The Voice is in the battle rounds starting Monday, October 14, 2013 and Ed Sheeran is joining Christina Aguilera as a mentor for her team.
“Ed Sheeran is my co-coach and I could not be happier. He keeps it easy and he’s so crazy talented and I know that my team is dying when they see him” Aguilera says.
It seems Sheeran though is star-struck. “She’ll go, ‘can you sing like this?’ and then she’ll let rip, and you’ll remember it’s Christina Aguilera, and she’s … sick.” Sheeran also says he is looking for drive moreso than ability. “When I first started out I didn’t have any ability to speak of at all, but I did have drive and determination, and I feel like you can learn ability…”
On coming back to The Voice, Aguilera says, “It’s a team I am familiar with. I have a history with the boys and knowing so many things about each other, it’s fun coming back. We can film our own behind the scenes show.”
