KELLY'S CALLING IT QUITS

The popular coach is weighing up her options after some harsh backlash

As the show’s popular Blind Auditions come to a close for 2020, fans have raved about the skilled group of performers in this season’s line-up. But next season could look very different, as Woman’s Day hears whispers that longstanding coach Kelly Rowland is determined to make the ninth season her last!

“Kelly is in hot demand all over the world, so it’s hard anchoring herself to a show like this,” says a source. “She’s had a fantastic run, scooped up a winner and is in love with Australia, but she’s ready to move on,” explains the insider.

This year, the mother-of-one, 39, has had a bumpy ride with fans and her fellow coaches alike. Viewers have not held back, accusing the Destiny’s Child hitmaker of being “unauthentic” and “generic” when it comes to her pitching for contestants on the show.

“I think it’s Kelly’s last season, she’s become a real pain,” wrote one disgruntled viewer. “Kelly has the most generic, unauthentic pitches. Like a boyfriend we’ve all had that says, ‘You’re the only girl I’ve ever loved’,” joked another unimpressed fan.

Others have flocked to social media begging Kelly to be more transparent when it comes to explaining why she doesn’t turn around for performers.
