It’s back to work for Usher Raymond IV, who color coordinated with the upholstery as he posed seductively in his brand new work chair.
As you know, NBC’s ‘The Voice’ will usher in 2013 with two fresh new judges, Usher and Shakira.
The network released the first promotional pictures yesterday (January 3, 2013) of the duo sitting in the iconic red leather chairs as they join the popular singing competition show for it’s upcoming fourth season.

As reported earlier, Usher & Shakira are replacing former judges CeeLo Green and Christina Aguilera, who are reportedly just ‘taking a break’ and will return for season five later this year.

[Sidebar: Is it me? Or do they both already look bored to death?!?]
The new promo video for Season 4 of NBC’s hit singing competition show, shows Shakira and Usher arguing over what to listen to on the radio.
They eventually settle on “Forever’s Gonna Start Tonight” and belt out the tune to the dismay of other drivers on the road.
VIDEO: Shakira & Usher “The Pickup”
For the record, “The Voice” just wrapped up its third season, but has already been renewed for a fourth and fifth. NBC’s Robert Greenblatt promised in September that the show is dedicated to keeping fans entertained.
“This pickup will assure the many dedicated ‘Voice’ fans that this innovative show will continue to bring some of the most talented new voices to the world’s attention through all of next year.
With the addition of Usher and Shakira as rotating coaches to join Christina, Cee Lo, Adam and Blake in the next cycle, we know that this incredibly addictive program will remain even more relevant as we move forward through this exciting season. My hat is off to John de Mol, Mark Burnett, and everyone who produces this classy and highly entertaining show for us.
Will you be tuning in to see how Usher & Shakira fit in on ‘The Voice”?

Just don’t see how he will fit in, he has no personality at all, Ceelo was werrd, but fun, I see Usher as the 4th wheel on this show.
Michelle once again kudos no bashing. I see you have stepped up those year and let the people decide. And yes he do look bored and look like he gonna be boring on the show. but this should be OK to watch we all know he a diva.
typo* this year
Usher is the homie so I deff would watch him before BIG BIRD CEELO!
Definitely a watch for me. Yeahman!

"who color coordinated with the upholstery as he posed seductively in his brand new work chair"…Priceless shade@its finest!Michelle, I love you, gurl!LMAO!
The song is called Total Eclipse of the Heart…
YeahMan.im watching because of usher.
Shakira is pregnant, which explains the way that she posed.
I guess this is what one has to do when their album flops and career is coming to a end.
@AlwaysNumberOne
You are so CLUELESS! You must be team Tameka or mad at Usher for some reason!
yes! he/she is team tameka sooo what?? dont u think ur the one who’s flopped here,clueless much!!! whatever he/she says against usher means he/she has to be team tameka?? or is mad at him?? get a grip on yo life mrs raymond(in ur head)
Somuchgoon.his career coming to end and his song was number one song of the years.u better go read magazine.even his career end he has enough money for life and his kids cant even finish the balance.usher get pay 1 million dollars to be at the party for 4 hours.since you been working do you have 100.0000 in ur bank or save.
Naaah Usher paid for a few Billboard shouts, got some love in the magazine from Justin Bieber. he has really fallen off musically with this new white sound. Usher should have stayed with the black core audience fans, instead he crossed over and now looks different but not in a good way. I wish him he best and God speed but he ain’t the same no more. I can’t blame the ex wife like everyone else do, he went white guy after her. His new lady looks like a hippie chick so maybe she told him to go that way. Im not Team Tameka or Usher because i don’t know either of them. I’m just telling it how it looks to me, Im an outsider looking in. His recent actions will make his karma and success be in question also.
It trips me out when ppl say his career is coming to an end or he’s flopping..sad thing is what other consider a flop for Usher STILL out sells Chris Brown, Neyo, Trey Songz, and whomever else 1 would like to compare. His songs have been voted #1 for the past few years as best songs of the year and his tours rank in way more than others. He’s worth 150 million the others aren’t even at 30 million. I sure would like to flop that well. B4 u go in on some1 do your research.
It’s not about being an Usher stan or anythong else crazy 1 could say. It’s about knowing what your talking about b4 u go in on some1. How do u know Usher wasn’t asked to do this show being that the producers said it was based off him and what he did with Justin Bieber? So does this mean Adam, Ceelo, Christina, J Lo, Nicki Minaj, Mariah, and Shakira’s careers are going down bcuz they have done these shows? I think not! Ppl say the dumbest things.
Candi he’s worth 350 millions now.and he’s number artist of 2000 untill now.so all hater can join satan in hell.
everybody on here running their mouth about something they don’t know shhh about…ur all a bunch of clueless stans…if they put big bird and elmo in the judges chairs you blind, mindless sheep would still tune in bc whatever they put on tv is cool…
I watch The Voice for the talent, not for the judges. Hope this season brings out some new favorites for me.
It would be nice to see them on the show.
