The Voice’s Christina Aguilera, Blake Shelton and Adam Levine stopped by Ellen, (airing today), to promote their upcoming second season, when Ellen DeGeneres mentioned that American Idol judge Randy Jackson said a few things about the reality competition.
Ellen mentions, “So Randy Jackson said basically, because there are bunch of singing competitions on the air right now. Randy said that The Voice is basically kind of a second-chance place. People that don’t get in someplace else go to The Voice.”
Adam Levine replied, “I heard about this. Shame on Randy Jackson for saying that, because he out of anybody should know that if you’re in this business you need second, third, fourth and fifth chances. So we love and embrace that being part of the show. You know, God bless Randy. He was a working musician for a long time and had a lot of success and then the show Idol kind of blew him out of the water. And he is a household name now. It was an irresponsible thing to say that.”
