‘The Voice’ powerhouse coaches go head to head singing songs from Whitney Houston, Celine Dion, Britney Spears, Shania Twain and Cher

Ariana Grande and Kelly Clarkson, two coaches on The Voice this season, enter a battle round of their own as guests on the special preview of Jimmy Fallon’s That’s My Jam, an hour-long music and comedy variety game show premiering on January 3rd on NBC.

The pair is selected to go head-to-head in a mixtape medley showdown. Fallon spins the wheel of genres and categories from which the singers are tasked with performing, which fittingly lands on pop divas.

Grande kicks off with a choreographed-from-memory run of Britney Spears’ “Oops!… I Did It Again” while Clarkson follows after with “Any Man of Mine” from the country-twanged singer Shania Twain. The rest of their faceoff set features songs from Whitney Houston, Celine Dion and Cher.

By the end, Clarkson and John Legend are crowned the winners of the night while their opposing team, Grande and Blake Shelton, slot into second place.

But on The Voice, it’s still every man and woman for themselves as the singing competition continues its live rounds. Grande is the latest addition to the team of coaches, while the other three have been together for six seasons.

“We’ve never had a coach like her,” Clarkson told Fallon of Grande earlier this year. “In all my seasons, I’ve never heard a coach talk about vocal health as much. And I’m like, ‘I guess we should have mentioned that.’ We are all vocalists. Like, no one’s ever really mentioned it, and she’s really into it, so it’s cool. And everybody vibes so well.”

Skrilla is clearly leaning further into the lane that made “Doot Doot (6 7)” take off, and his new song and music video “RYLO” makes that direction obvious. The mood mirrors that same shadowy energy, built around somber piano lines, light but tense percussion, and added layers of strings and laser like effects that heighten the atmosphere. The track nods to fellow MC Rylo Rodriguez, matching his presence with gritty street scenes, money driven boasts, and sharp, cinematic details throughout the verses.

There is a long instrumental stretch before the final hook that slightly slows the pacing, taking away some of the track’s drive. Still, fans of the Philly rapper will likely find plenty to enjoy here, while those who were not sold on his earlier work probably will not be converted by this release. As Skrilla’s visibility continues to grow and edges closer to oversaturation, it will be interesting to see whether he expands his sound or stays locked into this formula. That answer may come on his next album, which he teased in the video description under the title The Face Of Zombie Land.

Quotable Lyrics from RYLO

Crashing out with all my crashouts,
I just snorted a 30 milligram, hope I don't pass out,
Why the f**k these n***as keep on acting like thеy crashouts?
Riding around, four choppers, and I'm dolo-ing the fast route
