Cee Lo Green announced on the Ellen Degeneres Show today that he will NOT be returning to The Voice. At all.
“I’m going to continue my relationship with NBC,” explained Cee Lo. “I have a television development deal with them as well, and hopefully some other talk show opportunities with them later in the year. I’m going to miss The Voice too.”
And then he announced. “I’m not coming back guys!”
After the audience reacted with “ooohs!” and “awws!” Cee Lo continued. “I don’t want to wear out my welcome there. You know what I’m saying. I have so many other things that I want to do. I haven’t released an album in four years.”
Cee Lo was appearing on Ellen with Lionel Richie, whom he’ll be going out on tour with.
Welp. Not only was Cee Lo useless as a coach but he was kind of creepy too. He was definitely the weak link on the panel during the fall cycle. Even as Christina stepped it up for season 5, he seemed checked out the whole time. It’s a decision that’s for the best.
