TOP PICK: Adam Levine Signs The Voice's Christina Grimmie To Own Label - See Her Thank You Message

Christina Grimmie may have not won The Voice, but either way, the fans are still getting an album — thanks to her Voice coach Adam Levine.

The 20-year-old singer, who placed third overall during season six, was at ease when the winner (Josh Kaufman) was announced all because of Adam‘s tweet: “Id like to congratulate @TheRealGrimmie on winning a record deal. Either as the winner of the Voice, or with me on my label!”

“It actually took off a lot of pressure, but at the same time when I was up on the stage at the end of the night, I just had this unusual calm about me,” Christina told Parade afterwards. “I wasn’t nervous. I was just thinking, whatever happens is supposed to happen, and it’s all good from here on out.”

Christina added on her Facebook later on, “THANK YOU ADAM LEVIINNNEEE!!!!! For wanting to sign me to yur label….bc after 5 years on YouTube, not a single label out there would sign me. And he has known me for only a couple months n wud you look at that. Adam BELIEVES in me, as did my Team Grimmie all these years.

TOP PICK: 'The Voice' Sneak Peek: Christina Grimmie Wows With "Wrecking Ball"

Spoiler alert: Christina Grimmie kills on the season premiere of The Voice.

In an NBC teaser for season six of the show, the singer gives a rendition of Miley Cyrus' "Wrecking Ball" that is so powerful it causes every single judge to turn around in their seats.

"People come out here and they sing and you never know what to expect and then you turn around and you start to see how engaging and passionate and...you're more comfortable than I am up there almost and that is the moment where you realize that this person could be a huge star," Adam Levine said when Christina finished the song.

Christina is already a bit of a pro when it comes to wowing on stage.

The New Jersey native toured with Selena Gomez last year and has already released her first album, With Love.

Don't forget to tune into the Voice when it returns Monday night with mentors Blake Shelton, Adam Levine, Usher and Shakira on NBC at 8 p.m..

Did Demi Diss 'The Voice'? "I Have No Idea of Any Winner From 'The Voice'"

Is there some show rivalry going on here?

After the elimination show of X Factor two weeks ago, the judges were asked about the show itself and their thoughts on One Direction performing on the X Factor. While Demi was being honest, she also slipped in a comment about one of their competitors, The Voice.

"I think it's a great reminder to not just the contestants," Demi said about 1D performing, "but the rest of the world that specifically with this show--yes the others are doing well--but specifically with this show we've had so much success with mainstream artists."

Demi proves that she truly believes in what the X Factor is all about. "Fifth Harmony is taking off, Little Mix is huge and successful as well as One Direction," she told us. "It just goes to show that what our show is about is 'the X factor' and that we have so much talent and they're the ones you remember, their names."

And then she threw this out there: "To be honest, I can't really tell you--I have no idea of any winner from The Voice."

We get it, she backs the X Factor one-hundred percent. But do you think her last comment was necessary?

TOP PICK: Adam Levine: Immediately Becoming a Superstar After 'The Voice' Is a Fairytale

The Voice has been under heavy fire recently because the show is yet to produce a breakout superstar the way American Idol has with Kelly Clarkson, Carrie Underwood and other popular singers.

During a recent press conference, Adam Levine addressed the issue, saying while it's obviously ideal that something like that would happen with their winners, it is sort of a far-fetched dream.

"We totally understand because of the comparisons that might exist out there, why it might seem to be a failure on the show's part," Adam said. "The immediacy of winning and becoming a huge star is a fairytale that we would love to see take place, but it's still a fairytale."

Christina Aguilera agreed with Adam, citing her own experience as an example. "It just doesn't happen that way. It didn't happen that way for me either. For instance when I sang for the Mickey Mouse club, the alum has huge names: Britney [Spears], Justin [Timberlake], Ryan Gosling...All these names come from that show but right after the show did we all rocket to success right after? No, it takes time."

Carson Daly also spoke out about the same issue on a recent episode of Oprah's Next Chapter, saying, "Oprah, when did the endgame become success?" And what does it mean to be successful? What does it mean to be a breakout star?"

Do you agree with Adam, Christina and Carson's comments? Do you think it's unreasonable to assume that winning the show means immediately becoming a big star?

TOP PICK: 'The Voice' Winner Danielle Bradbery Releases First Single "The Heart of Dixie"

The Voice season four winner Danielle Bradbery already has her first single out!

The song, entitled "The Heart of Dixie" features the signature smooth vocals of the 16-year-old phenom and has a classic country melody.

"She had a dead end job at the national bay...and a deadbeat husband who always strayed," she sings.

The story line of the song seems a little deep for such a young girl to be singing, but Danielle's voice goes so far beyond her years, it somehow works.

Danielle's coach on the show was Blake Shelton, who gushed that she just might be "the most important artist to ever walk across The Voice stage."

The pair did a duet together on the show, which Danielle confessed was a little "awkward" because they were singing a love song and Danielle looks to Blake as more of a father figure.

As soon as the single was released, Blake showed his support for his protege on his Twitter page, writing, "I just downloaded @DBradbery 'Heart Of Dixie' on iTunes... It's so freaking good I can't even... it's just... I need a drink!!!"

TOP PICK: Jessie J CONFIRMS on Twitter that she's quit The Voice, could will.i.am be next?

After the controversy of The Voice final last month, we expected will.i.am would be the first judge to leave the show. However, he's been beaten to it by Jessie J who's confirmed on Twitter that she's quit the show.

Jessie J, 25, has been a judge and mentor on the show for both series, but has announced that it's time for her to move on.

The singer explained: "I've absolutely loved my time on The Voice, and I hope everyone saw and knows how passionately I felt about the show."

She continued: "I can't wait to promote my new record around the world and that has to take priority. I shall be keeping a very close eye on series three, showing my support in every way I can, and really hope that in some way that I can be part of the show."

It is not yet known who will replace Jessie on the panel, which also features will.i.am, Tom Jones and Danny O'Donoghue.

Mark Linsey, the BBC controller of entertainment commissioning, said: "We're so sorry to see Jessie go as she's been an exceptional coach on - and advocate for - The Voice, but we totally support her decision to leave due to touring commitments overseas.
"We very much hope that Jessie will remain part of the show and come back and perform for us next series.
"In the meantime, we will now start the search for a new coach."

It was widely acknowledged that will.i.am was left seriously unimpressed when Leah McFall was beaten in the final by Andrea Begley.

He immediately took to Twitter to say: "'You should feel the audiences vibration in the room tonight after the public's vote...its #unexplainable...so sad...#perplexed.''
He continued: ''Andrea is amazing...#dontGETmeWRONG...but we know who has the incredible #voice.''

TOP PICK: 'The Voice' Winner Danielle Bradbery Wants to Work With Carrie Underwood

Danielle Bradbery didn't only take home The Voice main title this season but she also got her name out there in the country music world!

After singing with country hunk Hunter Hayes during the show's finale and instantly being compared to American Idol winner Carrie Underwood, she has admitted which country star she'd love to work with.

Can you guess who?

Carrie Underwood!

"She's so amazing and I always loved her music and sound," Danielle recently told the New York Daily News.

Her choice isn't a big surprise! They two singers DO sound alike, look alike and even got their start the same way! Plus, Danielle's only 16-years-old so she grew up during the Carrie Underwood-winning- American Idol days! Of course she was and still is her idol!

Do you think the two ladies should work together?

TOP PICK: Who Will Perform on 'The Voice' Finale?

There has been a lot of speculation about who will be performing at next week's Voice finale.

Last season, the star-studded lineup included Rihanna, Kelly Clarkson, Peter Frampton, Bruno Mars, Avril Lavigne and, of course, the finalists themselves who had become stars in their own right.

As we approach the season four finale, we can pretty much guarantee we'll be seeing Michelle Chamuel, Danielle Bradbery and the Swon Brothers take the stage, but who else is slated to appear on the show?

We do know that Christina Aguilera and Pitbull are part of the lineup and will be performing their hit single "Feel This Moment."

Also, Cher will be performing her new single "Woman's World," off of her new album with the same title, which is the pop diva's first in over a decade.

NBC has also confirmed that Bruno Mars will be back, along with Florida Georgia Line and Nelly.

We don't know which act we're most excited to see!

Which performance are you most looking forward to?

TOP PICK: 'The Voice' Semi-Finals Results: The Top 3 Are Revealed

On The Voice live semi-finals results, two more contestants were sent home, leaving us with the final three.

Unfortunately for Shakira, her sole remaining contestant, Sasha Allen, was one of the two to be sent home.

Adam Levine also had to say goodbye to his last contestant when Amber Carrington was sent home, as well. Amber knew she didn't have a great semi-finals performance and even commented that she "couldn't sing worth a flip this week."

Still, it's sad to see her go home.

With Sasha and Amber out, that leaves us with The Swon Brothers, Danielle Bradbery and Michelle Chamuel as we head into the finals next week.

Who do you think will win the competition? Were you sad to see Sasha and Amber go home?

TOP PICK: 'The Voice' Live Semi-Finals Recap: The Top 5 Perform

On The Voice live semi-finals, each of the contestants performed two songs-one which was a dedication and one which their coaches chose for them. They also went back to their hometowns and we got to see footage from their visits.

The show started out with Usher singing his new song "Twisted," which was a nice surprise and definitely helped start the show on a good note.

While Usher was a hard act to follow, the five semi-finalists didn't disappoint.

The Swon Brothers started off singing Bob Seger's "Turn the Page," which they dedicated to their fellow band members back home.

For the duo's second song, they played "Danny's song," which was coach Blake Shelton's choice.

As usual The Swon Brothers were amazing to listen to and it was fun to see Zach Swon showing off his skills on the piano, but their second song was a little slow and melancholy for our taste.

Sasha Allen chose "I Will Always Love You" (the Whitney Houston version) as her dedication song, which she dedicated to her kids.

While it was a good performance, it's always tough when someone takes on a Whitney Houston song. Sasha's performance was good, but it's hard for anyone to hold a candle to what was probably Whitney's most memorable song.

For her second song, her coach, Shakira chose Donna Summer's "Bad Girls," which was much more fun and Sasha really did a great job embodying the spirit of the classic '70s song.


Michelle Chamuel's first performance was probably the most entertaining of the evening. It was a fun laser light show and as usual, Michelle rocked the stage and both the audience and the judges loved every second of it.

For her dedication song, she sang "Time After Time" and delivered a sweet dedication to her coach, Usher. The performance didn't pick up until about 3/4 of the way through, but in typical Michelle style, it was still absolutely amazing and we like how this song showed the softer side of the quirky contestant.

For Danielle Bradbery's first song, she sang "Please Remember Me," which her coach Blake Shelton had picked for her.

The performance was lacking emotion and entertainment value, but Danielle's voice is always good and listening to her sing is never too tedious.

Danielle sang "Who I Am" for her dedication song, which she dedicated to her mother and her best friend. The whole thing felt a little too manufactured with Danielle's childhood photos being displayed in the background and her popping into the audience to sing standing next to her mom, but it was still pretty good despite that.

Amber Carrington's first song was Katy Perry's "Firework," which she dedicated to her friends.

Unfortunately, this wasn't the best performance we've seen from Amber. Since she has more of a country voice, this song felt a little too much like Amber was straight screaming instead of singing.

For her second song, Amber's coach Adam Levine picked one of his own songs, "Sad," by Maroon 5.

This song was a much more appropriate song choice for Amber. She was able to show off just how powerful her voice really is and it definitely redeemed her after a shaky first performance.

What was your favorite performance of The Voice semi-finals?
