Ever since Shakira was first announced as Christina’s replacement, fans of the blond vocalists have been participating in a battle round of their own. And now that we know that both Christina and Shakira will return to their red swivel chairs within the next year, fans are more polarized than ever. While both are undoubtedly superstars, as coaches, they both have their pros and cons. Is Christina too mean? Is Shakira too nice? We’ve heard it all before. Now, we weigh in with our analysis, and you get to tell us which bombshell you prefer:

Team Christina
Pros: Nobody is questioning Christina’s vocal ability. The woman is the definition of a powerhouse, and she clearly knows what she likes in a contestant. She also has a lot to teach. She always gives really constructive criticism, and when it comes time for the coaches to perform with one another, their contestants, etc., we relish the chance to hear her sing live. Also, we love her crazy hats.
Cons: Christina does, at times, cause tension amongst the judges, and sometimes, she can come off as someone who doesn’t really want to be there. Also, we don’t love her fans (not the people, her actual fans).

Team Shakira
Pros: Shakira is intelligent, kind, and spunky, and that comes across in her interactions with the other judges. She’s witty, she knows how to laugh at herself, and the judges’ panel does seem more light-hearted with her in tow. Her passion flows out of her. You can tell how much she is invested in this process.
Cons: Now that the live shows have rolled around, Shakira’s fire is turning into more of a simmer. It feels like she doesn’t want to hurt anyone’s feelings, and instead of giving constructive criticism to contestants, she prefers to talk to them about their looks, their performance, how good they are as a person, etc. It’s great to have a heart of gold, but it’s not doing the contestants any good.

When superstars come together on a collaboration, the results can be electrifying. The 2013 Billboard Music Awards promise to be a highly-charged night, with confirmation that some of the biggest names in music will team-up to perform their biggest hits on the night.

The Las Vegas show will air on ABC at 8 ET, live from the MGM Grand Garden Arena. “30 Rock” alum Tracy Morgan will host, with Don Mischer producing. Madonna will also take the stage to accept the Top Touring Artist award, recognizing the highest-grossing concert touring act of the year.

Bieber, Swift and Mars are also vying for the Milestone Award, presented by Chevrolet, which is a fan-driven honor that one voter will get to present at the show alongside Cee-Lo Green.

UPDATED: The original coaches will reclaim their spinning chairs on the NBC talent competition

Sparkly outfits, busty tops and funky glasses will be back on “The Voice” for Season 5.

Cee Lo Green is in advanced negotiations to also return to Season 5 of “The Voice” alongside Christina Aguilera, according to an NBC executive with knowledge of the situation.

“We are not there yet, but working toward it,” said the executive.

As TheWrap reported earlier on Monday, Aguilera is already set to return next season as a coach on NBC’s hit singing competition. 

Aguilera has signed her contract to return to the NBC talent competition, an individual with knowledge of the deal has told TheWrap. According to the insider, Aguilera’s return has been kept under wraps for a couple of months.

The pop diva will be paid $12.5 million for Season 5, said the executive with knowledge of the deal. It’s roughly about the same salary Aguilera made for Season 3, which makes her one of the highest paid women on reality TV.

However, an another insider close to the negotiations countered that figure, saying the singer will be earning close to $17 million with incentives.

For comparison, Mariah Carey currently makes a reported $18 million on Fox’s “American Idol” and Britney Spears made a reported $15 million on “The X Factor.”

Aguilera announced that she was leaving “The Voice” last December to promote her “Lotus” album and tour. Cee Lo Green also announced his exit at the same time. Shakira and Usher replaced them on the current season.

At the time, executive producer Mark Burnett played down the departures, saying that he expected that his coaches would rotate in and out as they are working artists. He also said they were always welcome to return. Shakira is likely to return in a future season.

“The Voice” has quickly risen to the top of the reality talent show ranks over its past four seasons. Last year, it took “Idol’s” spot in the Emmy race, replacing it among the nominees in the Outstanding Reality Competition category.

In April, it reached a ratings milestone when its two installments took the top two slots for the week in both the advertiser-coveted 18-49 demographic and in total viewers for the first time in the series’ history.

“The Voice” airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 p.m./7c on NBC.
