"We're looking to get more involved with people starting out just like we did. We're not just making commentary and then going home. We're getting completely involved. I wish there was a show like this when I was starting. I'm ready to share it all."
-Once and future television star Christina Aguilera, explaining just how involved with the contestants she and the other judges will be on the upcoming singing competition "The Voice." The show, which premieres on April 26 on NBC, will also find Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine behind the judges' table. Not only will the trio make judgments about singers, but they'll also help them along to get their careers jump-started.
According to Aguilera, the whole thing will have a very positive vibe. "This isn't about tearing people down. I want to bring these people up," she told Entertainment Weekly. "Instinctually, you can judge people based on the way they look. I love the fact we get to sit here with our backs turned away from these people and completely use just one sense to hear these voices. I'm not looking for vocal acrobatics, who has biggest range [of] high and low. I'm looking forward to getting moved."
The show will not only be important to the contestants but also to Aguilera, who has had a pretty rough professional year. Her album Bionic was greeted tepidly, she had to cancel a tour, she saw her film "Burlesque" get panned and she tripped up during "The Star-Spangled Banner" in front of the biggest television audience of all time.
