Blake Shelton has announced his departure from The Voice after its upcoming Season 23, and fellow coach John Legend has some thoughts on who he'd like to see replace him moving forward.
"I think it should be someone in country," Legends tells NBC. "We've never had another country coach before because it's only been Blake, so I could see Carrie Underwood doing it," he says, adding, "She's in the NBC family. She sings on our Sunday Night Football broadcasts every Sunday. She could be good. Just an idea, Carrie!"
Season 23 of The Voice is slated to feature Shelton, Kelly Clarkson, Niall Horan and Chance the Rapper as coaches.
Underwood launched her career by winning American Idol in 2005, so while it would appear an odd move for her to chair "The Voice", it would not be unprecedented; Clarkson also began her career by winning "American Idol" before accepting a recurring role as a coach on "The Voice".
