LOS ANGELES (AP) — NBC's "The Voice" is adding a high-powered rocker to the mix.

NBC said Thursday that Green Day vocalist and guitarist Billie Joe Armstrong has joined the talent contest as a mentor to Christina Aguilera's team this coming season.

In a statement, Armstrong said he and his family are fans of the show.

"The Voice" has won over viewers because "it's not molding artists, it's just giving them a little bit of guidance and direction without giving them a complete makeover," he said.

Besides, Armstrong says, working with Aguilera is "a lot of fun." He started taping Wednesday on "The Voice," which has been in production for season three since June.

As the talent contest field grows more crowded, shows are competing for big-name music stars. "American Idol" is adding Mariah Carey as a judge, and "The X Factor" signed Britney Spears and Demi Lovato.

"The Voice" returns Sept. 10.

That's good timing for Green Day: The band has three albums coming out in quick succession, with the first, "Uno!", to be released Sept. 25.

In addition to Aguilera, the show's coaches include Cee-Lo Green, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton. Carson Daly is the host.

News: Billie Joe Armstrong: "I'm Not Going to Conform to Consumer Need"

Fri, 20 Jul 2012 10:24:03

Green Day frontman Billie Joe Armstrong knows that his band releasing a trilogy of albums - Uno!, Dos! and Tres!- may seem excessive, especially in this digital day and age, but he doesn't care. Fuck consumerism!

The singer told Billboard, "I'm not going to conform to some consumer need. I believe people want to hear this kind of music, that people want to hear records that have a story. Or maybe they don't. I have no idea."

Are you excited about the trilogy?

Green Day's Billie Joe Armstrong will star in the big screen version of American Idiot, which will be adapted from the Broadway musical of the same name, which was based on the pop punk band's album. Much of the stage cast will remain in place, as director Michael Mayer, who helmed the stage version, will also direct the movie.

Armstrong will reprise his Broadway role as St. Jimmy in the movie version.

The film is due in 2013.

Are you planning to see the film based on American Idiot? Did you see the musical?
