Usher and Shakira are taking over for two judges The Voice.. Who is out next season?

Christina Aguilera announced that she was going to skip out on the next season of The Voice to focus on her music. She’s releasing a new album and going on tour. (Listen to her new song ‘Your Body’ here.. Think she should quit her day job?)

The producers said that if their artists needed to take off a season to do some music, they would always be welcomed back. Blake Shelton sounded like he was on the outs too. He said he wanted to return to his music before he became a TV person…. But he’s not the 2^nd judge to bail out on next season.

Cee-Lo Green is making a grand exit alongside Christina. He’s working on two albums and developing an NBC sitcom about his life, so he’s a little too busy for a karaoke show right now.

But don’t worry. Two stars leave and two big stars bum rushed to take their spots. Shakira is stepping in to take over for Christina. This could be the best thing for her career since her sex tape leaked a few weeks ago. Nothing will boost your career faster than a sex tape or an over-exposed singing show.

And kinda surprised to hear that Usher will be taking over for Cee-Lo. Great choice just really didn’t peg him as someone to join a singing competition show. At least he’s gonna be with a respectable one and not joining Idol.

Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will return for another season but may decide to take time off the following season.
