'The Voice' coaches rehired

Christina Aguilera is one four judges who will be back for the second season of "The Voice," NBC said.

NBC says the four musician-coaches who have helped make "The Voice" a summer hit will be back for the next round of the vocal competition.

NBC said Thursday that Christina Aguilera, Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine, and Blake Shelton will all return when "The Voice" resumes in midseason next year.

The series concluded its first cycle Wednesday. It features four musician-coaches (don't call them judges) working with the vocalists throughout the competition.

A major success for NBC, The Voice ranked in third and fifth places in viewers last week.
