| Christina Aguilera's Late Night at the Roxy - Apr 22, 2011 |  Kicking off her weekend a bit early, Christina Aguilera was spotted at the Roxy nightclub in West Hollywood last night (April 21).
Joined by her boyfriend Matthew Rutler, Christina kept close to her man as she headed inside, and they both sported matching plaid caps.
And though she’s one of the four vocal coaches on “The Voice,” Christina confessed she’s never really watched a singing show before.
"I've never done television before. I don't watch a lot of it. I can't even say that I've actually seen a full episode of the other musical shows that are out there such as American Idol.&qu... |

| Extended sneak peek of reality singing competition aired before Thursday's Leno - Apr 22, 2011 |  It's been almost impossible to avoid the avalanche of promotion for NBC's new reality singing competition, "The Voice." From splashy magazine ads to endless TV promos and interviews with the show's four celebrity coaches, the show has been getting a full-court blitz in the lead-up to Tuesday night's premiere.
The biggest push to date occurred Thursday night, when a 12-minute teaser aired before "The Tonight Show," highlighted by an all-star performance of the Gnarls Barkley smash "Crazy" by the four judges. With Maroon 5 singer Adam Levine on drums, country star ... |

| 'The Voice' preview: First impressions? - Apr 22, 2011 | | If the preview of The Voice last night had been a first date, there’d probably be a second. As a loyal American Idol viewer, I hadn’t anticipated enjoying the sneak peek as much as I did, given the comparatively complex structure of the show. (Unlike Idol, The Voice pits the “coaches” against each other, in addition to the competition between contestants.) First, contestants perform for the four coaches (Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine, Cee Lo Green, and Blake Shelton) as they sit with their backs to the performers — very Dr. Claw. If a contestant gets picked, he or she gets placed on that coa... |

| 'The Voice' coaches have their reasons - Apr 24, 2011 |  Christina Aguilera never aspired to be in your living room.
Pop singer Christina Aguilera says she knows what it's like to be a contestant: She was on Star Search as a child.
Though she appeared on the All New Mickey Mouse Club as a child, she has been focused on music since then.
"I don't watch a lot of (television). I can't even say that I've actually seen a full episode of the other musical shows that are out there such as American Idol," she says.
Still, the diminutive singer with the supersized pipes is one of four musicians headlining NBC's The Voice, one of this season's m... |

| Just as J. Lo rises, here comes Christina to steal the spotlight. - Apr 24, 2011 |  Her movie career was basically over. Her music made tweens yawn. She was so jinxed, she even fell onstage in front of millions. Then she signed a deal to appear on a talent show, and the buzz began again about how wonderful she looked.
Three months after Jennifer Lopez turned to American Idol to fix her broken career, Christina Aguilera is trying the same trick. She debuts this week on NBC’s The Voice, which is based on a Dutch hit talent show where celebrities judge contestants without seeing what they look like. “There’s a much happier, confident woman portrayed on the show than you ever th... |

Storch who produced Aguilera's hit song, "Fighter," also had something to say about critics who've been panning Aguilera's recent weight gain. "I think she's loo... |

| The Voice sings different tune in finding talent - Apr 25, 2011 | American Idol is under fire again for being a popularity contest -which, of course, it is. That's the point.
The title isn't "Best Singer in America." The hope is to wind up with someone who is "the complete package" -singing talent, but also looks, personality, charm and sex appeal.
Someone, you might say, who has that certain something. That "X" factor.
In fact, The X Factor is the title of former American Idol judge Simon Cowell's new singing competition, which begins auditions Sunday in Los Angeles (open-call Chicago tryouts are Wednesday) to air on Fox thi... |

| Christina Aguilera Explains National Anthem Flub on 'Ellen' (VIDEO) - Apr 26, 2011 |  Christina Aguilera of 'The Voice' explained her gaffe at the 2011 Super Bowl where she infamously flubbed the lyrics to the national anthem. Turns out, the singer simply got lost in the moment, she said on 'The Ellen DeGeneres Show' (weekdays, syndicated).
"I've been singing that song my entire life. I was known as the youngest anthem singer in my hometown," said Aguilera. "[But] I had a moment where I was at the Super Bowl at 30 years old and, you know, I took in the moment a little bit too much."

"Oh, she had a really rough year," people say solemnly. And Christina agrees, chirping about how difficult her divorce has been. But most people in the public didn't even really register her marriage to non-famous person Jordan Bratman. Her being married or single didn't really have much of an impact on the Christina Aguilera brand. Unlike Kevin Federline, who caused irreparable damage to the Britney Spears brand, Christ... |

| Why is ChristinaTheVoice Trending on Twitter? - Apr 26, 2011 |  “ChristinaTheVoice” is trending on Twitter today for a very good reason. The phrase is a combination of NBC’s much talked-about new singing competition The Voice, which debuts tonight, and the first name of one of its star judges, Christina Aguilera
Today’s buzz on Twitter is a result of Aguilera’s aggressive move into the world of Twitter. The singer, whose official account is @TheRealXtina, joined the social network a little over a month ago and quickly gained a strong following just in time for her first appearance on The Voice.

"I have seen clips about how Simon Cowell can be, and have seen a lot of negativity toward the contestants as a performer," Aguilera says. "Nobody knows better than a performer to have the nerve to get up on stage, a... |

| 'The Voice' ratings prediction: Can Christina Aguilera save NBC? - Apr 26, 2011 |  Tonight the Peacock launches The Voice, its potential rival to American Idol, with a star-stuffed “coach” panel and a concept that puts a literal twist on a hugely popular reality format. The show represents NBC’s last best chance to exit the season with one new ratings winner.
But can Christina Aguilera, Cee-Lo Green and Adam Levine deliver the goods against a super-sized Glee and Dancing With the Stars?
“This is really unknown territory,” says one industry insider when asked an opinion about the ratings.

The former child star essentially chalked the incident up to nerves and said she just got caught up in the excitement of it all. "I took in the moment a little bit too much," Aguilera said of flubbing the lyrics to "The Star Spangled Banner," which she said she's been singing since she... |

One high point, besides her new gig as a mentor to young singers on NBC's The Voice, involves her love life.

Except, presumably the cast of The Good Wife. But, again, just a presumption.
Of course, people singing on TV is nothing new. Since the days of Star Search (the original, not that one hosted by Arsenio Hall. That one goes in the vault of things that never happened. Saved By The Bell: The College Years lives there too), we’ve tuned in to watch regular folk sing their hearts out on national television. Will they be mercilessly criticized? Or become... |

As another ratings-plagued television season comes to a close, NBC brass is banking on The Voice to cut through.
Network executives were hopeful that its highly publicized singing competition series would fill a void created by viewers’ waning interest in a post-Simon Cowell American Idol. But the Fox juggernaut hasn’t stumbled, instead finding new life with judges Steven Tyler and Jennifer Lopez. Now NBC is optimistic that The Voice -- and its “coaches” Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Blake Shelton and ... |

| 'The Voice' series premiere recap - Apr 27, 2011 |  The Voice taught all of us a valuable lesson tonight: Don't judge a show by its relentless ad campaign. For weeks, NBC has been irritating dozens and dozens of viewers (and at least one famous person) by running obnoxious, screen-obscuring spots for its new singing competition underneath its regularly scheduled programming. But if anyone didn't tune in to the first episode of The Voice because they were sick to death of those ads, they missed a fun new series that may just have breathed some life into the overly-saturated singing show genre.

But what do you know? The premiere -- despite Carson Daly -- was promising. Cee Lo Green is a charmer. Christina Aguilera will always have a piece of my heart. And Blake Shelton is hilarious. I think I'll stick around.
Singers belt it out in front of an audience, and the celebrity mentors have their backs to the stage. If one of them ... |

Rebecca Loebe, a young folk singer who had been living out of her car, sang a stirring version of Nirvana's "Come as You Are."

| Christina Aguilera’s Toddler Son Hates Boyfriend Matthew Rutler - Apr 27, 2011 | Christina Aguilera is supposedly dealing with a big “dilemma” involving her boyfriend Matthew Rutler and her three-year-old son Max, according to In Touch.
The mag claims that despite Rutler’s attempts to “win Max over,” the toddler ”just doesn’t like” him.
Even though Rutler has been dating Aguilera for months, he and Max still haven’t “bonded,” says a so-called friend of the Burlesque star.
The “friend” explains that Aguilera has tried to encourage a relationship between her son and boyfriend, but that “Max is a daddy’s boy and Matt isn’t his daddy.”

The first episode of her reality talent show attracted 11.8 million viewers in the US, making it the top-rated series premiere in 2011.
