The brewing feud between American Idol and The Voice, which returns for a second season after the Super Bowl Sunday night, shows no signs of simmering down.
Coach/judge Adam Levine is taking Idol's Randy Jackson to task for saying NBC’s upstart singing competition is more for “second chance people” than true stars.
“The winner of The Voice, I will remind you,” Jackson noted at the TCAs, “is an artist who had a deal at Capitol Records for several years, a failed contract.”
Levine's response, in an interview with Ellen DeGeneres:
“Shame on Randy Jackson for saying that,” Levine said. “He, of anybody, should know that if you’re in this business you need second, third, fourth and fifth chances."
"So we love and embrace having that being part of the show.”
Levine, who was joined by fellow The Voice coaches Christina Aguilera and Blake Shelton, does credit Jackson for being “a working musician [who's] had a lot of success,” but he contends Jackson’s comments were “irresponsible.”
Do you agree? And which show do you like better?

Girl! I am also a big Idol fan. Adam, Kris, and Danny are my picks for the top 3 (with Adam being my fav). And I ncioted Paula and Simon being very touchy, touchy the other night. Thought it was interesting. Hmmmmm . . . .

Adam Levine bugs me. He's trying to be a cool and hot musician, but he comes off as a vagina rock-and-roll young American man who haven't had a song that seduce my vagina to sympathize with his godlike-words-of-wisdom. Yucky.
