The Voice Recap: Adam Levine Steals Another Singer
Is it just us or has the addition of Kelly Clarkson given The Voice a new lease on life? All shows go through testing times at one point or another.
The last few seasons of The Voice have just been there, with little in the way of exciting performers that make lasting impressions.
But there’s something about the addition of Kelly that’s making the feedback considerably more constructive and beneficial to the performers.
Could it be down to the fact that she came from American Idol and knew what it was like to be on the other side of the stage?
Perhaps.
It is hilarious that ABC tried to poach her for American Idol, which, by the way, has actually been a fun revival.
Let’s break down the next three battles that took place on Tuesday night’s episode of this NBC juggernaut.
Team Kelly: Jorge Eduardo vs. Amber Sauer – “Starving”
Kelly paired these two because she felt like they showed the most passion for their singing, and that would make for the fairest battle of the entire series.
Some coaches pair two polar opposites together, and it comes across as unfair. Maybe that’s why the process is still very flawed after all these years.
Jorge decided to surprise Kelly by adding a new section into the hit song, and it was needed. It set him above Amber, but if he hadn’t added that part, it would have been too difficult to call who was going to win.
Amber still sang like a pro, but she never managed to upstage Jorge, and that’s why she never got to stay on the team. The biggest shocker was that there was no steal.
Winner: Jorge
Team Adam: Reid Umstattd vs. Davison – “Love On the Brain”
This pair went with the Rihanna hit, and it was a solid, but unspectacular performance. The good thing was that it was fair to put them together.
Because neither of them was better than the other, it made it difficult for Adam to pick which of them to advance to the next stage of the competition.
Winner: Reid
Team Alicia: Kelsea Johnson vs. Jordyn Simone – “Don’t Let Go”
This one was a real head-scratcher. Both performances were poised to be the best of the night, but they both had their fair share of flaws.
They both shouted their way through the performance, and it made it difficult to tell who was singing. It was a disappointing performance.
Winner: Kelsea Johnson
Steal: Jordyn Simone to Team Adam
Despite Adam struggling to find some decent performers at the auditions, he has been building up a solid team through the steals.
What did you think of the episode?
The Voice continues Monday on NBC.

The Voice Recap: Is Adam Levine Doomed?
The Blind Auditions continued last night on The Voice, and that meant there was another batch of sub-par performers given the opportunity to advance to the next stage of the competition.
Granted, most of the dull performances hailed from Team Adam.
Also odd: ABC aired American Idol opposite The Voice. Do we really need these two shows fighting it out for more viewers than the other?
Let’s break down the performances!
Stephanie Skipper – “Piece by Piece”
Stephanie plucked up the courage to perform a Kelly Clarkson number in front of Kelly herself, and it was a robust performance that was different enough from the original to set herself apart.
Kelly did not seem impressed and didn’t turn her chair around. Luckily, Adam snapped the Nashville native up for his team.
Tish Haynes Keys – “Chain of Fools”
Tish opened up about falling pregnant at just 14 years old, and she claimed that it changed her life. Her performance was solid, but not spectacular.
“You just killed Aretha Franklin!” said a shocked Kelly. Alas, she joined Team Adam.
Bransen Ireland – “Tulsa Time”
The first big miss of the night came in the form of Bransen. His vocals were most certainly not up there as the best, but he seemed like a natural fit for Team Blake.
The troubling thing about it was that Blake failed to turn around initially, and it took him some time to get on board with all of it.
Teana Boston – “Unfaithful”
Teana could have fooled us if she hit the stage and said she was a guest performer. She was polished and had a significant stage presence.
She should make it far into the competition, but this show has been known to cut acts in their prime. Maybe Team Kelly will serve her well.
Miya Bass – “Issues”
While Miya Bass may have charisma for days, her song choice was way off for her audition. There was nothing about it that made her seem like a marketable artist.
Adam’s team is beginning to look like the go-to place for the contestants who are just not great at performing.
Jordan Kirkdorffer – “In Case You Didn’t Know”
This was another one of those middle of the road performances. We’re sure there must have been better contestants than Jordan to put through.
We’re sure if he performed a pop song, he would not have joined Team Kelly … or any of the other coaches for that matter.
Shana Halligan – “Bang Bang (My Baby Shot Me Down)”
After a string of downright dreadful performances, Shana appeared and reignited my interest in the show. Her vocals tugged at the heart because they were so beautiful.
Team Alicia is the perfect place for her.
Gary Edwards – “What’s Going On”
Gary was ready to graduate from the church stage to the bigger stages that would propel him to stardom. His voice matched up, and he proved he has what it takes to become a professional singer.
At least Adam finally got someone on his team who could make it far.
Hannah Goebel – “If I Ain’t Got You”
In true The Voice fashion, the show left the best for last. Hannah scaled a lot of vocal heights throughout. We may very well have a finalist right here, you guys!
What did you think of the latest performances?
Sound off below.

Adam Levine Buys $35 Million House from "Will and Grace" Creator

Adam Levine Welcomes Baby #2 ... Will He Leave The Voice?
Just a couple of days ago, Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo welcomed the birth of their second child, a daughter with a very unique name.
Many have wondered if the demands of being a father of two young girls will finally tear him away from his swiveling chair on The Voice.
But apparently NBC is pulling out all of the stops — and by stops we mean cash — to entice him to stay. Will it work?
Fans rejoiced at the news that Blake Shelton and Behati Prinsloo were expecting baby #2.
Their first young daughter, Dusty, is still a very little girl, so these two sweet girls will be very close in age. Dusty Rose is, for the record, 16 months old.
And this second baby is named Geo Grace Levine.
But … how much of their childhoods is Adam prepared to miss with his work on The Voice?
Though obviously he and Behati have the means to provide childcare for their children no matter what their schedules might be, that can mean missing valuable bonding time.
Is being on a talent competition show really worth missing your daughter’s first word?
It’s worth noting that a number of factors aside from fatherhood might draw Adam away from the show, and that he’s not the only one.
For example, new judge Kelly Clarkson has been accused of “diva” behavior behind the scenes on The Voice. That doesn’t really match her brand, but one could imagine how fame and success can go to just about anyone’s head.
Then, of course, there are rumors that Blake Shelton might quit The Voice … and reports that the Country crooner has gained an inflated sense of self-importance since going on the show, and may now believe that he’s too good for it.
There have also been rumors for a while now that Blake and Adam dislike each other on a personal level, one well beyond playful rivalry for cameras.
Overall, The Voice isn’t the same as it was when Levine joined it — so why would he stay when he could be at home with his stunning wife and two beautiful daughters?
As it turns out, the answer to that might be simple: money.
RadarOnline reports that Adam Levine has been offered a lot of money by NBC in an effort to get him to remain on The Voice.
Specifically, a massive bonus of $ 500,000.
That might seem like pocket change to a guy whose net worth is estimated to be somewhere in the range of $ 60 million.
But remember that he’s believed to make somewhere from $ 10 million to $ 12 million per cycle of the show. So this is a bonus, like sprinkles on ice cream.
(We won’t say icing on the cake, as cake without icing is just pointless bread)
Why are execs at NBC so desperate to keep Adam Levine that they’re paying him so much?
Apparently, when word first reached fans that Adam might consider leaving the show, fans protested. In a very vocal manner.
Many longtime fans of The Voice, which has always had a rotating cast, that the show just wouldn’t be the same without Adam Levine.
For what it’s worth, many of them said the same about Blake Shelton. Probably a different group of fans.
The Voice‘s fandom sure is passionate.
Of course, not everyone has a lot of confidence in Adam Levine’s fathering skills.
Recently, he was slammed for “naked time” with his young daughter.
While plenty of folks might love to be in the room with a naked Adam Levine, they point out that Dusty Rose is too old to see her father naked.
That’s bordering on a taboo that exists for a very good reason, but many parents bathe with their children who are babies. It is unlikely, though possible, that Dusty will grow up remembering what her dad looks like naked.
Hopefully.

Adam Levine: Slammed for Naked Time with Daughter!
When it comes to parent-shaming, some parents get scolded for the color scheme of their house or when they stop breastfeeding. Other parents get visits by social workers.
Behati Prinsloo shared this photo of Adam Levine and the couple’s daughter, Dusty Rose. And, well, they’re both very, very naked.
So, yeah, fans in the comments are absolutely outraged.
Adam Levine has admitted to not knowing what he’s doing when it comes to parenting — which is pretty common, especially with first-time parents.
It may be that he and Prinsloo don’t quite know how to predict how people will react to things.
Prinsloo shared the photo below, censoring the butts with peach emojis.
(Instagram allows butts, but posting your child’s butt is weird and we’re guessing that Adam Levine didn’t feel like broadcasting his booty)
Now, to be clear, not every reaction was negative.
In fact, the first few were just … thirsty.
“How many people have tried to zoom into the reflection to see Adam’s [eggplant emoji].”
No, you cannot see Adam Levine’s penis by zooming in. But you get points for trying.
Here’s the photo:
As you can imagine, the controversy has less to do with Adam Levine himself as the fact that he’s very naked beside his child.
“‘I’m so confused, everyone is saying #goals…. but I find this very disturbing, like is his man junk all out in front of his daughter.”
Different cultures have different societal norms, but between the incest taboo and increasing awareness of sexual predators, a lot of parents avoid being naked around their children.
Some commenters got into arguments with more supportive fans:
“Do you have a picture like this with your father? It’s disturbing and that’s my opinion so hop all the way off.”
This next commenter didn’t focus so much on Levine’s daughter as on Levine being praised:
“Just because he is a man everyone will idolize him, if it was a woman in the picture they would hate her, this is very sad to see.”
That’s a fair point. We’ve seen countless women demonized for nude photos — even for censored ones.
Other comments, though, expressed revulsion at the idea of nudity shared by a father and daughter.
“[Foul] and sick.”
Some comments were short and harsh:
“Child pornography.”
To be clear, think what you will, but it is literally not child pornography.
“This is child abuse!!!! Plan and simple. And posting this now n the midst of pedafilia claims. No child wants to be naked with their dad. Shame!!!!!”
And here comes our favorite comment under the Instagram post:
“White people.”
Some commenters came to Levine’s defense:
“My father left me when I was young. I have a lot of photos from age 2-4 And I am naked on the garden with my family. I have 1 y.o. son and I am taking bath in front of him, is it disturbing too?”
People who find Adam Levine disturbing would say “yes,” we’d imagine.
“You’re amazing, Behati. So is your adorable family.”
It was Behati Prinsloo who shared the photo of her husband and daughter.
“Beautiful Father/ Daughter pic!! Memories made.”
This comment weirded us out. See, hopefully there were not any memories made.
“I think the only sick here is your thoughts about this lovely family!”
Again, people got into arguments, retorting to critical comments:
“Only for an obnoxious person with a dirty mind.”
Some were very insistent that people lay off.
“The evil is in the eye of the beholder! Respect them! They are a healthy and happy family!!!!!”
Dusty Rose Levine is 14 months old. That is absolutely old enough to form memories, but the odds are pretty good that she won’t remember bathtime with dad.
Or, more to the point: by the time that she’s old enough to understand what a penis is or to recoil at the thought of her father having one, hopefully Dusty Rose will have zero memory of this.
Plenty of parents bathe with their babies. Plenty of parents do not. And, at 14 months, Dusty is absolutely still a baby.
But we’ll admit to it being a weird photo.

Adam Levine and Behati Prinsloo: Baby #2 on Tap!
Adam Levine now has a very special reason to sing a very happy tune:
He will soon be a father once again!
The talented singer and beloved coach on The Voice is expecting his second child with wife Behati Prinsloo, as confirmed by the latter via Instagram on Wednesday night.
“ROUND 2…..” the model simply wrote as a caption to a photo of herself in a bikini yesterday, her baby bump on full and beautiful display.
This will be the second child for Prinsloo and Levine, who welcomed a baby girl named Dusty Rose one year ago in September 2016.
“She’s heaven… and she’s sassy!” Prinsloo told E! News at this spring’s Met Gala, adding at the time:
“She says like ‘mama’ [and] ‘dada,’ but I don’t think she knows what it means yet. But there’s a few words.”
An insider, meanwhile, tells People Magazine the following:
“Adam and Behati are so happy to be adding another baby to their family. They’re amazing parents and their loved ones are thrilled for them.”
Levine and Prinsloo got engaged in 2013 and then got married in 2014 in San José del Cabo, Mexico.
They are one of the more underrated and more adorable couples in Hollywood.
Just consider what Levine wrote about his better half on Instagram last month:
“Every once in a while, the stars align…The mood is right, the lighting is flawless, and the expressions on our faces speak a thousand words without uttering a single syllable.
“I’m not saying it’s the perfect photo. But I’ll be damned if it ain’t as close as anyone has even come. #truth”
Why was this both funny and sweet?
Because it was a caption to the following image:
HA!
Like we said: we love these two!
As for Dusty Rose? She made her debut at Levine’s Hollywood Walk of Fame ceremony back in February.
During his speech, the artist told the crowd:
“I have a daughter, I have the most beautiful wife in the entire world. I am one of the luckiest people who’s ever lived and it has nothing to do with me.
“It has to do with the people who love me the most and so I thank all of those people. I can’t do it individually, but I thank you all.”
This guy is pretty awesome.
Congrats to him and his wife!

Adam Levine Posts Tongue-in-Cheek Tribute to Behati Prinsloo, Internet Swoons
A good sense of humor is key to most relationships. Unfettered adoration doesn’t hurt, either.
Adam Levine managed to combine both in an unapologetic (yet playful) miniature love letter that he wrote to his wife, Behati Prinsloo.
While Adam Levine says he doesn’t know what he’s doing when it comes to being a parent, he seems to understand romance. The internet is swooning over, well, how much he’s swooning.
Adam Levine proved that Instagram is for more than just showing off Behati Prinsloo’s baby bump, and not just because she isn’t pregnant at the moment.
He shared a photo of himself and his gorgeous model wife, Behati, on Instagram.
While the picture is definitely important, it’s the caption that has people over the moon:
“Every once in a while, the stars align…The mood is right, the lighting is flawless, and the expressions on our faces speak a thousand words without uttering a single syllable. I’m not saying it’s the perfect photo. But I’ll be damned if it ain’t as close as anyone has even come. #truth”
That’s so sweet, right?
But you should really, really look at the photo to truly understand what he’s getting at:
Like we said — a sense of humor is pretty damn important.
Behati Prinsloo gave birth to their first child, Dusty Rose Levine, late last September, so she’s just over ten months old.
New parenthood can be overwhelming but intensely rewarding.
You’re basically living on perpetual exhaustion but also a perpetual oxytocin high.
(Okay, maybe high isn’t the word, but it’s quite a rush)
They even shared pictures of Dusty Rose.
Too cute, you guys. Too cute.
We should note that this comes in the aftermath of a seriously dark point for this couple.
Recently, Adam Levine was accused of physically abusing both his baby and his wife, though we don’t know who made the accusations.
Specifically, of striking his baby in the face and of hitting his wife so hard that it knocked her to the ground.
(Sadly, those are both very real things that happen more than anyone would care to believe; there is real evil in this world)
Investigators from social services were unable to find any proof that this was true — which means that Behati must have denied them and that they must have found no signs of physical injury.
We’re not going to pretend that denials equal exoneration or that we know what goes on behind anyone’s closed doors.
We’ve read too many news stories and heard too many people’s first-hand accounts of their childhoods to give any parent an unquestioning pass just because they seem nice or seem to be wildly in love when they’re sharing photos with the world.
But every now and then, rare though it may be, a false accusation might get made.
If we knew that this accusation came from Behati or a pediatrician or something, that would be entirely different.
Instead, we have what social service investigators apparently determined was a false complaint, that for all that we know may have been targeted at Adam Levine because of his celebrity status.
If that’s what happened, it’s the worst kind of crank call that we’ve ever heard of.
And it will make it harder for the world to believe reports of real abuse that happens every day in millions of households across the US.
Anyway, sorry for that total bummer, but we had to mention it since this post of Adam’s came so soon in the wake of that last report.
We think that Adam Levine’s Instagram tribute to his wife better represents the man that fans have known him as over his very long career.
He can come across as a douche because of his wealthy lifestyle and habit of dating models, but that’s usually just resentment talking rather than a reflection of his personality.
The guy feuds with Miley Cyrus, which probably won him at least a few fans who’ve never once listened to Maroon 5.
He’s also a huge advocate for LGBT rights and has been for a long time.
So we didn’t need Adam Levine’s precious tribute to his wife and that goofy picture to adore him.
But it sure helps.
They really do make a precious couple.

Adam Levine Pays Touching Tribute to Christina Grimmie on The Voice
Back in June of 2016, up-and-coming pop singer and former The Voice contestant Christina Grimmie was murdered while signing autographs for fans following a concert in Orlando.
She was just 22 years old.
Grimmie was a tremendous talent at the beginning of what was likely to be an extraordinary career.
More importantly, however, those closest to Christina say that she"ll be remembered as a truly kind and generous soul who sang out of a pure desire to share her gift with the world.
During her time on The Voice, Christina was coached by Adam Levine, who continued to mentor the young singer as she embarked on a recording career.
Last night, with Grimmie"s parents and brother front and center, Levine and his team honored Christina with a moving rendition of the Beatles" "Hey Jude."
"I miss her, it"s unfair that she"s not here and we"re gonna sing her a little song tonight, and I"m going to be singing every word to her in her honor," Levine told Christina"s family.
In March, Christina"s parents thanked her fans for their support and announced that their daughter"s first full-length studio album, All Is Vanity, will be released on June 2 to coincide with National Gun Violence Awareness Day.
Christina was shot to death by an obsessed fan, and her parents say they"ll spend the rest of their days wondering how her death could have been prevented.
Watch Levine and his team"s moving tribute to Grimmie in the clip below:

Adam Levine Physically ABUSING Month-Old Daughter and Wife?
Adam Levine, Maroon 5 frontman, The Voice ingenue, and seemingly all-around good guy was at the center of an extremely nasty child services investigation earlier this month.
The allegations against him concerning his four-week-old daughter and supermodel wife, Behati Prinsloo, were disturbing to say the least.
TMZ reported that a complaint was called into the Los Angeles Police department alleging that Levine physically struck both his wife and his newborn baby.
It was alleged that Levine had “hit his one-month-old baby girl in the face,” and “struck his wife so hard it knocked her to the ground.”
TMZ claimed that family services paid a visit to the Levine household to investigate domestic violence and child abuse, and found no injuries consistent with the allegations.
After the investigation was completed, family services determined that the allegations were unfounded, and thusly, thrown out.
It was reported that “someone” close to the situation said that the allegations and subsequent investigation was “unfair,” and that the singer was targeted because he was famous.
According to the investigation, the case is closed and family services will not proceed to push the matter further.
Adam recently vented about parenthood, and claimed that he had no idea what he was doing.
In a recent interview, he asked, “I’ve been a parent for three weeks; what do I know?”
“I don’t know anything,” he continued, “but it’s kind of part of the beauty of it, honestly.”
He continued, “There are a lot of instincts, a lot of things that kind of kick in and switch on.”
“It’s a beautiful experience,” he reflected.
It is a beautiful experience – and it’s absolutely disgusting that someone would call up and make these kinds of allegations when they’re not true, but especially about a newborn baby that’s not even months old yet.
Adam might seem like a douche master, only dating super models and living the lush life, but you can’t hold it against him enough to punish him for enjoying the fruits of his labor.
… And you especially can’t threaten a father who’s clearly shown nothing but love for both his adoring wife and his beautiful baby.
Some people, man.

Adam Levine and Miley Cyrus: Feud Gets WORSE Between "The Voice" Co-Stars!
Miley Cyrus may be new to The Voice team, but she’s reportedly behaving as though she’s been on the NBC hit show since day 1.
Stories about on-set tensions between Cyrus and veteran Adam Levine have been going on since Cyrus was added to the judges line-up back in April.
Now, a production source tells Radar Online, things are going from bad to worse.
“Adam and Miley are at each other’s throats this season and Adam acts like he cannot stand her,” the source said.
“He does not talk to her when the cameras are not rolling, and seems like he really wants nothing to do with her.”
What makes this feud unique?
“Miley showed up like she owned the place and Adam seems just really tired of her interjecting every single time he is speaking!” the source claimed.
And even though Alicia Key is also a new addition, she’s formed an alliance with Levine.
“Alicia has taken Adam’s side in his stance against Miley,” the source added.
“They have kind of made a pact to help each other out and side with each other to make sure that Team Miley does NOT win this season!”
That seems like something that two adults would do.
Back in April, Us Weekly reported on the same thing, pointing out that both parties basically act like children.
“They both have short attention spans. They find each other annoying,” a source told Us.
“Adam would get agitated when Miley would interrupt him, and she enjoyed getting under his skin.”
Levine was rumored to have a fairly tumultuous relationship with his old co-star, Christina Aguilera, but the two have since buried the hatchet.
And of course, there’s Levine’s buddy, Blake Shelton, who just wants everyone to have a good time.
Shelton told Chelsea Handler earlier this summer that although he didn’t know Cyrus well, he does know her dad, Billy Ray.
“I’ve known her dad for years, and so it’s like — ‘I’m gonna call your dad! I will tell your dad what an a**hole you’re being right now, so you better settle down, missy!"”
YA BURNT, Miley. Also, you’re grounded.

Adam Levine to Pay for Christina Grimmie Funeral
Adam Levine has offered to do whatever he can to help the family of Christina Grimmie in this time of unspeakable sorrow.
The Maroon 5 frontman got to know Grimmie well during her run on The Voice in 2014, serving as her coach for several weeks on the NBC singing competition.
On Friday night, however, Grimmie was shot and killed by a deranged fan while signing autographs after a concert in Orlando.
In response to the tragedy, Levine reached out to Grimmie’s mother and said he wanted to pay for all funeral arrangements.
“I found out this morning, that Adam Levine personally called my mother and said he will pay for the funeral and her plane flight, and I was blown away,” Christina’s brother, Marcus, wrote on Facebook yesterday.
It was Marcus who wrestled Kevin James Loibl to the ground after he first opened fire on Friday, saving the lives of those around him before Loibl turned a gun on himself and pulled the trigger.
Grimmie was taken to a local hospital and pronounced dead a few hours later.
Levine, who shared the above photo and message soon after this sad news was made public, is just one of several celebrities who have expressed their grief over Grimmie’s death online.
Selena Gomez, whose stepfather served as Grimmie’s manager for a time and who toured the country with Grimmie, wrote on social media that she’s “absolutely broken” over the murder.
“This is a tragic loss,” Pharrell added. “My heart goes out to @therealgrimmie’s family, friends and all the people that she touched.”
Usher, meanwhile, wrote the following:
“To an amazing soul and voice…may your legacy live on forever. Rest in peace beautiful, Christina.”
Selena’s stepfather, Brian Teefey, also started a GoFundMe page for Grimmie’s family; it has already raised more than $ 150,000 to help them shoulder any financial burdens.
“Words cannot begin to describe the pain I am feeling. I learned this business through the eyes of a father and Christina was like a second daughter to me,” Teefey wrote.
At a candlelight vigil for Grimmie held in her New Jersey hometown of Evesham Township on Monday night, Marcus moved attendees to tears by speaking eloquently and emotionally after his late sister.
“She loved this town, she loved this state, she loved singing, she loved the Lord and she loved me and she was my baby sister,” he said, concluding:
“Adam Levine paid for Christina’s funeral. Selena [Gomez] is singing a song and crying [during her concert]. These people didn’t have that and we are blessed to.
“She’s in a better place…. Thank you to everyone once again. I wish I could elaborate more, you guys didn’t know her like I did, so thank you. This is awesome.”

Miley Cyrus vs. Adam Levine Feud Heats Up on Set of The Voice!
From the moment it was first announced that Miley Cyrus would be a judge on The Voice, many fans of the show began expressing their belief that the former Hannah Montana and would be a poor fit for the show and might be more at home judging the High Times Cannabis Cup.
Sources are now claiming some of Miley’s own co-stars share that opinion Cyrus has reportedly been feuding with Adam Levine since her first day on set.
The first reports of this epic clash of egos had Levine “nit-picking” Miley’s decisions and advice to the contestants.
Miley – never the type to shy away from conflict – has refused to back down from Adam, who reportedly has a long history of diva-like behavior on set, and is not happy about a newcomer threatening his position of power.
“Adam and Miley were non-stop bickering during their last taping together,” a source close to the show tells Radar Online.
“He nitpicks almost every single thing she says. Adam seems to find Miley to be extremely loud-mouthed and absolutely annoying!”
Apparently, Levine’s pride is such a precious, fragile thing that producers are beginning to regret bringing Miley on board.
“Executives are now second-guessing their decision to bring Miley Cyrus on full time because she cannot get along with Adam to save her life,” the source says.
Sigh. If only they’d listened to her lyrics before they hired her, they’d have known that Miley would come in like a wrecking ball.

“Adam and Miley were non-stop bickering during their last taping together,” a source close to the show tells Radar Online.
“He nitpicks almost every single thing she says. Adam seems to find Miley to be extremely loud-mouthed and absolutely annoying!”
Apparently, Levine’s pride is such a precious, fragile thing that producers are beginning to regret bringing Miley on board.
“Executives are now second-guessing their decision to bring Miley Cyrus on full time because she cannot get along with Adam to save her life,” the source says.
Sigh. If only they’d listened to her lyrics before they hired her, they’d have known that Miley would come in like a wrecking ball.
