Washington: Adam Levine, who was heard, saying, "I hate this country," on Tuesday`s episode of `The Voice`, has defended his remark via Twitter.
The singer murmured the un-patriotic words after America voted off his contestants, Judith Hill and Sarah Simmons, from the singing competition. The Maroon 5 frontman`s remark drew quick reaction online, with some criticizing him, while others defending his comment as a joke. However, Levine responded on Twitter by posted a series of definitions of words like "joke”, "humorless," and "misunderstand", the CBS News reported. Later, he released a statement saying, "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," Levine said. "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. I am very connected to my artists and know they have long careers ahead, regardless of their outcome on the show," the statement added. ANI
