage in front of a studio audience. By the end of the competition, one singer will win a recording contract. I like the judge/protege duet concept because we don&amp;#x27;t often get to hear the celeb judges singing, so that is a fresh new take. And of course there&amp;#x27;s the Kelly factor. People love her. Plus, she was discovered on Idol, so the fact that she&amp;#x27;s now discovering people is a new angle. But I&amp;#x27;m just having a hard time getting jazzed about another singing show. I want to know: What do you think about Duets? Will you watch it? Are you also suffering from Reality TV Singing Competition Overload like I am? Which singing show that&amp;#x27;s currently on the air is your fave? Weigh in below.
