I don’t know what to make of this news. I think what it boils down to is Christina Aguilera = The New and Drunker/More Medicated Paula Abdul. Christina got herself a job, just days after being arrested for being so bombed she couldn’t even remember her address, much less stand upright. Christina got a gig as a “musician coach” on the new American-Idol-esque competition show, The Voice. Christina joins Cee Lo Green (oh, GOD) and Adam Levine (douche with a pretty voice).
Christina Aguilera is putting that voice to good use. The Grammy winner has just been named as a musician coach on NBC’s new musical competition series The Voice, which premiers April 26.
“I am so excited to be part of such a wonderful project that celebrates music and the talent behind it,” Aguilera, who joins coaches Cee Lo Green and Maroon 5’s Adam Levine, said of the role. “To be given the opportunity to help shape new artists’ careers and mentor them to see their dreams come to fruition is a task I welcome with open arms.”
NBC executives say the singer’s talent was what caught their eye. “Christina has a once in a generation talent – her voice is phenomenally distinctive and instantly recognizable,” Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming at NBC and Universal Media Studios said of the appointment. “Her journey as an artist, who started so young in the music business, will be an inspiration to the talent she coaches on the show.”
The news comes on the heels of a challenging week for the singer. She was jailed by police for public intoxication early Tuesday morning before later being released, while her boyfriend, Matt Rutler, was also arrested for investigation of DUI.

So… Christina is “The Paula” right? Only much, much worse. I’m seeing buckets of drag queen makeup, mixed with a prerequisite two bottles of Jack Daniels before she makes her way to “coach” the contestants. And once there, she falls down a lot and somebody (Adam Levine) gets called a “whore.” Because she’s a boozehound monster, and everybody is enabling her drunk ass.

‘I think what it boils down to is Christina Aguilera = The New and Drunker/More Medicated Paula Abdul.’
Exactly. She got the job because of the train wreck potential.
AM I THE ONLY ONE WHO THINKS THAT SHE LOOKS LIKE A WHITE VERSION OF SNOOKIE??
Xtina was first so Snookie looks like Xtina. Btw get that $$$ gurl.
She got the gig for ratings, period. She is talented but incredibly arrogant. Her drunk a$$ will be amusing though.
This just seems like another big slip down the ladder of fame. This boozehound used to fill stadiums with her talent- Now she’s being unfavorably compared to Paula Abdul. I guess the Dancing with the stars cast was filled, huh?
Am I the only one who wants to tackle this girl with a bottle of Nice ‘N Easy and bring her hair back to something that doesn’t look like fried Barbie doll?
Nooooo Cee Lo nooooooooooo
@penguen You’re not alone! You go get the bottle, and I’ll hold her down!
Love how Hollywood rewards people like this. You have an addiction, a drinking problem? Let’s give you a great high-paying job, a reality show, (etc.), pay you and exorbitant amount of money and watch as you crash and burn.
Although I see someone has said it, it bears repeating, as we are learning w/ Charlie Sheen, bad behavior brings in the ratings, so I’m not surprised. It is our fault for paying attention. We’re all (including myself) part of the problem.
@ penguen & DetRiotGirl – She’s a mite bigger than she used to be…I’ll help!
penguen, riotgirl,bellaluna: And I’ll be there with the jackhammer to remove all the sludge from her face.
I’m obviously wasting my money with this college stuff. It’s time for a sex tape, acting like a dumbass, and then becoming a drunk train wreck with some wasted/ lack of talent.
Edit: Oh, and face destroying plastic surgery or being really unattractive but pretending I’m super hot. I haven’t decided which one yet.
IF one didn’t have to look at her, one WOULD think she has an amazing voice… Grabbed my kid’s old CA CD (the one with “Beautiful”), and CA REALLY does have a great voice and CAN sing!
She doesnt have an addiction she got drunk so what! How many of you have ever been so drunk you can’t stand! All of you I bet!!
And I cannot believe you are saying this about her weight, so what if she’s put on a few pounds who hasen’t!!!
