Wait, we already have to say goodbye to Gwen Stefani on The Voice? On Tuesday (Oct. 14), it was announced that original coach Christina Aguilera -- who sat out the last two seasons, while Stefani and Shakira kept her swivel chair warm -- will return for season 8 early next year.

Only Adam Levine and Blake Shelton have stuck around for every iteration of the show, with CeeLo, Usher and Pharrell Williams trading off, and this latest swap has us wondering: Who is the best female judge to grace the Voice stage?
