‘The Voice’ Producers Planning To Fire Christina Aguilera?

Christina Aguilera signed to be a part of the John de Mol created singing competition The Voice which debuted on NBC in April 2011. Christina, alongside other musicians Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green serve as judges and coaches, with Carson Daly as the show’s host.

X17 is reporting exclusively that the producers of ‘The Voice’ are planning to fire Christina who made $225,000 an episode in the debut season.  Christina has signed on for the second season but they have no intention of bringing her back the third season.

X17 further reports: “She doesn’t spend time with her contestants like she’s supposed to. She doesn’t participate. She spends most of her time on the set with her boyfriend.”

In June rumors were circulating that there were problems between Christina and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine on the set of “The Voice.” Christina who got the higher paycheck  rubbed Adam and Blake Shelton the wrong way with her diva,  media whore antics and they have ganged up against her.

So you never know!  No confirmation yet from The Voice or Christina’s rep.

Which Celebrity Coaches Will Return to 'The Voice'?

This week The Voice crowned its very first champ -- coach Adam Levine's protege Javier Colon. So, will the other three celebrity judges get another chance to pick a winner?

Yes they will! NBC has confirmed that Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Levine will all return for the singing competition's second season.

"Our fantastic coaches were integral to the tremendous success of The Voice this year and we are thrilled that they are all returning," Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President of NBC, said in a statement. "We look forward to building season two and making The Voice an even greater experience for fans."

Unlike American Idol, where the identity of next season's third judge is still up in the air, the fabulous four from The Voice will be back to mold a new crop of aspiring singers into successful recording artists. And next season's winner will follow in the footsteps of Javier Colon, who beat out Dia Frampton, Vicci Martinez and Beverly McClellan to win a recording contract and $100,000 prize.

According to UsMagazine.com, a source says Aguilera is "is very excited" for the next season of the show. "It has been an amazing experience for her!"

The four judges obviously had some major chemistry and were a big part of why the show was so successful, so another season of the chair-spinners sounds good to us!

Four Reasons Why Javier Colon Won on '"The Voice"

You probably had your favorite contestant picked out from the very beginning. And like that other singing reality show, the time has come to crown a voice of epic proportions. NBC found its Voice in Javier Colon, a doting family man with an easy grin and some awfully silky pipes. But in case you were wondering how Colon snagged "The Voice's" big prize, it's not really that hard to figure out.

He's just a nice guy.

The first thing that hits you about Javier Colon is that he's just a nice guy. We have every reason in the world to believe that his family plugs were all real. Nonetheless, each and every time the singer got teary-eyed, as he waxed poetic on the dedication to his wife and daughters, America's heart melted. Javier Colon had his champagne-and-confetti popping moment in front of millions of new fans. Let's face it. As much as pop culture celebrates the bad boy, we love rewarding the "good guys" for doing neat stuff.

"That boy can sang."

Like the other contestants, he's also an accomplished musician with a sturdy grip on who he is artistically. But more than that, Javier Colon can actually sing. And he does so quite well. His effortless falsetto is creamier than Jiffy peanut butter. (Could Adam Levine be a tad jealous?) The show is called "The Voice," after all; Colon's solid vocal chops were clearly a crowd favorite.




Let's talk about the other contestants...

Beverly McClelland revealed her remarkable chops early on in the season. And as much personality as she's got, there's something about her overall musical style that we've kind of seen before. It's called Melissa Etheridge. Vicci Martinez and her warrior dance are also impressive. Unfortunately, her voice wasn't a match for Javier's. Dia was the competition's "surprise"---a lovely and whimsical songwriting fairy; but her whisper-fresh sound sometimes got lost in the music. Clearly, Javier killed the competition.

He sang a duet with Stevie Nicks, for Goodness sakes.

The biggest hint that Javier would be the winner was the fact that he sang a duet with the legendary (and very well preserved) Stevie Nicks. Their duet, "Landslide," was surprisingly tender. Javier's sweet upper register combined with Stevie's graceful rasp proved to be a brilliant combination. (Taylor Swift, take notes.) Even Adam Levine got a little misty, calling the performance the "coolest thing [Javier's] ever done (outside of having kids.)"
