Be a Star, Then You Can Judge – Years from now, Christina Aguilera will be remembered for her glamour, her scandalous take on femme-pop and her Brobdingnagian voice. But she should also be remembered as the person who almost single-handedly reshaped music-competition reality programming. Her legacy as a judge on “The Voice,” on NBC, may well turn out to be deeper and more profound than the one she’s forged in her music career.

Jordin Chooses Between ‘X Factor’ and ‘The Voice’ – “I like X Factor because you can be any type of talent, and you can be any age, [but] The Voice is definitely more about just singing so I’d probably do The Voice because that’s what my talent is,” she admits. “And I like the button, and having to fight for them, and you getting to decide who your mentor is … I think that’s really interesting. Although I do love Simon, so Simon don’t hate me for saying that!,” she jokes. – Watch the video at Entertainment Tonight

“Not everybody can be on that train,” judge Mary Murphy, who coined the term, tells TVGuide.com. “It usually happens after really fast numbers, usually something very Latin-y, very spicy, very hot.
