W
ith The Voice finals
upon us, the race to
the finish line is
heating up between
contestants and coaches alike.
But with a win already up her
sleeve, it appears hit-maker
Kelly Rowland could be
gearing up to leave the show
entirely – to make way for pop
diva Christina Aguilera!
A well-placed insider tells
Woman’s Day US-based singer
Kelly, 38, is looking to focus
more on her family and her
own music career in 2020.
The rumours come just
months after the Destiny’s
Child singer released The Kelly
Rowland Edition, her first
musical project since 2013.
There’s no denying Kelly’s
had a good run on the show,
with her team member, looping
artist Sam Perry, taking out
The Voice crown in 2018.FEELING CLUCKY
Fuelling speculation she’s
ready to swing her chair
around for the last time, Kelly
said she’s eager to give her
four-year-old son Titan a
sibling, revealing, “I amitching

in chaos!
It was the change that viewers
yearned for, but it seems the decision
to include past Voice contestants and
former reality TV artists this season
is causing strife behind the scenes! One
insider tells Woman’s Day this season’s up-and-
coming performers are feeling the pressure of going up
against more accomplished stars, which includes the likes
of Australia's Got Talent 2011 winner Jack Vidgen. “Nobody
wants to appear ungrateful, but a lot of them feel it’s just not
fair,” the source reveals. The insider says some of the more
inexperienced singers find it harder to gel with the coaches,
given they’re surrounded by more familiar artists.But as one pop queen
bows out, another is set
to step in, with the show’s
crew apparently eyeing
up 38-year-old megastar
Christina for the gig.
The Beautiful singer was
a coach on the show’s US
version between 2011 and
2016, but quit after admitting
she felt disconnected with
the American production’s
approach.VOICE COMEBACK
“I saw blatant things that
I didn’t think were OK and
that I’m sure no one would
want to put up with in a work
environment,” Christina said.
“It was important for me
to step away.”
But four years, a Las Vegas
residency and a hit album
later, the mother-of-two is
said to be keen to give The
Voice gig another go, this
time in Australia.
“Her Vegas work ends later
this year, so joining the show
here is definitely on the table,”
says an insider.
“She loves the show, but will
be looking to do things a little
differently to how they were
done over there.”a then-19-year-oldKariseEden
