Maroon 5 praise Kelly Clarkson as they discuss new tour: 'What a freakin' voice'

'Payphone' hitmakers Maroon 5 are about to head out on tour across America with Kelly Clarkson and member James Valentine expressed his admiration for the former 'American Idol' winner.

Speaking to Billboard.com about the Honda Civic Tour and Clarkson in particular, he praised her as one of the 'greatest performers of our time':

"I think it's gonna be a great show. I mean, Kelly is one of the greatest performers of our time. Think about how long she's been around now. What a freakin' voice. It's going to be awesome to go on after her every night, 'cause that's gonna really force us to bring it."

"When there's a great performer in front of us it kinda lights a fire under our ass. I know we had that on this last (North American) run with Neon Trees; Tyler Glenn was out there doing his full Freddie Mercury, and I think it pushed Adam to reach deeper every night. I know Kelly will force that, too."
