  • Promo Shots: Usher & Shakira Pose In Their “The Voice” Judge Seats… [PHOTOS + VIDEO]

    Usher The Voice SFTA

    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”?

      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.

            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.

      I watch The Voice for the talent, not for the judges. Hope this season brings out some new favorites for me.
