Though Team Adam suffered a major blow during the Top 6 eliminations on NBC’s The Voice, coach Adam Levine says he is feeling pretty good.

“I feel like the 6 contestants that we shared as coaches were all winners,” Levine told reporters after his last two contenders, Melanie Martinez and Amanda Brown, were eliminated from the competition. “As cliché and trite as that sounds, it’s totally true.”

“The show’s over. It’s December and everybody wins,” he said.

As soon as host Carson Daly announced that Martinez was headed home, Levine hit the stage to console the 17-year-old. Then when it was announced Brown was headed home as well, he embraced her. However, the Maroon 5 frontman isn’t worried about the future of either of his contestants post-competition.

“They’re have been failures on both sides of this [show]. There have been failures on behalf of the people who have controlled the careers of the winners post-Voice which we are trying to help mend. There has been success in places that no one ever thought there would be success,” said Levine, of what he told his singers after they were eliminated.

He continued, “There have been Jennifer Hudsons. There have been surprises and I think that everybody has an equal shot at having a great career. These are six incredible artists that all deserve to be there.”

At the end of the proverbial day though, he said, “They all win and then they go home one-by-one and the winner goes home at the end too. The Voice doesn’t continue beyond the last person.”

The Voice airs Monday and Tuesday nights at 8 PM on NBC.

It was the end for Team Adam on Season 3 of NBC’s The Voice on Tuesday as indie singer Melanie Martinez and soulful rocker Amanda Brown were both sent home from the competition during the Top 6 elimination show.

Martinez, who has been known almost as much for her hair and clothes as for her performances, was optimistic about the future after her elimination.

“I’m feeling good,” Martinez told Celebuzz after the results show ended. “I’m just really happy that I got to show who I am as an artist on the show and really go through this experience. [Meeting] these just amazing artists that have really helped me grow. There’s just so much more I’m looking forward to and I’m excited. “

Within seconds after host Carson Daly announced her elimination on the broadcast, her coach Adam Levine rushed the stage to console the singer. But what did he actually say to her?

“He just said to continue to be myself and that this isn’t the end for me and I just need to keep moving on,” Martinez revealed. “[Also] how he’s not worried about me,”

At the young age of 17, the show has made memories which are sure to last the high school student a lifetime. Her favorite memory of her journey thus far: “Just every single moment I spent with each contestant here because everyone is so amazing.”

“This is the best season. It really is and I don’t think any other season will compare,” she declared. ”And yes that did just come out of mouth.” So now that the two-toned hair singer is out of the competition, who is she throwing her weight behind?

“I’m rooting for all of them but I have to go with the only lady left, Cassadee Pope,” Martinez stated. “I love her.”

She also suggested Pope tackle another Michelle Branch song in the semi-finals.

“I think the stuff she wants to be putting out is similar to Michelle Branch and I think that would really showcase her vocal ability and she would kick ass at that.”

Watch our interview with fellow eliminated contestant, Amanda Brown, below.

When Amanda Brown took the stage to perform on Monday’s episode of NBC’s The Voice, the crowd took an audible breath.

As a more than 20-women choir surrounded the gorgeous singer, she wailed on Aretha Franklin’s “You Make Me Feel Like a Natural Woman” so perfectly that it gave us chills.

“I just wanted to do something a bit more soulful with that kind of cool gospel feel and just pay tribute to that part of my life and my upbringing,” Brown told Celebuzz of her personal song choice.

“That kind of music was definitely a big part of my upbringing in the church,” she continued. “Not only that, [but the song is] such an iconic and powerful song and I wanted to kind of have that experience on the show. I felt like people haven’t really got to see that side of me.”

Then, under an hour later, the former backup singer for Adele was back for round two changing gears completely by rocking out to White Snake’s “Here I Go Again On My Own” at the request of her coach Adam Levine. The self-described rocker said she was more than ecstatic upon learning Levine’s choice for her big performance.

“When Adam was like ‘you’re going to do this song, you might think I’m crazy,’ I was like ‘No, it’s a great song. Why not?’ Why not do it?’” she said.

“I just really like to have fun on stage and I like for it to be musical and … entertaining but above all else I really want to have fun and that usually happens when I’m doing music that I really enjoy,” she added. “I feel like the two songs I did tonight were examples of that. I really just had fun singing both of them.”

Brown has long since been a fan favorite in the competition and was one of two finalists – the other being Cassadee Pope  — to chart last week, not only on iTunes but on Billboard with her rendition of Grace Potter and the Nocturnal’s “Stars.”

The tune clocked in at No. 97 on the Hot 100 chart with the original version of the song a mere two songs above at No. 95. While Brown freaked out when Potter contacted her about that epic performance on Twitter, she revealed to us there was one other celebrity fan she had on the social media site, which made her jump for joy.

“Jaci Velasquez,” she exclaimed. “I know a lot of people may not know who she is but when I grew up I was kind of a big contemporary Christian listener and she was one of my idols.”

“I had mentioned her in an interview and so after that she tweeted me,” the 27-year-old said. “She was like ‘Thank you so much. You’re doing an awesome job’ and I was like ‘Does anyone else see this?’ I was stoked when I saw that.”

Brown even admitted to taking a screen shot of the tweet which she still has.

The Voice airs Mondays and Tuesdays at 8 PM on NBC.

What did you think of Brown’s performance Monday night? Will she make it to the Top 4? Weigh in on the comments below!

With the first week of the live playoffs on NBC’s The Voice out of the way, the Top 12 contestants are getting ready to go all out as they take the stage Monday night.

While we’ll be watching and listening to all the singers intently, Amanda Brown is on the top of our list of performers who will definitely wow the crowd and the country. Brown has consistently rocked the stage during her time on The Voice since dueling in an epic battle with fellow frontrunner and former teammate Trevin Hunte.

“Going into it, we both said to each other that we just want to really want to give a good musical performance,” the singer told Celebuzz regarding the pair’s still-talked-about duet of Mariah Carey’s “Vision of Love. “We wanted people to walk away going, ‘Oh, that was a beautiful musical experience,’ and I feel like we both kind of did that, and so I’m really proud of that.”

Given her consistently killer performances, including last week’s cover of Aerosmith’s “Dream On”, does the 27-year-old often have an idea of how she did when she’s done performing?

“When I get on stage, I don’t remember anything that I do. I kind of walk up there and just do whatever comes naturally,” she revealed. “I’m usually a bit nervous to hear what the coaches are going to say, and this last performance on Monday, I was just really blow away by everyone’s reaction – but especially by Adam’s reaction.”

Brown is relatively new to Levine’s team, after being stolen from Team Cee Lo during the battle rounds.

She told us, “It’s been amazing, first of all, to work with both of them. They’re both extremely talented and awesome guys in general. I definitely think that they bring two different perspectives to the table. They definitely have different tastes in music and the music that they perform as artists.”

Now that she’s been working with Adam through the knockout rounds and initial live shows, she said, “He’s just kind of pushed for me to be myself – the kind of quirky, kind of goofy energetic person that I am, and I want to continue to do that.”

Then again, she says, the Maroon 5 frontman is goofy as well, so it can be tough for the pair to get work done.

As for her performance on Monday’s show and beyond, she tells us she’s very excited and “want[s] to try to keep things a bit interesting.” Does that mean she’ll continue to rock out with classic hits like “Dream On”?

“I see myself as an alternative artist. I’m a music fan, and I want to be able to incorporate my life of music into every single performance,” she explained. “I hope in the future to be able to bring that energy but also to show people that I love music and all kinds of music.”

The Voice live playoffs continue Monday and Tuesday night at 8 PM ET/ tape delayed PT on NBC.

On Wednesday’s episode of NBC’s The Voice, the contenders on Team Christina Aguilera and Team Cee Lo Green will take the stage for their chance at making it into the Top 12 questions.

On Monday Night, Amanda Brown, from Team Adam, and Julio Cesar Castillo, from Team Blake gave rousing performances, which brought both the audience and the judges to their feet. And with only three singers from each team making it to the next round of the live playoffs (two as voted on by the viewers, one coach’s save), there are some tough decisions to be made.

With the first elimination voted on by America set for Thursday, Celebuzz is ranking the live performances so far and predicting who we think will move into the Top 12 from Team Adam Levine and Team Blake Shelton.

Here are our predictions so far:

Team Adam

We’d be extremely surprised if Amanda Brown didn’t make it to the Top 12 after Monday’s amazing performance of Aerosmith’s “Dream On.” Adam Levine made the steal of the season scooping up the back up singer from Cee Lo Green in the battles. Our next guess would be Bryan Keith who sounded excellent performing Goo Goo Doll’s “Iris.” His raspy tone and coolness makes him a great fit for the next group of finalists.

The big question for Team Adam is who will be the third singer to move on?

For us, it’s really between Joselyn Rivera and Melanie Martinez. Both girls are incredible, but very different. We could see Rivera going far because of her amazing pipes and overall appeal while Martinez is so unique and different that Levine could definitely choose her if she isn’t saved by America. Unfortunately for Loren Allred, we believe she is going home.

Team Blake

Our No. 1 on Blake Shelton’s team is Terry McDermott. His voice has been perfect throughout the competition. That, coupled with the song choice of one of America’s most loved songs, Journey’s “Don’t Stop Believin’,” is sure to secure him a spot in the Top 12.

We’d also like to see Shelton’s dream come true by country singer Liz Davis continuing on. She gave a solid performance of Martina McBride’s “Independence Day” on Monday and made her coach proud.

Though Castillo received a standing ovation for his performance of the traditional Mariachi tune, “El Rey,” we don’t think it will be enough to get him into the Top 12.

So that leaves teenage radio host Michaela Paige and Cassadee Pope. While Paige is fantastic, we have to go with Pope here. The former Hey Monday lead singer seems to have a good fan base behind her given the screams from the audience after she performed Avril Lavigne’s “My Happy Ending.” Though her performance could have been better, we think her fans alone and Blake’s love for her will get her through.

Team Christina and Team Cee Lo will take the stage Wednesday.

The Voice live playoffs continue Wednesday at 8 PM with eliminations on Thursday at 8 PM on NBC.
