The stars of The Voice are throwing it back to the Rat Pack
Alicia Keys, Blake Shelton, Kelly Clarkson and Adam Levine have teamed up for a stylish new promo clip featuring the singers taking on retro classics in a throwback nightclub setting
The stylized black & white video opens with Levine and Shelton trading onstage banter at the Las Vegas Sands Casino before launching into a spirited take on jazz standard “Fly Me to the Moon,” best known as performed by Frank Sinatra.
Clarkson and Keys are seen enjoying the show in the audience before Levine welcomes them to the stage. The pair team up for a sultry rendition of Nina Simone‘s “Feeling Good.”
On Facebook, Johnny Bliss describes himself as “an up and coming salsa/rock/pop and R&B artist.”
Born and raised in New York City, he said his influences include Bruno Mars and Marc Anthony.
He’s been through this type of competition before. In 2016, he participated in the Univision singing show “Va Por Tí.” You can watch his performances on his YouTube channel.
Most of his YouTube videos feature Johnny singing in Spanish, but he does include an English cover of Rihanna’s “Take a Bow.”
He also performs as a comedian and motivational speaker, according to his Facebook page.

~Dolly Parton Joins Miley Cyrus, Pentatonix In ‘Jolene’ Cover~
On Tuesday night’s, Novermber 29, star-studded episode of “The Voice,” country music legend Dolly Parton joined Miley Cyrus and band Pentatonix on stage for an a-capella performance of Parton’s 1973 song “Jolene”.
Clad in black and silver, Parton took center stage as she stood next to goddaughter Cyrus on the arced stage. Both have previously performed the song together, most notably at the 25th anniversary of Dollywood in 2010.
Pentatonix released a recording of the song in September, with Parton herself featured on the record. The band also performed the song with singer-songwriter Jennifer Nettles at the 2016 Country Music Awards earlier this month, as a tribute to the famed singer.
I received my copy in the mail yesterday. And I ordered the “Deluxe CD” which has several other duets she’s done before. My treat …. Her voice continues to be impeccable. The choice of songs and partners is excellent.
I was particularly touched by the one with her son Jason Gould.
In her own words:
“Hearing the news that “Partners” entered the charts at #1 was an overwhelming feeling of joy!!
Being told that I’ve had #1 albums in six consecutive decades makes me feel truly blessed and grateful to have such loyal fans. I feel you rooting for me and I so appreciate all of your energy and support.
It’s especially sweet since I get to share this moment with my wonderfully talented partners who I had the pleasure of singing with: Michael Bublé, Stevie Wonder, John Mayer, Babyface, Billy Joel, Blake Shelton, Lionel Richie, Andrea Bocelli, John Legend, Josh Groban, my beloved son Jason Gould…and last but not least, Elvis Presley…forever The King!
Finally, thank you to Rob Stringer and my Columbia Records family, my manager Marty Erlichman, my creative team on this project – Kenny Edmonds, Walter Afanasieff, Dave Reitzas, Bill Ross, and Jay Landers…and Ken Sunshine for getting the word out… we did it guys!!
With lots of love, Barbra“
