Now that the new series of The Voice USA is on the horizon, new panelists Shakira and Usher have opened up about what they intend to bring to the table.

Speaking during a press conference about their involvement in the show, the two new coaches explained that it's set to be an exciting project that they can't wait to get stuck in to. The 'Hips Don't Lie' star said:

"Once we are in the process of trying to get a contestant recruited for our team, there's a lot of adrenaline and there's a lot of tension. When I'm giving directions to my contestants, I'm particularly focused on details."

Usher also described her as "comic relief, super f-cking serious, and gangster," adding that "she's so nice now but she really pulls out that switchblade in the battle."

Current judge Adam Levine praised Usher's head for talent and admitted that he's looking forward to working along side him as he's already managed to find and launch an incredible superstar in Justin Bieber:

"As much as I hate to say this about another coach in the beginning, Usher has done what this show has yet to do - launch a superstar and that's our goal. That's something we want to do as an institution."
