Randy Jackson found himself in hot water after making some pretty choice comments about “The Voice” and Season 1 winner Javier Colon. Jackson said the following at the TCA press tour..
“Idol is still the best TV show that’s come on anywhere…We’re the original. We kind of invented this whole game that everybody’s now copying. The winner of The Voice, I will remind you, [Javier Colon] was an artist who had a deal at Capital Records for several years, a failed contract…That show was almost ‘second chance people’”
That comment started a feud between Randy Jackson and Adam Levine. Adam went on ‘The Ellen DeGeneres Show’ and had this to say, “Shame on Randy Jackson for saying that. Because he of anybody should know that if you’re in the business you need second, third, fourth and fifth chances. So we love and embrace having that being part of the show.”
Well, now Randy Jackson is trying to clear the air between the two shows. Jackson went on Ellen recently and said, "it's all love”, between him and Levine. He also said that he thinks The Voice is a great show. Jackson said he was just pointing out that Idol focuses more on finding truly undiscovered talent.
He had to get one more shot in at the end, huh? Which show do you prefer? Idol or The Voice?
