    He’s been getting blasted for his off-the-cuff, “I hate this country” remark from “The Voice”, and Adam Levine wants to set the record straight.

    The “Never Going To Leave This Bed” crooner mumbled the comment after two of his contestants were eliminated via online voting, and he insists he wasn’t referring to a personal lack of patriotism.

    Levine told press,

    “I obviously love my country very much and my comments last night were made purely out of frustration.”

    “Being a part of The Voice, I am passionately invested in my team and want to see my artists succeed. Last night’s elimination of Judith and Sarah was confusing and downright emotional for me and my comments were made based on my personal dissatisfaction with the results.”

    Adam added, “I am very connected to my artists and know they have long careers ahead, regardless of their outcome on the show.”

    Following the show last night, Levine lamented, “I’m sad . . . and a little pissed off, to be honest. I was shocked, actually. I think they all gave us really strong performances . . . I’m really passionate about these singers and their talent and believe that maybe their talent was overshadowed by some other things.”

    Maroon 5 star Adam Levine has signed a lucrative new development deal with TV bosses at America’s NBC network after helping them win in the ratings war by judging hit show The Voice.

    Levine and his longtime manager Jordan Feldstein, the brother of movie star Jonah Hill, will create programming for NBC over the next year, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

    Announcing the news on Wednesday, NBC president of alternative and late night programming Paul Teldgy says, “It would be impossible to quantify Adam’s influence and importance to the success of The Voice. Given those enormous contributions, we’re very anxious to work with him and Jordan to see what future shows they develop that can find a home here at NBC.”

    Levine reportedly worked behind the scenes on an NBC comedy pilot set in a karaoke bar in 2011.

    The ceremony, which honors the genre’s top songwriters, will take place on May 14 in Beverly Hills.

    Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine will be presented with the President’s Award at this year’s Broadcast Music, Inc. Pop Awards, acknowledging his achievement in songwriting and his global impact on pop culture.

    “Adam has mastered the art of writing unforgettable pop and rock hits. Captivating music lovers with his undeniable and memorable lyrics and catchy melodies, Adam’s pop anthems and heartfelt ballads are defining an exciting brand of global stardom,” said BMI vice president and general manager, Barbara Cane.

    Previous recipients of the President’s Award include Taylor Swift, Gloria Estefan, Willie Nelson, Emilio, Pitbull, Juanes and Kike Santander.

    Maroon 5 boasts over 17 million in record sales, and have gone gold and platinum in over 35 countries. Their latest album, Overexposed, has risen to the top of the charts, and the band’s latest single, “Daylight,” has reached No. 1 on the Top 40 chart.

    In 2011, Levine also became the first artist in the Billboard Hot 100′s 53-year history to reach No. 1 as part of a group, with Maroon 5′s “Moves Like Jagger,” while simultaneously entering the Top 10 as a soloist, as he was featured on and co-wrote Gym Class Heroes’ top single, “Stereo Hearts.”

    Levine can currently be seen as a coach on the fourth season of NBC’s The Voice and was recently featured in a THR cover story.

    The 61st annual BMI Pop Awards are slated for May 14 in Beverly Hills and will honor the top pop songwriters of 2012.

    Maroon 5 and Kelly Clarkson are set to hit the road together this summer for an exciting tour!

    The band will be headlining the 2013 Honda Civic Tour, kicking off August 1 in St. Louis and wrapping up on October 5 in San Diego.

    Kelly will be a featured guest on the whole tour along with Adam Levine‘s The Voice contestant Tony Lucca.

    “I think the live outdoor kind of summer vibe is always different than the indoor arena tour because there’s less emphasis on production and more on live music,” Adam said in an interview. “It’s kind of the purist form of a tour `cause there’s not too many bells and whistles.”

    Adam and Matthew Morrison Recording a Duet

    Category: News&Rumors

    New collaboration coming up! Matthew Morrison and Adam Levine were spotted at Capitol Studios together Feb. 9, and a source tells Us Weekly they’re working on a duet.

    The Maroon 5 frontman, 33, and Glee star, 34, are recording a cover of “Luck Be a Lady,” the source tells Us. The song was written by Frank Loesser in 1950, and was featured in the musical Guys and Dolls. It also became one of Frank Sinatra’s signature hits.

    The new track will appear on Morrison’s upcoming album, which is under Levine’s label, 222 Records.

    “Starting my own label has been a long time goal of mine and I am thrilled to be at the point in my career where it is finally happening,” the “Moves Like Jagger” singer said in a statement earlier this month. “I am excited for everyone to hear Matthew’s forthcoming album. Great things are in store for him with this release.”

    And Morrison, who previously released a self-titled album in May 2011 with Mercury Records, was happy to sign on. “Adam and I share the same vision as we begin working on my record together,” he said in a statement.

    The two hunks have been pals for a few years. “Matthew wanted to make a Broadway standards record,” the source tells Us of Morrison, who starred in many Broadway shows before landing Glee. “And Adam loves classic records.”

    MTV Style Interview

    Whether he’s singing, judging The Voice, or, ahem, just making sure his fragrance doesn’t become “celebrity bulls***,” Adam Levine is a guy who KNOWS what he wants. So it should go without saying, then, that his new 222 clothing line for Kmart is going to be no less directional than what we’re used to seeing from the Maroon 5 frontman. The only difference? This time around, he’s taking inspiration from you! To jump start the design process the singer is asking fans to submit ideas, drawings, notes, whatever, on Shop Your Way for the chance to win an autographed guitar (because let’s be real: everyone needs a little inspiration sometimes, even famous musicians…). Just in time for the launch of the contest, Adam sat down with us in New York to talk 222, why not all t-shirts are created equal, and why he’d NEVER be caught dead in another celeb line. Read our interview below!

    MTV Style: You’ve dabbled in fashion and fashion lines before, so what inspired you to come out with a new label now with Kmart?

    ADAM LEVINE: You know, I just thought that it would be the right time. I’ve just always thought it would be cool to have a line that reflected your personal taste. I have a lot of opinions on everything but fashion in particular.

    “I was so happy that Hillary was interested in coming on ‘The Voice’ to mentor my team,” Adam told Access. “Maroon 5 and I recorded a song with her for our last studio album and we had a great time collaborating in the studio.”

    Adding, “She is an incredible performer and artist. I know my team will be able to learn a lot from her.”

    Hillary – who married drummer Chris Tyrrell in January 2012 and is expecting a baby this summer – is also looking forward to work with Adam again.

    “I was so excited to join Adam for a couple days on ‘The Voice,’” the “Just A Kiss” singer told Access. “It’s an honor to mentor his team… he’s going to have some tough choices to make!”

    And the expectant mom even threw a friendly barb at fellow country superstar (and “Voice” coach) Blake Shelton, adding, “I’m sure [we'll have] way more fun than Blake’s team!”

    Adam’s past guest mentors have included Alanis Morissette, Robin Thicke, Mary J. Blige and Maroon 5 musical director Adam Blackstone.

    Adam Levine Fragrance

    The singer’s edgy new fragrance launch includes both women’s and men’s scents in cleverly designed microphone-inspired bottles.

    Who would have thought that Adam Levine, 33, would come out with a celebrity fragrance — never mind two! After all, it wasn’t too long ago that he sent out a Tweet joking, “I also would like to put an official ban on celebrity fragrances. Punishable by death from this point forward.” So what changed? ”I didn’t want it to be another bulls**t celebrity fragrance that I was hocking, that I didn’t believe in,” he told WWD. “At the end of the day, I can definitely say I wanted to change the perception of that. On paper, I’m not a fan of the [genre], but I got excited having conversations with ID Perfumes.”
