THE VOICE’s fourth season has gotten great ratings, even beating out American Idol. But Shakira has sadly decided to quit the show after this season ends. Former coach Christina Aguilera will return to replace her.
The star said she’s leaving THE VOICE because she wants to focus on her personal life and music career. Shakira told usmagazine that traveling between L.A. and Barcelona, Spain has been hard on her four-month-old son, Milan. She also said that she has to “get back to the studio, the recording studio, to finish my album, the one that I started working on before I had to deliver a baby and before I took this gig with THE VOICE.”
Shakira and Usher, the two new coaches on THE VOICE this season, were brought in to replace former coaches Aguilera and Cee-Lo Green so that they could work on their new albums. There’s no word yet on whether Cee-Lo will also return to the show.
What do you think about Christina’s return to THE VOICE?
