Christina Aguilera is elated to see 'strong women' Mariah Carey and Britney Spears judging talent shows.

The songstress is currently a panelist on US TV singing competition The Voice.

Mariah has just been confirmed to judge the next season of American Idol and Britney has been traveling across the country recently scoping out talent for The X Factor.

Christina, who performed alongside Britney as a child in television series The Mickey Mouse Club, is proud to see her peers on the panels.

'You know I love that. All these artists are coming together from all the experience that we''ve had and we''re being able to take that and feed this new wave of talent coming up,' she told Extra.

'Britney''s so talented. I mean she''s a pro. She''s been at it for a number of years now. We did grow up together. It''s actually cool that these strong women are joining the club and they''re gonna have fun. I just found out about [Mariah joining American Idol] last night, the news is fresh.'

Christina will judge along with Adam Levine, Blake Shelton and Cee Lo Green on the upcoming third season of The Voice.
