‘The Voice’: Who Should Replace CeeLo?

Now that CeeLo Green has said “Forget You” to “The Voice,” who will take his place in the spinning chair?

AccessHollywood.com runs down five great coach options and alternatives:

Usher: Give the singer – who fans and contestants love – the chair on a permanent basis!

Woo A Major Longshot!: Amp up the star power to the nth degree with someone like Justin Timberlake, Adele, Miley Cyrus, Beyonce, Lady Gaga — we’d even settle for Justin Bieber.

Land Someone From Music’s Leftfield!: We would love to get someone on the panel who would liven up the show in an unexpected and bleep button-pushing kind of way. This position could be easily filled by Courtney Love, Kanye West, Sinead O’Connor, Prince or Celine Dion.

More Girl Power: Why not balance the panel with another female? Shakira, Pink, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys or maybe a music legend like Aretha Franklin would round out the coaches well.

Make It A Group Thing: Give the spot to a band or group that could rotate a member in and out each week. One Direction, Imagine Dragons, One Republic, Kings of Leon or U2 would have us tuning in.
