Christina Aguilera would not return to
The Voice. Responding to the unverified claims, a well-paid suit at NBC released an official statement claiming "there is absolutely no truth to the rumor." So while it appears Xtina's job remains safe, we can still ask if you think she should stick with the program.

But first:
yesterday's poll: After
Iron Man star
Terrence Howard unleashed an angry tirade against a complete stranger, we wondered if the crazy recordings were legitimate. Turns out nearly 80 percent of Zimbio readers believe the actor threatened to kill an unknown caller, only to later apologize like a total gentleman. Note to readers: don't leave movie stars' wives loving voicemails, lest you want to die.
But back to Aguilera and her role with
The Voice. So here's what we know: no one at the network ever planned on firing her from the show -- at least,
not according to NBC Executive Vice President of Alternative Programming, Paul Telegdy. Also, the blonde pop star remains under contract for the second season, which makes sense seeing as she NEVER got axed.
More undeniable facts: the show quickly became a big hit for NBC. And its success was fueled in part by Aguilera and the other star judges/coaches, including
Cee Lo Green,
Adam Levine and
Blake Shelton. You can't question the show's popularity. But you can debate the decision to continue employing Aguilera. Because that's what makes this country so great -- the
power of democracy!
