Primetime's newest singing competition, ABC's Duets, premiered Thursday with the show's four mentors – Clarkson", John Legend, Jennifer Nettles and Robin Thicke – taking the stage to perform one of their own songs with each of their two protégés.
Clarkson quickly found herself the underdog. The former American Idol winner's teammates, Jordan Meredith and Jason Farol, claimed the bottom two spots based on scores from the other coaches after their renditions of Clarkson's "Stronger" and "Breaking Your Own Heart," respectively.
One of Nettles's contestants, J Rome, took the top spot after his duet with Nettles on Sugarland's "Tonight."

Shortly after depositing his sappy wish in the Love Clock at the Greenbrier in W.Va., Joe Gendreau's time to impress The Bachelorette's Emily Maynard had run out.
Reflecting on his short stint and love non-connection during a conference call from Orlando, the quality control advisor, 27, had this to say.
That date rose just sits and stares at you. Did it affect your game plan or stress you out?
I tried to keep the rose out of mind. I didn't want to look at it as a challenge and be like, "I really want that rose." I wanted to see how my time was with her and entertain the idea of being able to hit it off with her. It was a great time. I thought it was going well, but ultimately didn't work out.
