First Look: Usher & Shakira Take Their Seats On ‘The Voice’

Published: Wednesday 2nd Jan 2013 by Sam

Season 3 of The Voice may have wrapped just a few weeks ago, however production for season 4 is already underway!

The hit NBC show, which now airs twice yearly (Spring and Fall cycles), is welcoming Pop forces Usher and Shakira to its panel of Coaches.

Indeed, as earlier reported, the pair have been tapped to replace departing judges Cee-Lo Green and Christina Aguilera – who are taking a season (or so) off to re-engage with their musical mainstays.

With the New Year upon us and the show’s March return looming, producers have today unveiled new promotional shots for the new panel.

Check them out above and below…

Randomness: Interestingly, Shakira is heavily pregnant with her first child. And while the Columbian star is reportedly due any day now, it’ll certainly be interesting to see how this factors into the upcoming series. For, though premiering on March 25th, filming is either underway already or will be in the next few weeks.

    Sam!! Shakira had a baby boy last year.

    • JuanR January 2, 2013

      False!

  2. JOHNVIDAL January 2, 2013

    Could you imagine Adam Levine and Usher making out???… lol I don´t know I just realized all these judges on the Voice are so hot. I mean Shakira… so exotic

    • dubB(male type) January 2, 2013

      Now that you are done busting a load in your pants i don’t think Adam Levine is usher’s type sorry i can’t imagine it

  3. Yelling January 2, 2013

    S*** shakira and i can totally see usher and adam getting it on. Im a straight girl and i find that weirdly erotic

    • dubB(male type) January 2, 2013

      REALLY?

    • JOHNVIDAL January 2, 2013

      Glad I´m not the only one seeing it. Usher and his white rival (for some people) Justin Timberlake would be a similar pairing/hotness 🙂

  4. King B>Rihanna(My Hair is Layed like Beyonce’s Haters Loose P****) January 2, 2013

    My baby daddy Usher lloking s*** opening his legs for me to come and sit in his laps.Shakira is just beautiful and the way she moves that body………….I really want to know if she has a spinal chord or bones in her body cause her hips definitely don’t lie.I heard people saying Usher is boring so I hope he can bring personality like Cee-Lo and I hope that Shakira brings that sassy,spicy that Latina woman are known for because that will suffice for the train-wreck that is Christina Aguilera.

  5. JuanR January 2, 2013

    Can’t wait for Shak!

    • JENNY JONES!!! January 3, 2013

      YES I’D LIKE TO SEE HER BUT WON’T BE WATCHING B/C OF USHER BEING THERE. 100% LOSER!!!!!………..JENNY JONES!!!!!

  6. The Female MJ (Beyonce’s Weave) January 2, 2013

    This is so beneath Usher it’s not even funny. Usher should be on a world tour instead of playing judge in karaoke shows.

  7. Shawn242 January 2, 2013

    Why da f*** is this M***** face, bell pepper pre Michael Jackson nose job having ,cheating m*********** loved by so many women. Flopsher Gaymond cheated on Chilli and He cheated on tameka with her bridesmaid and you guys still love him? Chillllle

    • King B>Rihanna(My Hair is Layed like Beyonce’s Haters Loose P****) January 2, 2013

      because we don’t care about his personal life we care about his music……..only basic b****** do that.

  8. ƸӜƷ MC ƸӜƷ January 2, 2013

    My hubby Usher looking so s***, as usual, and Shakira Shakira looking as hot and exotic as ever. I’m excited, I might actually watch………….I have never seen the appeal in Adam Levine……

    • King B>Rihanna(My Hair is Layed like Beyonce’s Haters Loose P****) January 2, 2013

      Why you always coming for my men………..First it was Luke now Usher and I agree Adam looks like he smells.

      • ƸӜƷ MC ƸӜƷ January 2, 2013

        Usher has always been mine so _/ we can share Luke though 😉

    • Touché January 2, 2013

      Me too! I might actually watch it just because of Shakira

    • mobwife January 2, 2013

      IKR? Adam has the body of a 10 yr old girl IMO 🙂

      • irene46 January 2, 2013

        i might no longer watch it because ceelo and christina are gone.

  10. Aishaaguilerakeys January 2, 2013

    Aguilera better seize this opportunity and try to revive her career. Smh.

  11. Touché January 2, 2013

    I really hope it will be an interesting season.

  12. S****** Blonde January 2, 2013

    Shakira lost her charm since she move to Spain, Usher look a mess as usual, the only salvation is my husband Adam, i meet him at the Olive Garden in Times Square, the pic is already on my Facebook page, i gave him a kiss on the cheek, he is so cool.

    • JOHNVIDAL January 2, 2013

      Adam is not bisexual as you. Stop dreaming man… lol And about Shakira… yeah we know you are pressed cos she is team Barça, like most football lovers are 🙂
      Biggest t-shirts sellers this year: #1 is Barça, #4 Spain as a nation team, #6 Real Madrid Sorry

  13. mobwife January 2, 2013

    YAWN!

    Once they start changing the dyamics of any show it begins to decline. I don’t know what these two will being to the table? It’s a good set up though as Shakira will bring in the Latino viewership and I guess Usher will bring in the Black folks? 0_o *Kanye shrug*

  14. irene46 January 2, 2013

    they have definitely changed the dynamics of the show. the original cast was a good mix. i like both usher and shakira but not as replacements for ceelo and christina.

    ceelo was unusual, funny and put on great flashy performances. i was pulling for the show to help christina to be able to overcome the harshly negative image of her created by the media. she gave useful criticism and came across as really caring for the contestants.

  15. OMG Just Google Kelsnetwork and see what happens! January 2, 2013

    hmmmm

    ” And while the Columbian star is reportedly due any day now, it’ll certainly be interesting to see how this factors into the upcoming series”

    Ever heard of guest judges, TGJ? Seriously now.

    On another note, Usher serving all the s*** in his pic with his signature all-black-everything look. Hello, hottie!

    Adam/Usher that’s too much “hot charismatic swag” to handle! Just the thought of it makes me…woowee!!!

    • irene46 January 2, 2013

      one hotness with swag is enough although i don’t think blake sheldon is too bad either. i just don’t think usher and shakira make a good charismatic mix like ceelo and christina. ceelo was good freaky comic relief. i think christina came off as a great coach and fit in well with the ‘boys’.

  17. irene46 January 2, 2013

    i’m glad the snapshots of usher and shakira make you feel better because they do nothing for me.

  18. HeHaHeHa January 2, 2013

    Shaki supposedly had her baby around New Years….
