Christina "Xtina" Aguilera - The most decorated, controvercial and talked-about judge on the panel. Christina Aguilera is known for her beauty, versatility, vocal range, style, integrity, charity, wit, cognitive ability, and knack for keeping PopGAF in a continuous state of Pressedt with her awesome talent.
Blake Shelton - Husband of Miranda Lambert. Allegedly makes music of his own.
CeeLo Green - Only relevant member of now defunct group Goodie Mob. Also 1/2 of the brilliant and short-lived duo Gnarles Barkley. You've probably yelled his most recent hit "Fuck You" at total strangers while pissed-drunk at a local bar.
Adam Levine - Dates models, cheats on models, performs for models, etc. Has the moves of a 70-year-old man and fronts a band you've likely been annoyed by for the last 3 years.
Billy Joe Armstrong (Team Xtina) - Never ages. Fronts a band that doesn't wear nearly enough Khaki for GAF's taste.
Michael Buble (Team Blake) - Face it: The last time your grandmother touched herself it was probably to one of his recordings.
Rob Thomas (Team CeeLo) - Lead singer of Matchbox 20. Remember them?
Mary J Blige (Team Adam) - Queen of the Crispy Chicken Wrap and possessor of the mystical ability to sing about struggling while struggling. Will be lending her special brand of off-key, drama free soul to Team Adam.
Unlike the hordes of singing competitions with wannabe "Idol" formats, "The Voice" has established a ground-breaking format that guarantees a unique range of actual talent with blind auditions and an unparalleled level of judge control in who advances up the ranks.
"The Voice" is also the first modern singing competition to net current and vetted stars as its primary judges - a trend that is being emulated by every other singing competition - from American Idol to X-Factor.
Also, it's fun to watch the judges snatch each other's wigs each and every week.
