NEW YORK, Nov. 14 (UPI) -- Michael Bolton, Patti LaBelle, Nick Lachey, Kelly Rowland and Blake Shelton are set to compete on the new U.S. reality show "Clash of the Choirs."
The series is slated to premiere Dec. 17 and will air live over four consecutive nights from New York.
In it, the five entertainers will return to their respective hometowns to discover, nurture and direct dynamic groups of musically gifted, but amateur singers, NBC said in a statement.
After assembling and rehearsing their singers, the choirs will fly to New York where they will perform live on stage in a musical "sing off" competition as America watches and judges from home.
The winning choir, along with the hometown celebrity musician, will choose a prize to help their community -- anything from renovating a school gym to constructing a new neighborhood playground.
NBC said it will announce a host for the show shortly.
