Billie Joe Armstrong signs on for 'The Voice'“The Voice” coach Christina Aguilera finally has her celebrity dream team together. Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong has joined her squad on the hit NBC talent competition as a mentor.
A tweet sent out by the show’s staff on Thursday heralded his arrival: "Welcome Billie Joe (@BJAofficial) to #TeamXtina! We are ready to rock out in Season 3." Armstrong joins three new mentors on the singing competition: Rob Thomas (who’s down with Cee Lo Green); Mary J. Blige (Adam Levine); and Michael Buble (Blake Shelton). Armstrong reportedly began taping his segments on “The Voice" Wednesday; the series went into production last month. The third season of “The Voice” premieres September 10.

Puleaseeeeeee this loser can't sing in-key at all he is tone-deaf. The only one that can sing is Christina Aguilera.
No he can't sing, but at least he can remember the words to one of the most overplayed songs in the history of the world! He actually changed the music industry; She got fat and somehow became a WORSE singer, nevermind the fact that she is as UNORIGINAL as they come. But please, keep letting the world know that you know absolutly nothing about musical talent. F it, YOU should be on the voice as a judge! Because you know as much a XTina, which is NOTHING!
How ironic....the hipsters must be jumping for joy! Someone with ZERO talent juding other peoples talents. Oh the irony....
Who cares. I just wanna know if Christina's t!ts will be bigger this season...
Just her ego... And the size of gurdle she uses to hold that gunt in. Nasty hooooore.
This is hysterical. Why not get the living half of Milli Vanilli?

Green Day was never cool.

We call this the lay low period.
S.okman, getting any of this lately...({})
Marilyn, want some attention, play on this (-----------3
Good, nice to see they are putting in musically talented people. He and his band are cool, love their music.
Definitely. Although I do like Adam Levine too.
most of the time the ips do not match but its best to take a heads up. saving money? i have gig at a college next week on saving money.. thanks for all the emails at home!
if someone says they have your ip address that's a problem. cnn was great to me also. have it checked and rectified.
What the sh¡t are you talking about? Been seeing strange posts like this more often lately. People saying they cant be tracked and/or promising some kind of legal reckoning. Is this for real or has the troll finally snapped and gone down the rabbit hole into the matrix?
Hello folks. Everyone is cordially invited to visit – thestarofkaduri.com
I LOVE THIS GUY AND WE HOPE HE DOES WELL
In Grand Prairie, Tx the show was wonderful! Sitting in the bacolny I was worried we wouldn't get the full effect of the dancers but although the venue was good, the whole experience came in very clear! I thought the lighting was blinding at times and over powered the dancers but over all a very pleasant time!The video expression with the numbers/dance were timed and very eye appealing! The finally was tremendous! My wife and I have followed the show every season and love how they give good ordinary kids (not stinking celebrities who receive more than they deserve already) opportunities to use their God given abilities to entertain us!! Nice going dancers and the crew! God bless! Jesus is Lord!!!
you never know he may do well!
hey i like this kid. i think he'll be ok
I OWN 3 SUBMARINES NOW.
i own 3 yellow yellow submarines-keep going...
you messed up on the blog LAST NIGHT when you asked for my email..we went right on it. cnn sources said there is no ip match to mine...you have no ip access and if we hear from you again you will receive a formal complaint from cnn and myself.

We all live in a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine, a yellow submarine...
hacko you f-cked when it asked me for my email address last night on the web. we were on it already. lesson number 1 you never give your email address to anyone on the web. # 2 cnn was right on it ...thank you cnn.
we watch everything even from the shore..thank you boys. always have my back.
Was Whoppie Goldberg farting again? Last time you could Bayer nostrils flare as she had to breathe in all that gas and bacteria that was flowing out of Whoopie's read end.
doesn't anyone get embarrassed by doing these things...in being connected to the industry all i have to do is make a call.. we will know on monday who the wise "guy" and then it will in their record for inappropatiate behavior. sorry but that's bad blog playing,.
HACKER WILL ASK FOR EMAIL ADDRES...THEREBY CNN WILL TAKE IT FROM THERE.
WRONG IP ADDRES..THANK GOD..THANK YOU CNN.
Green Day is a joke and always has been...all they do is play 3 chords...and not well...and copy other peoples music...oh yeah...and sing with a British accent when they are from Portland...I can only hope this means NO MORE GREEN DAY!
They are from Oakland, but nonetheless... continue
They should be embarassed to be called a "Punk" band when all they are is a pop band. 3 chords is right! That's all they play.
LMFAOOOOOOOO Green Day are from Oakland, California. Not Portland. At least know your facts when you attempt to insult them...even though that was so lame that it didn't even count as an insult.
Green Day is one of the top most influential bands EVER.
Maybe Billie Joe was doing this so he could get some publicity and people would be like "oh hey I didn't know GD were still around" and then they might look them up and see that they have 3 new awesome albums out.
Jeeze. You people are so judgmental.
THANKS FOR SHARING...
When I was in the punk scene I noticed there two camps. The really weird and interesting kids who really didn't care about being popular. They listened to "pop" punk bands like Sonic Youth and the Bhole Surfers. And then there were the not so interesting kids who listened to Pennywise, Bad Religion and all that pop punk stuff. It became clear to me that these kids were outcasts who at heart really wanted to be like the popular jock and cheerleader types. They didn't have the looks or the money so they went "punk." That's Billy Jo. He comes at you like the big rebel but he just wants to be a pop princess like Aguilera.
Should read "They listened to punk bands" not "they listened to 'pop' punk bands."
Ha, so the guy who rails on what he considers terrible music (ie: always slamming nickelback) joins this show. What a joke.
Yet another nail in the punk rock coffin. Thanks, sell out.
says the 15 year old
Took the kids to Green Day in 2009. I wasn't expecting much considering they're a three piece band that isn't Rush. But they had about 5-6 guys on stage, piano and sax. It was a fantastic concert. Billie Joe knocked every song out of the park. This guy has a set of pipes on him! Don't think for one second this guy can't sing. He's a freakin' powerhouse. He sings high and powerful and can keep it up. Not only that, but one of the most obliging bands I've EVER seen and I've pretty much seen them all. They kept calling people up on stage to play guitar, sing "Who knows the guitar in this song? You? Come on up!" Now THAT"S a band.
So far, your opinion is the only one of three I can respect that's been posted on this! You're about the only one that can respectfully give their opinion 🙂 I love you for this stranger on the internet 😀 (you too @David Fitzgerald and @bandni !)
-–
anyway, I'm excited for this 🙂 I think Billie has a lot in store for this show and knows what he's doing. He's been around longer than any of the judges, so I'm pretty certain that by now he knows stuff that others don't and can really help out those who want to get into the real rock scene! Like it or not, Green Day is very successful and have over 20 million fans worldwide. If Billie were doing this just for money, he would have probably found a different show like American Idol.
thats awsome.
talented? not sure we'll have to see what he can do...
YAY!!! Billy Joe is SOO awesome!! I've been loving Green Day for years, I'm so excited, even more of reason to watch The Voice!!:)
sorry: i am thrilled he's judging.
i thrilled he's judging can't wait
how do have 55 mil at his age? saving that's how. duh
you can't always blame the celebrity...the people buy he gets the bucks.
Lame..................
Love it. Sing about the evils of corporate America for money, then simply join the very thing you decried for increased personal profit.
Billy Joe... say it ain't so ! ? ! ?
according to the times he's worth a reported $55 mil–somebody is listening and buying.
good work young fella!
I got excited because I thought he was a new judge at first. Not that I LOVE LOVE Billie Joe, but I'd like the show to have a judge with more of a taste/ear for rock.
I really hope he's broke and desperately need the money...
dont' have a clue who this kid is.
ever heard of the band Green Day ???
Kid? He's 40
LOL
I love watching all the people bash this decision. It's the same people who bash about everything on the internet. Internet trolls. Billie Joe is widely successful. Regardless if you like his personal style or not, he has gained mega success and anyone who is that successful has insight to offer young artist.
Let's be honest, despite being associated with the term punk since their origin, Green Day was never particularly edgy. Now if Henry Rollins decided to do it, that would be really selling out.
this dude turned into such a tool. sickening.
@Caligirl – they picked him specifically because they didn't want you watching the show. They're trying to shed the ghetto-fab type viewers and appeal to a more, shall we say, "sophisticated" audience. Looks like it's going according to plan. Enjoy your 40!
GREEN DAY = GHEY
YOU = IDIOT
I'm trying to think of one but I can't recall a band that's sold out more than GreenDay has. Too bad.
Metallica...
KORN
how do you "sell out" while not compromising your music in any way? Have we all forgotten what "sell out" actually means, or is the term just applied to anyone who is successful now?
Good evening folks. Everyone is cordially invited to visit ... thestarofkaduri.com
Rob Thomas and Billie Joe Armstrong. Love both of them (and have actually met one of them) – wish they were judges instead!
A guy who tries to call the whining he does singing is going to be a mentor? He's going to kill these people's careers before they begin.
sad. . .
I might actually watch this show now...I am sure it will be much more entertaining with Billie Joe on board!
Epic fail .. dude sounds like he's got a stuffed up nasal cavity....
anyone who uses the term 'epic fail' anymore is themself an epic failure. why dont you throw in the phrase 'been there done that bought the t-shirt' while youre at it. and you may want to look up the definition of 'fail' if you have time. green day doesnt quite fit that definition in radio play, albums sold or tour revenue.
AmericanIdiot-you do not call your fellow man and idiot
Awsome!!! Great choice Christina, I will definately tune in.
Awsome!!! Great choice Christina, I will definately tune in.
Your both wrong.
This guys sings like a bloodly dying cat
... And you can't spell; everyone has their faults. Looks like BJA has parlayed his into multi-millions. What have you done with yours? Oh yeah, you sit in your mother's basement drinking Mountain Dew and eating Cheetos while posting ignorant comments on message boards. How's *that* career paying off for you?
i will no longer be watching then. Green Day blows!
Oh no Caligirl won't be watching! Im sure right now the producers of The voice are rethinking the decision to hire him. Right now they are letting him down that he can't be a mentor because Caligirl will not watch the show!
