Christina Aguilera NOT Fired From ‘The Voice’

Execs behind hit talent show “The Voice” have slammed rumors they plan to fire Christina Aguilera from the judging panel after the next season. Aguilera is a mentor alongside Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton on the show, which has proved hugely popular and is set to go into a second season next February in a key scheduling slot following the Super Bowl. However, despite all four judges signing on for next season, reports have suggested network chiefs were unhappy with the amount of time Aguilera spent with the acts and wanted a replacement for her if the show goes into a third run.

Christina Aguilera Joins NBC’s ‘The Voice’

NBC’s answer to ‘American Idol‘ has found its’ Paula Abdul: The network has announced that Christina Aguilera will be the third coach on the new singing competition series ‘The Voice,’ joining Cee-Lo Green and Maroon 5′s Adam Levine, with the last fourth coach expected to be named shortly. Will she teach everyone to skip a line in a song?

Per EW:

“I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful project that celebrates music and the talent behind it,” Aguilera said in a statement. “To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists’ careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms. I am so happy to be working with fellow Grammy Award winners Adam and Cee Lo as I feel there is so much we can all bring to The Voice.”

The timing of the announcement could have been better. Aguilera was stopped and arrested early Tuesday morning after police said she was riding in a car while extremely intoxicated. And lets not forget how she flubbed the lyrics to our National Anthem, or when she fell on stage after singing a tribute to Aretha Franklin at this years Grammy Awards. Someone’s gotta coach the contestants on the fine art of oversinging.

The summer singing competition show – hosted by Carson Daly – will premiere April 26, right about the time American Idol will be down to its top 10. The show features the judges choosing to work with contestants based on their voices alone — they’re not allowed to see them first. Once they choose their favorites, they mentor them to stardom, and America will decide which contestant wins a recording contract and a cash prize.

More 2011 Grammy Performers Announced

I cannot wait for this years Grammy Awards. The red carpet, the performances, and the winners!!! Bring it on baby. We already told you that Lady Gaga will be gracing the stage at this years award show – We always know that Gaga will bring it on stage and this performance should be even bigger because it’s also the day she releases her first single from her new album. CBS has officially announced some other performers for the February 13th show. Any guesses on who else is set to perform?

Per LA Times:

Announced Thursday morning, the musicians range from the sturdy country sounds of Miranda Lambert to the grand rock ‘n’ roll of the Quebecois band Arcade Fire (both of whom will make their Grammy performance debuts), from the king of the two-word profanity, Cee Lo Green, to the reigning Queen of Pomp and Pop, Lady Gaga. Rounding out the list of heavy-hitters will be Detroit rapper Eminem, whose 10 nominations lead the pack, and Katy Perry, who will no doubt be competing with Gaga in the unofficial “most buzzworthy costume” category.

It’s not surprise that Eminem is performing. He leads the pack of nominations this year with 10 nods. I’m also hoping that Bruno Mars, who has 7 nominations, will also perform. It’s rumored that Britney Spears will also be performing, but CBS has yet to officially confirm it.

Who do you think will have the best performance at the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards?
