On Monday night, The Voice Season 14 premiered on NBC with an all new coach: Kelly Clarkson.

In her debut, the original American Idol winner used her singing competition show experience to her advantage, convincing contestants to join her team for that very reason.

Joining existing Voice coaches Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, and Alicia Keys in the red chairs for blind auditions, she made quite the impression. The show also introduced a new feature—the block button—which allows one coach to prevent another from gaining a team member. “I feel like you all invented that because I’m coming,” Clarkson noted, pointing out that the other coaches may have been intimidated by her.

Clarkson didn’t directly refer to Idol, but she did stress to one of the contestants her strengths when it comes to competition. “I know Blake has won a lot and I’m the rookie, but I’m just saying, I have won a competition.”
