Jennifer Hudson has started a trend.
On Tuesday’s premiere of The Voice, the 36-year-old Grammy and Oscar winner kicked off her first season as a coach by giving the show one of its most memorable moments in 13 seasons. Moved by contestant Chris Weaver’s version of “Try a Little Tenderness,” Hudson took off a shoe and threw it right at the stage.
“Where I come from, that’s a compliment,” Hudson said on the show. “And we know at times when you sing like that, you better be prepared to what? Duck.”

Last night was The Voice season 13 premiere, and musically this looks like it’s going to be a good one. As for the new coaching dynamic…at least it’s not distracting from music. I’m not sure about the throwing of things though. Every newbie has their learning curve. The first blind audition of The Voice season 13 premiere was released as a sneak peek.

Monday’s return of “The Voice” for Season 13 began with fireworks right away. All four coaches — Miley Cyrus, Jennifer Hudson, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton — had a four-chair turn for Chris Weaver at the every beginning of the show as he belted out the Otis Redding tune “Try a Little Tenderness.” NBC’s Emmy-winning […]...

Suggesting superstitiously that Season 13 of The Voice would be unlucky was a silly gimmick, I thought — until in the premiere, the coaches all passed on my two favorite contestants of the night: Xaris, a teenage folk singer who’s as much of a gem as Jewel, and Odiseas, who returned from his Season 3 tryout with enough star power to light up a constellation. But it was still nice to have Miley Cyrus back on the panel — and not to have to listen to Gwen Stefani pitching female vocalists on joining her team with compelling arguments like, “You’re a girl,...

If the talent auditioning for The Voice season 13 stays at the level of this first blind audition, they might want to offer the contestants hard hats. Why? Because, as new coach Jennifer Hudson demonstrates during this sneak peek at the first blind audition of the season, when she's faced with staggering singing, she can't help but throw things. Including her fellow coaches' shoes. When Chris Weaver finishes his incredible performance of "Try a Little Tenderness," which earns him the coveted four-chair turn, the Oscar-winning diva turns to returning coach Miley Cyrus and demands she hand over her shoe. Little does she know this isn't the first time she's been moved in such a way by the...
