Christina Aguilera Out, Gwen Stefani In for "The Voice" Season 9, Is Christina Gone For Good?

The new judges for "The Voice" season 9 has just been unveiled and one of the original judges is missing the action once again.

For "The Voice" season 9, Gwen Stefani, Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Pharell will be sitting in the red chair once again, according to Variety. Even Carson Daily is hosting again but Christina is out.

NBC is "thrilled" to have them all come back for "The Voice" season 9.

"The expertise and camaraderie of this panel will provide an immeasurable experience for the artists and must-see entertainment for all who are watching," president of alternative and latenight programming for NBC entertainment Paul Telegdy said in a statement as quoted by the source cited above.

Stefani, meanwhile, is happy to sit on the red chair again and be with her fellow coaches.

"I'm coming back and am so excited," she said, according to E! Online. "It's so inspiring to be around such incredible talent and music. I'm looking forward to working again with Adam, Blake and Pharrell. I love those guys."

The other judges have expressed their excitement as well for "The Voice" season, as reported on Just Jared.

"I can't believe we're already on the ninth season," said Adam Levine. "Time after time, coming back, it honestly feels like the first day of school. It's become a second family for me and I'm always so excited to come back to it."

Blake, on the other hand, is excited for another win.

"Adam, Gwen, Pharrell and I had a blast together in season 7 and I'm excited we're back together again," the country singer said. "They are all so talented but I'm pretty damn excited about another winning season for Team Blake."

While Pharrel is just grateful for another season.            

"I am grateful to have a role on the show among such an incredible group of great people and am looking forward to another season of talented artists," he stated.

Missing Christina? Don't fret, Christina fans! Us Weekly said audiences will reportedly get a sight of the coach again come season 10.

"Christina is confirmed for Season 10 and has already signed her contract," said a source that was quoted by the site. "She has been very vocal about not doing Season 9 to take a break to spend time with her family and her kids... She always planned to flip them so she had a season off and she is not being replaced by Gwen."

"The Voice" season 9 airs this September.
