Christina Aguilera revealed why she took a break from “The Voice” during the Television Critics Association Summer Tour in Beverly Hills, revealing how it helped her to a new understanding of the show and its contestants.

“I cannot live in front of a camera 24 hours a day,” Aguilera revealed during the press tour for season 5 of the show, Huffington Post reported. “I have to take breaks and stay connected with myself. I think that's important so that you can be your best on camera,” she revealed to the crowd.
She went on to talk about her son Max, saying it was good to spend time with him before he starts kindergarten in the fall.
“I have to take breaks and stay connected with myself, I think that's important so that you can be your best on camera,” she said, according to Access Hollywood. “I've been on a really incredible journey the past six months and I just feel revived."
CeeLo Green will be returning to the show as well, and the judges said they don’t feel they are under any added pressure after Blake Shelton has won three of the four seasons of the show.
“I understand that I'm coming back to the Blake Shelton Show,” Aguilera revealed. “We want them to win, but we can all agree it's the contestants that do win at the end of the day. Blake keeps it funny with his trophies.”
Aguilera said being able to watch the show on television really reached her on a personal level, reminding her of her own roots and the journey she took to get to stardom.
“We get very caught up, sitting in the chair, but seeing it from the outside and hearing some of the stories, it's nice to see the part of the show that's stayed true to the talent and made sure that their stories are heard,” she told everyone. “It's just an amazing school. I had great training on "Mickey Mouse Club." I think it's affected me more on a personal level than on a professional level ... I've been able to remember the journey of where I started out.”
