Christina Aguilera signs on for The Voice Season 3
TheWrap reported yesterday that The Voice coach Christina Aguilera has signed on for Season 3 -- which may come as soon as the fall, competing with The X Factor. We've heard about before, and it looks like NBC just might be following through with the plan.
The contract according to TheWrap is $10 million. But Xtina's reps say it is less than that.
One of the big differences if The Voice does air in the fall is that Christina will be competing with three new coaches since Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Adam Levine are reportedly not available for the entire year.
From TheWrap:
"The Voice" has signed Christina Aguilera for a third season as NBC considers launching that season in the fall instead of waiting until 2013, TheWrap has learned.That scheduling decision would have the show, now a midseason hit, airing at the same time of year as Fox's "X Factor."
Aguilera is the first of the four "Voice" judges to re-up her contract, which TheWrap last week reported amounted to a pricey $10 million, far more than "X Factor" judges earn on Fox.
But one insider close to the show said Aguilera's contract was for under $10 million.
Aguilera has been signed to tape the shows from September through December, according to a person close to the negotiations.
An NBC spokesman said no decision has been made about whether the show would air in the fall. But NBC insiders said the network was "considering" airing "The Voice" then.
