Christina Aguilera Gets Her Job Back At The Voice

I think Christina Aguilera is a very lucky person. Very lucky. After one year off from The Voice she is getting her job back as she and Cee Lo will return and Usher and Shakira will be shown the door. When the news broke that Christina wanted out, she probably thought she was going to be huge again as a singer and didn't need the show. I think she finally came to the conclusion that the only reason she has had some success with her last few songs is because of the show. Plus, it is easy and she picks up a huge paycheck and was probably regretting her decision almost as soon as she made it. Christina also managed to talk the producers into a $2M raise from $10M to $12M. Don't believe the $17M rumors. If she asked for that much, she would still be waiting for a call back.

I'm kind of sad about this, I've been loving Shakira on the Voice

I think her problem is her brand, she never really found her niche.
Christina wants to be seen as young and sexy, but she's got too much competition for that market.
Her voice is too big for pop, she is wasting her talent on songs that no one will remember in 5 years.
She should adopt a more timeless look and sound, focus more on being a true diva. She has a great voice for soul.

So much WORD, Sarah. I love Christina Aguilera. Highly under-rated as a talent. I know if I am to believe the blinds on here she is shitty as a person. But based solely on her singing abilities, she is AMAZING.

Why? As talented as she is, she is an obnoxious drunk, who thinks her shit doesn't stink.

Oh my god. As its been reported a BILLION TIMES. She and Cee-Lo didn't have to ask for their job back- they were always coming back! It was said early last fall by Mark Burnett that they would sit out season 4 and come back for 5. Stop painting this image of a woman desperate for her job back. It never went anywhere!

So what happened to her whole " dear record label, you're dealing with a fat girl & get over it" mantra? Didn't she say that in every interview for a year?

I love Shakira on The Voice, also like Usher far better than CeeLo. It seems like a step back for them to have CeeLo in that chair again.

Exactly, Andrew. The Voice has always said the original four have permanent jobs if they want the, but could take a break.

@Sarah, her Back to Basics album was exactly that, but she had to fight with the label to get it made, from what I understand. It's fantastic, if not a huge commercial success.

@Andrew: I agree. What is up with these posts recently? Crap info IMO.

Shakira and Usher have done so much better than Christina and Cee lo. They give constructive criticism to their teams and play well with the other judges. This is the only season I could stand it. Cee lo makes me want to get a penicillin shot.

I am shocked by how charmed I am with Shakira, and how much I like Usher on this show.

But now that they are hitting the top 12, I am starting to miss Xtina's sharper comments. Some of them really could have used them last night.

The current panel which I do like, are a wee bit too much roses and rainbows. Somehow they have all kinda morphed into Paula Abdul territory.

Now if we could mash up Shakira and Usher with Xtina, we would have the perfect judge!

I was so hoping they would keep Shakira and Usher. I've really loved the show this year with them!

Shakira had done a good job this season. Usher has been hit or miss and was he high last night or what?

Have seen the Voice a couple of times, dont like it. I can not stand Carson Daly, hes only grown worse with time. Thats one thing AI spoilt me for, throwing Sparkles at me. :-) I did like Usher and Shakira on there though. Aguilera I am beyond sick of, and wasnt Cee Lo accused of rape or something?

Yes, @Andrew, this was the original arrangement. I remember it being described as a break, or that Christina and CeeLo were just taking a year off to focus on other projects. I expected them back next year, though I'm not happy about it where Christina is concerned. Shakira seems MUCH nicer.

While I really like Shakira as a person on The Voice, I don't know if she is turning out to be a very good coach--her song picks have been really bad so far and I'm not sure she is really into the strategy the other coaches use to win.

For Usher I feel the opposite--on the shows, I don't really care for him--but he's been a really good coach--he doesn't have the best team--he and Shakira pretty much got people Adam and Blake didn't want--but he's done a really good job with the people he got.

I was just thinking last night how I don't miss Christina and how snotty she could be to people who were not on her team. I do like CeeLo but I don't think he really enjoyed being on the last season so I didn't think he'd be back.

Maybe they will rotate judges in if they keep doing The Voice 2 seasons a year so they can tour and do other things one season and be on the show the other.

I think Shakira is taking a break because she just had a son and wants to spend some time with him. I don't really care for Xtina apart from her voice.
