[NEWS] BILLIE JOE ARMSTRONG CONFESSES WHY HE CHOSE CHRISTINA AGUILERA OVER ADAM LEVINE
...Billie Joe will appear on TV screens on the US version of The Voice next month. The star says joining the judges - including Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera - was a funny experience.
"Ha, The Voice. It's always been a guilty pleasure for me and my wife Adrienne. And I've been friends with Adam since he was 16. I was asked if I wanted to be a mentor and I had to choose between Adam and Christina Aguilera. I thought it would be more interesting if I was with Christina," he explained.Source: BelfastTelegraph
"But it's hilarious as in some of the pre-recordings we've done with the younger kids. I'd be introduced as the surprise guest and they ask 'Who the f**k are you?' Then Christina would say 'Here is Billie Joe from Green Day' and they are like 'What's a Green Day?' It's such fun."

[NEWS] EXTRA!: CHRISTINA AGUILERA ON REALITY TV'S DUELING DIVAS
Christina talks for the first time about the pop diva face-off on primetime with "American Idol's" Mariah Carey and "X-Factor's" Britney Spears, unlikely Team Xtina mentor Armstrong and her ongoing sparring with fellow judge Adam Levine.
How does she feel about Mariah and Britney? It's about embracing the girl power. “You know I love that. All these artists are coming together from all the experience that we've had and we're being able to take that and feed this new wave of talent coming up.”
Christina shows nothing but love and support for her fellow Mousekeeter alum. “Britney's so talented. I mean she's a pro. She's been at it for a number of years now. We did grow up together. It's actually cool that these strong women are joining the club and they're gonna have fun.” When Aguilera heard about her own idol, Carey, joining "Idol," she beamed, “I just found out about it last night, the news is fresh.”
Aguilera’s unique partnership with “The Voice” Season 3 mentor Green Day’s Billie Joe Armstrong is definitely something Christina is excited to bring to the show.
“He's had a tremendous amount of success in the business," she said. "I like to switch it up. This one was very intriguing because he comes from a completely different genre of music than I do. He's had tremendous obvious stage experience and touring and he would have some amazing advice and input.”
Armstrong feels the same way, telling Seymour, “I had a choice between another coach and her." He jokingly added, “You know I like singers, not drummers” -- a slight jab at Christina’s show nemesis, Adam, who plays the drums.
Christina and Armstrong hinted at doing a duet on the show. Aguilera teased, "We'll see… stranger things have happened," while Billie replied, "I'll write something."
When it comes to Christina and Adam, she said they save their sparring for the show. “Any heated, you know, kind of banter… lives in the show and then it's out the window on a personal level.”
“They're like my brothers," she said of "Voice" coaches Blake Shelton, Cee Lo Green and Adam. "They keep me laughing and we like to tease each other.”

[NEWS] CHRISTINA AGUILERA REVEALS HER ADVISOR FOR 'THE VOICE: SEASON 3'
NBC’s “The Voice” is adding a high-powered rocker to the mix.NBC said Thursday that Green Day vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong has joined the talent contest as a mentor to Christina Aguilera’s team this coming season.
In a statement, Armstrong said he and his family are fans of the show.
“The Voice” has won over viewers because “it’s not molding artists, it’s just giving them a little bit of guidance and direction without giving them a complete makeover,” he said.
Besides, Armstrong says, working with Aguilera is “a lot of fun.” He started taping Wednesday on “The Voice,” which has been in production for season three since June.
As the talent contest field grows more crowded, shows are competing for big-name music stars. “American Idol” is adding Mariah Carey as a judge, and “The X Factor” signed Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.
“The Voice” returns Sept. 10.
That’s good timing for Green Day: The band has three albums coming out in quick succession, with the first, “Uno!”, to be released Sept. 25.
In addition to Aguilera, the show’s coaches include Cee-Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Carson Daly is the host.

How darn excited are you guys about the news that Christina will be working with the amazingly talented Billie Joe Armstrong of 'Green Day'.

'The Voice: Season 3' could quite possibly be the best season yet.Here's to the next couple of months being filled of nothing but greatness for our momma. 2012/2013 aren't ready.
