GREAT NEWS! We don’t have to speculate for months as to who will judge the next season of NBC’s hit show, The Voice, like we have been with American Idol recently. Season 1’s Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will all return next season!

Paul Telegdy, Executive Vice President of NBC, said: “Our fantastic coaches were integral to the tremendous success of The Voice this year and we are thrilled that they are all returning. We look forward to building season two and making The Voice an even greater experience for fans.”

Javier Colon was The Voice‘s first winner and the show will return in January to go head to head with American Idol for its season 2.

Which singing competition is your favorite? Idol or The Voice? Or are you just dying for the premiere of The X Factor?

VIDEO: Get Ready iTunes, Dia Frampton Just Delivered Another Chart Topper On The Voice Finale

Team Blake Shelton’s Dia Frampton performed the original song Inventing Shadows on Tuesday (June 28) night’s The Voice finale on NBC.

Christina Aguilera said the performance was very lovely but Christina focused too much on the distraction Dia’s backup dancers had on the performance. Christina, obviously still thinking about Blake’s questioning of her use of props during a song by her former contestant Lily Elyse, asked Blake: “How can you get away with those distracting visual bells and whistles?” “With a great singer like Dia Frampton, that’s how,” Blake answered, putting a period on that debate.

Cee Lo Green said it was wonderful as usual and that she never ceases to amaze him and says the song will be number #1 on iTunes.

Adam Levine said it’s such a cool song and she’s so nice. Blake Shelton said it will be distracting for the other coaches when they turn on their iPhones in about 30 minutes to find Dia way up at the top of the charts.

VIDEO: Casey Weston ‘Will Always Love You’

Adam Levine saved Casey Weston over his initial gut choice of Jeff Jenkins on Tuesday night’s semi-final episode of The Voice and then coached her into a very controlled rendition of I Will Always Love You – a song covered by two music legends, Dolly Parton and Whitney Houston.

Levine and Weston butted heads in rehearsals: He wanted her to stay away from the iconic versions of the song and create her own and stopped her several times to make sure she stayed on track. Weston said: “I am not trying (to be Whitney). I am just trying to be Casey and sing the way I know how to sing.”

For the live performance, Weston wore a beautiful white dress with brown cowboy boots and delivered a strong rendition of the song.

The judges loved her. Blake Shelton gave her a back-handed compliment: “I never expect you to blow me away, but you always do!” Levine said: “This performance proves that our arguments pay off, because you were amazing, and thank you!”

Maybe it was their arguments, maybe it was saving her over Jenkins, but the internet rumors started immediately after the show on whether Weston and Levine are dating.  I have no clue, sorry. Well, except I am pretty sure Levine is still with long-time girlfriend, SI swimsuit model, Anne Vyalitsyna who starred in his Misery video.

Vicci Martinez ended The Voice Tuesday night (June 21) with a show-stopping rendition of Florence and the Machine’s Dog Days Are Over.

Pounding two drums and sporting an ’80s white outfit and a big pompadour-type hairdo, she got a standing ovation from the crowd.

Adam Levine complemented her hair and called her efforts the “coolest performance of the night.” Blake Shelton agreed and called it the “most powerful performance of the night.” He said it was like someone threw a match on stage and lit it. “There’s no two ways about it, that was a great performance,” said Christina Aguilera.

As for Vicci’s  Coach Cee Lo Green, he said: “I’m so excited for you, I’m sitting on the edge of my seat. You’re right, the dog days are over for you, the future is so bright for you, my darling!”

UPDATE: All the videos of the performance have been pulled off of YouTube. But you can hear it in the video below:

On tonight’s semi-finals competition of The Voice, it was the pros who stole the show.

Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine may have been at each other’s throat all season long, but when it came time for the world premiere of their collaboration, Moves Like Jagger, they were nothing but chemistry and  groove. The new song also features Levine’s band, Maroon 5.

The song title has been a trending topic on Twitter all day today.

Frenchie Davis put her larger-than-life voice and persona into her rendition of Madonna’s Like a Prayer on Tuesday’s (June 21) The Voice.

Cee Lo Green called her his “soul sister throwing down.” Adam Levine simply professed his love for Davis.

But Blake Shelton had the best line of the night, calling Davis’ rendition a big middle finger to anyone who ever doubted Christina Aguilera‘s save of the musician last week. Aguilera said: “That took some lungs and breath, and power and control. You got it … All of that.”

Watch her performance for yourself:

On June 21st episode of The Voice, Xenia brought her undeniable unique tone and understated style to The Man Who Can’t Be Moved. Blake Shelton coached her into putting her own spin on the song.

On stage, it was just Xenia and a mic. There were no gimmicks, props, backup singers or dancers. She doesn’t need any of that.  Adam Levine said she already owns the hardest thing to obtain, and that is a really unique voice. Christina Aguilera agreed with Adam about the uniqueness of Xenia’s voice and complimented its maturity. She also said Xenia is one of her favorites in the competition. Cee Lo Green loves that Xenia has remained unaffected by all the pressure around her. Blake Shelton said that he knows that he will hear Xenia’s voice on the radio and it will stand out from all the other voices.
