Christina Aguilera shades ‘The Voice,' says she'll never go back

Christina Aguilera is putting NBC’s infamous red “Voice” chairs behind her forever.
The 37-year-old singer revealed a litany of complaints about her time judging the singing competition in a new interview Thursday — and promised she’ll never go back.
“It became something that I didn't feel was what I had signed up for in season one,” she told Billboard, calling the experience a “churning hamster wheel.”
“You realize it’s not about music. It’s about making good TV moments and massaging a story.”
The Grammy-winning singer kicked off the show in 2011 with Blake Shelton, Adam Levine and Cee Lo Green, then stayed on for five more seasons before being replaced by Gwen Stefani.
“I didn't get into this business to be a television show host and to be given all these (rules),” she told Billboard.
“Especially as a female: You can’t wear this, can’t say that. I would find myself on that show desperately trying to express myself through clothing or makeup or hair. It was my only kind of outlet.”
In happier professional news, Aguilera announced her long-awaited new album Thursday. “Liberation,” set to drop on June 15, is her first full-length release since “Lotus” six years ago.
