“We have no chance,” says the Maroon 5 frontman of victory. “She’s the only coach on The Voice that has an Oscar, which I’m super jealous about.”

While the American Idol alum has won an Oscar, a Golden Globe award and two Grammy awards, she reminds this season’s contestants that she began her career on a similar stage in 2004: “I started out just like you on a stage like this, and then later I look up and Whitney Houston is presenting me my first Grammy.”

“I’m grateful to have people that have been my mentors and inspiration, “ reflects the Hairspray Live! star in the video. “And then, here, y’all are going to sing to me and I get to help your dream come true? That’s gold.”

There’s only one thing on Hudson’s mind: “Winning is important to me because the contestants want to win, and I want to win for them.”

Season 13 of The
Voice
premieres on Monday, September 25, at 8/7c on NBC.
