Cyrus appeared on the March 28 episode of the show as an advisor to the contestants. The newest episode of 鈥淰oice鈥 featured the 鈥渒nockout rounds,鈥 in which two singers compete to be selected by the judges to proceed in the competition.聽

The current season premiered in late February. The judges for this season, the show's 10th, are country singer Blake Shelton, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, singer Christina Aguilera, and Pharrell Williams of 鈥淗appy.鈥

Cyrus and singer Alicia Keys will be joining the judging panel next season, teaming up with Mr. Shelton and Mr. Levine.聽

How will Cyrus perform as a judge?

wrote approvingly of the 鈥淲recking Ball鈥 singer鈥檚 appearance on the most recent 鈥淰oice鈥 episode. 鈥淪eems like it鈥檚 going to be good,鈥 Ms. Reiter wrote of Cyrus鈥檚 time as a judge. 鈥淎nd it鈥檚 going to be fun. And it appears as if Cyrus鈥 guidance will be truly useful to the contestants.鈥 The advice Cyrus dispensed was specific and helpful and really seemed to have a positive effect on the contestants鈥 performances. And the fact that she appeared to be enjoying herself was cool, too.鈥

agreed, writing that Cyrus 鈥渙ffered more specific, actionable, insightful advice over the course of the episode than Adam, Pharrell, Blake and [Christina] combined.鈥澛

is also excited to see what Cyrus and Ms. Keys will bring to the program.

鈥淭his casting could mean great things for the show,鈥 Ms. Yahr wrote, noting that two female judges have never served at the same time on the show.

鈥淭he Voice鈥 has done well with young viewers in the past, though Yahr notes that that viewership for the show has dropped slightly. Adding Cyrus could bring in that demographic. 鈥淚f her MTV VMAs appearances are any indication, Cyrus 鈥 the youngest judge in 鈥榁oice鈥 history 鈥 loves to go rogue and pull stunts on camera," Yahr wrote. "鈥楾he Voice鈥 switches over to live shows about halfway through the season, so that's quite the added incentive for viewers to tune in to see whatever crazy thing she might do or say....聽Cyrus boasts a fiercely loyal 鈥 and extremely young 鈥 audience.鈥
