Usher and Shakira will be replacing Ceelo Green and Christina Aguilara on the VOICE for it 4th season in Spring of 2013. In its ongoing battle with American Idol, the VOICE, the popular NBC music show is pulling out all the stops in its quest for dominancy in the ratings game. American Idol revealed the addition of three heavy hitting musicians, Maria Carey, Nikki Minaj and Keith Urban, a move that the VOICE has obviously not taken sitting down.
But the addition of Usher and Shakira to the judging panel on the VOICE is as pratical as well as strategic move. Since the VOICE is moving to back to back seasons; one in fall and one in Spring, it is forseeable that some judges may need to take a break to work on their own projects as is the case with Ceelo and Christina. Having a replacement cache of judges may become a permanent feature of the VOICE. Christina and Ceelo are expected to return for the Fall 2013 season and who knows, perhaps Blake Shelton and Adam Levine will take some time off then to work on their projects.
