Kelly spoke about how “excited” she was to appear on the show as a mentor when she got a call. “I just remember being 16 years old auditioning for this very show.

You got to do it wrong a thousand times,” he added. In a newly released clip, the singer can be seen giving contestant Odell Bunto Jr. some advice by asking him to “let loose” and give it his all.
