Entertainment Weekly reports that, although Shakira and Usher will be leaving The Voice to make way for Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green to return to the panel for Season 5, they aren’t gone for good!
According to sources close to the negotiations, this fall’s edition will reunite the original lineup: Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and, yes, Cee Lo Green. In addition, Carson Daly will return as host for both cycles.
For next spring, cycle 6, The Voice will then switch back to its current lineup, which has made for a surprisingly successful shakeup this season. NBC is finalizing deals with Shakira and Usher, who will take the stage along with Levine and Shelton.
Look forward to Shakira and Usher to re-join the panel in the spring! Maybe by then, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will decide it’s time for a break…
