Christina Aguilera Reveals Why She Refuses To Return To ‘The Voice’: ‘It’s Not About Music’

Christina Aguilera is back and she’s all about the music.

After six years, the 37-year-old singer made her big music comeback on Thursday with her sexy new single, “Accelerate.” Xtina also announced her long-awaited studio album “Liberation” will drop June 15 via RCA – her follow-up to 2012’s “Lotus.”……

In the interim, the vocal powerhouse has stayed busy serving as a coach on “The Voice” alongside Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. After joining the singing competition show for its first season, she returned for Seasons 2, 3, 5, 8, and 10.

While “The Voice” continues to be a smash hit on NBC, Christina revealed to Billboard that she won’t be doing the show again, calling it an “energy sucker.”

“It became something that I didn’t feel was what I had signed up for in season one … You realize it’s not about music. It’s about making good TV moments and massaging a story,” she said. “I didn’t get into this business to be a television show host and to be given all these [rules] … 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.”
