“I’m going to provide a global perspective,” Derulo said, explaining his game plan.

“Obviously they are musicians from Australia but the way the music industry has changed, there are no rules anymore.”

He said the contestants should not be labeled as future local stars.

“I think more than ever, the lines are blurring so there is an opportunity for a global star to emerge from this.”

Jason, who grew up inlorida, became a star in 2009 with his first single Whatcha Say which was a #1 hit in the US.

Since then, he has sold over 250 million singles worldwide including the hits Weigel, The Horns, and It Girl.

Keith said last October that he was trying to balance his schedule and wife Nicole Kidman, 55 (R) so they could take their children to visit their grandparents and extended family for the Christmas holidays.

He has also written tunes for Diddy and rapper Lil Wayne, and currently has 57 million followers on TikTok.

Meanwhile, Urban said he quit The Voice because he wanted to spend time with his family and tour Australia.
