'The Voice' 2014 Top 10 Revealed; Adam Levine Dissing Taylor Swift?
Three artists competed for the final spot in the Top 10 during the live elimination of "The Voice" last Tuesday.
Only Team Adam Levine was spared from elimination. Host Carson Daly announced that the bottom three artists are Sugar Joans of Team Pharrell Williams, Jessie Pitts of Team Blake Shelton, and Ryan Sill of Team Gwen Stefani.
Here are the highlights of the show according to PEOPLE:
1. Pitts was the first performer. After singing "Gravity," her coach, Shelton, called the singer "the sweetest person ever" and that she "is very important to [the] competition because she occupies a space no one else occupies."
2. Joans sang Whitney Houston's "I Wanna Dance with Somebody." Virginia native Sill performed "More Than Words," prompting his coach Stefani to say, "You keep getting better before everyone's eyes. Everyone's seeing how incredibly talented you are." In the end, it was Sill who made it to the Top 10.
3. The artists who made it to the Top 10 are Anita Antoinette, Taylor John Williams, Chris Jamison, Matt McAndrew, Damien, Craig Wayne Boyd, Reagan James, DaNica Shirey, Luke Wade, and lastly, Sill.
4. Earlier in the show, Daly announced that "after the three finalists are revealed later in the season, all eliminated contestants from the Top 12 will return to perform one last song and give America a chance to vote to add one singer as an additional wild card finalist," PEOPLE added.
Adam Levine Disses Taylor Swift
Everyone thought that "The Voice" coach Levine and Taylor Swift are friends, but it seems like that's not the case based on the "Animals" singer latest remark about the former country songstress.
Just recently, Levine was asked about what he thought of Swift's controversial pullout of her music from Spotify, and what he said was obviously a jab at the "Blank Space" singer, Hollywood Life reported.
"Music is for everyone. I don't care how anybody obtains it as long as they get it and enjoy and love it," the Maroon 5 frontman stated, as quoted by Hollywood Life. "Music should be able to be wherever it is. That's how I feel."
"Adam emphasized that as long as consumers are 'supporting the artist in some way,' they should be able to access music how they choose," Hollywood Life noted.
Swift previously served as a key advisor to each of the coaches during the seventh season of "The Voice." During her brief appearance on the show, Swift and Levine were often exchanging playful banters with each other. The 24-year-old country singer-turned-pop superstar also once teased Levine "about his aversion to show tunes," Hollywood Life added.
