Ed Sheeran has been named the team advisor for Christina Aguilera on the upcoming season of THE VOICE. The British singer will be part of Aguilera’s coaching team, offering guidance as contestants navigate the early rounds and later stages of the competition.
Sheeran will appear during the Battle Rounds on October 14 and 15 and was personally selected by Aguilera to join the coaching panel.
Christina Aguilera returned to the judges chair after Shakira left the show to focus on family commitments.
Ed follows in the footsteps of Billie Joe Armstrong from Green Day, who served as Team Xtina advisor in season 3.
Christina likes to mix styles when choosing advisors, pairing Green Day and Ed Sheeran with her own vocal approach to create a wide range of coaching perspectives.
THE VOICE is set to return for its fifth season on September 23. Viewers may wonder how this new pairing will influence performances and team dynamics this fall.
Show fans have watched The Voice rely on a rotating roster of mentors to sharpen contestants’ performances and stage presence. A songwriter like Sheeran brings practical tips on phrasing, breath control, and translating a song into a memorable moment on stage.
Aguilera’s track record with diverse collaborators highlights a willingness to explore genres within a single season. The combination of Armstrong’s rock energy and Sheeran’s contemporary pop sensibility sets up a coaching dynamic that spans from gritty belt to smooth storytelling.
Observers expect those mentoring sessions to translate into standout performances during the Battle Rounds and the later rounds.
September 23 marks the return of THE VOICE, inviting fans to watch the evolving dynamic between coach, adviser, and contestants as the season unfolds.
