Miley Cyrus and Alicia Keys will get red chairs as new judges on NBC's "The Voice" next September.

The network said it will be the first time the four-person judging panel will have two women 鈥� in previous seasons there were three male judges. Cyrus and Keys will join mainstays country star Blake Shelton and Maroon 5 lead singer Adam Levine on one of television's most popular reality shows.

Both women have experience with the show. Cyrus is an adviser this season and Keys was a mentor during a previous season.

While Shelton and Levine have been regulars, NBC tends to rotate other judges dependent upon their schedules 鈥� so other judges like Christina Aguilera, Pharrell and Gwen Stefani remain in the bullpen. Stefani has been serving as a mentor this season.

"The Voice" usually runs neck-and-neck with "Dancing With the Stars" as television's most popular competition shows, but crushes the ABC show among younger viewers. "The Voice" has passed by Fox's "American Idol," which is airing its last episode next month.

Previous advisors on the show include Taylor Swift and聽Coldplay lead singer Chris Martin, 海角大神 notes.

鈥淰oice鈥� debuted in 2011 and became a hit for its network. The show arrived in a post-鈥淎merican Idol鈥� TV landscape where 鈥淚dol鈥� itself was still on and competitors such as 鈥淭he X Factor鈥� were still on the scene. With 鈥淴鈥� now canceled and 鈥淚dol鈥� airing its final season, however, 鈥淰oice鈥� now dominates the landscape.

It continues to do well in the ratings, ranking as one of the top ten highest-rated TV shows for the 2014-2015 TV season in the valued demographic of viewers between 18 and 49 years old.聽

In addition, in comparison to 鈥淚dol,鈥� the music competition that dominated the genre and TV in general for so long, 鈥淚dol鈥� has various celebrity judges, but on 鈥淰oice,鈥� contestants are assigned to a certain judge who gives them advice on how to succeed.聽

Judge Shelton said he was interested in the program because of this aspect.

鈥淚t鈥檚 not showcasing people who [are less talented] and making a mockery of anybody,鈥� Shelton said in聽. 鈥淚t鈥檚 just about good singers who all get that it鈥檚 a competition show.鈥�
