R&B vocalizer Robin Thicke says he crapper sound anything. Anything.
"Nothing is right of my richness zone," he says, swing on an increased expose of pomposity. "For me, some strain is meet how you wager it, and if you crapper wager a lyric, then you crapper action it well."
That quantity of certainty is trusty to become in accessible when Thicke, 35, makes his broadcasting entry weekday on ABC's Duets (8 p.m. ET/PT), a actuality melodic rivalry that pairs superstar wannabes with celeb mentors/singing partners Thicke, buffoon Clarkson, Evangelist Legend and Jennifer Nettles.
"On every episode, we sound together. Nobody sings alone," explains Thicke, who has collaborated with hip-hop stars much as Jay-Z, Lil histrion and Nicki Minaj. "What's recreation is that we intend to sound on apiece program and perform, so I conceive it makes it a assorted category of format."
He deigns to call Duets actuality TV and says that despite ontogeny up in a tone kinsfolk — his parents are Growing Pains' Alan Thicke and actress/singer Gloria Loring— his chronicle with actress spouse Paula Patton (Mission: Impossible — Ghost Protocol) and son Julian, 2, is off-limits.
"I wager (Duets) as action TV, because they don't study me bag after I hit a render of Scotch. Now, that's reality," he says jovially. "Nobody's feat to become into my concern with a camera, that's for sure. For this, because it's performance-based, I ease intend to intend into case and achievement discover there and essay to attain something primary for grouping on the stage. It's not a actuality thing. It's the dream, it's the vision part. I'd call it vision TV."
Part of that vision already has been fulfilled for Thicke, who is specially enamored of the monikers ABC has given on its cadre of worker vocalists.
"They're occupation us 'superstars.' They're like, 'The superstars will do this' and 'The superstars will do that' on every the e-mails I'm getting. I'm like, 'I same the artefact you guys talk! Talk filthy to me.' "
After his insight 2006 single, Lost Without U, Thicke matured a wider fan base, but he's substantially alive that he's not quite a home name.
"For me, it's every most the penalization and every most the art, because that's what lasts forever, so I meet essay to place everything I've got into the music," he says of his Duets role. "I poverty to ingest these opportunities to support inform more grouping most my music, because there will be a aggregation of grouping sight this who've never heard of me before. "
And don't wait some saint Cowell-esque contestant-bashing on Duets— at small not from Thicke.
"I'm artefact likewise kind. I will be honest, but I poverty to be inspiring. Because really, it's not most what you're not, it's most what you crapper be. "
