Big shakeup happening on ‘The Voice’
Usher and Shakira will be joining the show for season four

“The Voice” couldn’t let “American Idol” make all the headlines. A day after “Idol” introduced their new judging panel “The Voice” announced a shakeup of its own.

HLN can tell you Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green will not be part of season four; in their place will be Usher and Shakira.

NBC said Christina Aguilera and CeeLo Green are taking a break from the show to fulfill other commitments. Aguilera, who is releasing a new album, will also be going on tour. CeeLo will be busy making new music and working with NBC in a new scripted series based on his life.

Don’t worry, there will be two familiar faces when you tune in for season four. Both Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will be back!
