"The Voice" Judges Fire Back at Randy Jackson


Closing out the week with a trio of talents, Ellen DeGeneres welcomed the coaches of "The Voice" to her daytime TV program for a pre-taping of an episode airing on Friday (February 3).

Grabbing seats on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" couches were Christina Aguilera, Adam Levine and Blake Shelton - who are trying their best to build up interest for their music competition series' second season debut airing after Super Bowl XLVI on February 5th.

In a preview of the sitdown interview found below, Christina, Adam and Blake voiced their resentment over critical comments made by "American Idol" judge Randy Jackson, who dubbed "The Voice" as a “second chance place."

In response, the always-outspoken Levine said, “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," the Maroon 5 rocker added.
