Last time we heard anything about Christina Aguilera on The Voice, she was driving everyone on the show bonkers, demanding reshoots because she looked “fat” and Adam Levine was going slowly insane. Well, now she and Cee Lo Green will take a break for the spring edition (2013) of The Voice, and will be replaced by Usher and Shakira. Entertainment Weekly reports …
The NBC reality hit has hired R&B singer Usher and Latin singer Shakira as “coaches” for the upcoming spring edition of the series. They’ll replace Cee Lo Green and Christina Aguilera, who are expected to return to the show next fall. The new additions are part of a plan by NBC and producers to develop an ongoing tent of talent for The Voice that can be mixed and matched as needed. Given the judges’ level of success and tour schedules, it’s difficult to have any of them appear on the show all season now that NBC has decided to run the series in the fall and spring.
