IB on Idol, Voice

TV IS THE NEW RADIO: Idol returns to Fox on Jan. 18 in the second season for Jimmy Iovine and his team, who mentored Langone and eventual winner Scotty McCreery (now nearing 900k) on their first go-round. NBC’s surprise hit The Voice will have its second-season premiere following the Super Bowl on Feb. 5. Insiders predict that Christina Aguilera will have her revitalizing moment this season, as fellow coach Adam Levine did on the show’s inaugural run. Aguilera’s upcoming RCA album is generating a strong early buzz, thanks to the infectious uptempo track she recorded with hitmaker Max Martin. Will The Voice be used as a platform to break the single before going to radio, a la “Moves Like Jagger”? (1/12a)
