Singer-actress Christina Milian will join the next season of NBC’s hit show The Voice as a social media correspondent, replacing Alison Haislip.
“Christina’s extensive musical background and widespread recognition make her the perfect choice for the role of Social Media Correspondent on The Voice,” said NBC’s president of alternative programming Paul Telegdy. “Her experience as a singer will provide a comfort level to our artists when they speak to her about the ins and outs of the competition.”
The press release explains Milian’s role, which appears to be similar to Haislip’s appearances last season:
The Voice will continue to push the boundaries between broadcast and online by bringing social media conversations to the on-air show. Bridging the gap between on-air and online is new Social Media Correspondent Milian who will make regular appearances during the live broadcasts. Milian will engage fans and connect them to artists and coaches from “The Voice Social Media Room” via Facebook, Twitter, NBC.com and NBC Live. In the live shows, fans who use #TheVoice or tweet to the show, coaches or artists’ official handles may see their tweets appear in the lower third of the screen during cutaways during the live show.
