For a little over a week it has been rumored that Gwen Stefani is joining
The Voice and today NBC made the news official. The No Doubt singer will be joining the singing competition in the fall along with Pharrell Williams and his hat. In case you are one of the few people who doesn’t know who they are, they will be performing on Monday’s show. Stefani will get the audience rockin’ to Hollaback Girl and Williams will get them happy with Come Get It Bae.
So in other words, The Voice gets Gwen Stefani, Pharrell Wiliams and his hat, and American Idol got Harry Connick Jr and Jennifer Lopez. Is there any doubt why Idol’s rating are dropping fast and The Voice’s are going up faster? I mean, the NBC show gets artists that are charting now and Idol gets ones that haven’t charted since their contestants were born. You gotta respect the crap out of Mark Burnett for not only knowing which musicians are hot, but also for having the ability to get them to do his show. Everyone of their coaches has not needed the show to get them liked again (see J-Lo) and yet they still do it! Pharrell Wiliams’ hats off to Reality Show Mogul!
Side note: That photo was taken in at the 2005 Billboard Music Awards when Gwen won Digital Song of the Year for Hollaback Girl. I was looking for photo of them together, thought that one was perfect, picked and then found she won for the song she will be singing on Monday. Total kismet.
