Adam Levine Shades Blake Shelton’s Return to The Voice: ‘I’m Not Excited’

by

Adam Levine has a simple message for Blake Shelton.

Adam Levine, leader of Maroon 5, had a funny response when he learned that his close friend and past co-star is coming back for The Voice’s Season 27 finale on May 20 to perform during the NBC singing competition show.

Adam made it clear to TopMob News backstage on May 12th that he’s far from thrilled about Blake Shelton returning and doesn’t hold a positive opinion of him. Tune in to TopMob News tonight, May 13th at 11 p.m., for additional exclusive interviews with the coaches of The Voice.

Indeed, the singer well-known for “One More Night” was just teasing his old friend, which is typical of their playful rivalry.

However, there’s speculation about whether Adam, who came back as a coach this year following his departure from the show in 2019, might continue in that role for another season.

“Perhaps,” he stated coyly. “Maybe…if they ask me.”

Regarding the possibility of his team lifting the season 27 Voice trophy, Adam firmly believes that he, along with John Legend, Kelsea Ballerini, and Michael Bublé, each stand a strong chance of emerging victorious.

As a lifestyle expert, let me share with you my current state: I am feeling confident and energized. This upcoming challenge is undeniably tough, with some formidable opponents in the mix. However, I’m filled with optimism. My team is extraordinary – a group of individuals that I deeply admire. All I can do now is wish them the very best and offer my wholehearted support. At this stage, it’s all about trusting the process and cheering them on. The outcome, to some extent, is beyond our control. So let’s rally behind them and watch them shine!

As Adam pointed out, he’s transitioned from a coach to a cheerleader leading up to the May 20th finale. However, he hinted that Team Adam still has a few surprises in store.

During the upcoming broadcast, viewers can look forward to Adam’s meeting up again with original “The Voice” co-star Blake. However, the musician has recently disclosed details about their longstanding friendly competition that has spanned over 14 years.

He mentioned on Late Night With Seth Meyers last month that during the 2011 premiere of the series, they placed four individuals in revolving chairs, along with coaches Blake, CeeLo Green, and Christina Aguilera. At that time, he said, we all found it peculiar and were united as a team.

Initially, we began exchanging light-hearted criticisms,” he explained further. “Then, there was a particular instance where I asked him, ‘Is there anything you won’t take? Any line you won’t cross?’ He replied, ‘Feel free to hit me as hard as you can. You’ll never go beyond your limit.’ And he mostly lived up to that promise. However, I became more sensitive than he did.

Tune in to TopMob News this evening, May 13th, at 11 pm sharp, for our extensive conversation with Adam, John, and Kelsea. Meanwhile, don’t miss the finale of The Voice season 27, which will be aired on NBC at 9 pm on Tuesday, May 20th.

While we wait, continue reading to delve deeper into Blake’s romantic tale with his former colleague from “The Voice,” Gwen Stefani.

Gwen mentioned that she finds him attractive, right? However, it’s important to note that it’s quite unusual for us to have experienced the same situation at the same time. There have been numerous individuals who have provided me with solace and support. Just people opening up about their experiences, not necessarily confiding but sharing, which has really allowed me to view things from another angle and progress.

In another phrasing, Blake said during his interview in March 2018, “Why wouldn’t I not be [smitten]? She’s simply extraordinary.

When I’m feeling heartbroken, as I was in 2016, I need to express it and seek empathy from others. I hit rock bottom and felt like I was in the depths of despair…Gwen was there for me during my high-profile divorce from another musician, providing a unique understanding that few others could.”

(Note: This version maintains the original’s structure while using more straightforward language and simplifying some phrases to be easier to read.)

Gwen mentioned during her appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” in August 2020 that she spent her childhood in Orange County and hadn’t previously encountered the ranch-like atmosphere of Oklahoma. She expressed excitement at experiencing this new environment, as it was quite different from the beach-centered lifestyle she was accustomed to. In summary, Gwen found her time in Oklahoma truly remarkable.

Gwen shared with Ellen that she has a strong fondness for weddings, and both kids and herself adore him deeply. It seems everyone feels the same way, as he’s truly lovable. This thought often crosses her mind frequently.

Gwen expressed that her personal style has become more feminine than it has been in the past, attributing this change to being deeply in love with a manly partner. She admitted that during her time with No Doubt, she never thought of herself as particularly sexy and even in her 30s, she leaned towards tomboyishness, seldom carrying a handbag.

Gwen responded by saying: “Blake isn’t keen on photo shoots at all. He’s always reluctant about them. So when he called me, sounding hesitant because they wanted him for a photoshoot, I encouraged him by telling him, ‘You definitely should do it! You look amazing!’

Gwen praised SiriusXM’s Andy Cohen Live in September 2019 by saying, “He’s exceptionally skilled for the show; he’s almost like a magician. To put it another way, Blake is practically a mythical creature. Wherever he goes, people can’t help but be drawn to him, and his talent is truly extraordinary.

At this location, I’m observing Gwen Stefani’s rehearsals, and it still amazes me how many huge hits she’s composed… I strongly advise you all to catch her Vegas show if you manage to secure tickets! (Tweet from Blake in June 2018)

Blake expressed that she’s prevented him from hitting rock bottom. He described it as if he was about to plummet off a cliff, but someone grabbed him at the last moment. He had never felt such strong support from anyone who consistently stood by him. It’s an incredible feeling.”

Here’s another option:

“Blake shared that she stopped him from reaching the lowest point. It was as if he was on the verge of falling off a cliff, but then a hand reached out and saved him. He had never experienced such unwavering support from someone before, and it’s an amazing sensation.

As a child, a deep-seated desire of mine was to experience the profound love my parents shared and establish a family of my own, complete with little ones. However, this cherished dream shattered unexpectedly, leaving me in a state of bewilderment about my future path. And then, as if orchestrated by divine intervention, Blake entered my life, serving as an extraordinary miracle that breathed new life into my aspirations.

Speaking with The Guardian in November 2024, Gwen shared, “My encounter with my husband felt like a new beginning for me. After my family broke apart, it seemed like a tragic event. It was difficult to find the strength to move on. Yet, somehow, God placed another person by my side to offer love.
