Despite rolling out Justin Bieber acceptance speeches about his haters and his mom, Nicki Minaj in pink wig and fake snow, more Taylor Swift ring kissing, Christina Aguilera, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kelly Clarkson, Usher, Carrie Underwood, Ke$ha, Pink, Pitbull, Linkin Park, No Doubt and the triumphant return of MC Hammer in a “Gangman Style” dance-off with PSY, the “American Music Awards” suffered its smallest audience in its 40-year history Sunday night.

Just one week into season three, NBC is announcing big changes for cycle four. Coaches Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green will be taking next season off. Adam Levine and Blake Shelton are staying through season four.

Justin Bieber, Christina Aguilera, Mary J. Blige, Kelly Clarkson and Maroon 5 are set to perform at the American Music Awards next month. Producer Larry Klein unveiled the latest group of AMA entertainers on Monday. They join previously announced performers Katy Perry and Pitbull.

NBC says the four musician-coaches who have helped make "The Voice" a summer hit will be back for the next round of the vocal competition. NBC said Thursday that Christina Aguilera (ag-wuh-LEHR'-uh), Cee Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton will all return when "The Voice" resumes in midseason next year.
