New Bromance on The Voice
A budding friendship has emerged between Riley Green and Adam Levine on NBC’s The Voice. Levine, who previously formed a strong bond with Blake Shelton during his tenure on the popular singing competition, seems to have found a new playful rival in Green.
Riley Green’s First Season Insights
During a red carpet interview with Extra on Monday evening, just before the season’s first live show, Green shared his thoughts on being a coach for the first time. He expressed how it has been a unique experience collaborating with Levine, Kelly Clarkson, and Queen Latifah.
Unexpected Humor
As Green was discussing his experience, Levine appeared unexpectedly to join the conversation, ready to tease Green. Just moments before Levine’s entrance, Green had mentioned that he enjoys making jokes about Levine’s age, saying, “I just remind everybody how old he is as often as I can.” Levine, quick to respond, turned the humor on Green.
Age Jokes Fly
Levine quipped, “He’s literally almost 40 and he makes fun of me and I’m 47. That’s a respect thing. You’re basically 40; you’re staring down the barrel of 40.” Without missing a beat, Green shot back, “And can you remember 40?”
A Lighthearted Rivalry
Before leaving, Levine made it clear that he enjoys having Green around, stating, “I just enjoy having a younger, sexier country guy to mess with.” Despite the jokes, Green expressed his appreciation for his time on The Voice.
Enjoying the Competition
Green described his experience as wonderful, complimenting the cast, saying, “It’s a really great cast they’ve got here. Adam and Kelly and Queen, they’re all professionals. Kelly and Adam have done it for years, so it’s nice to have them show us the ropes. It’s a really fun, competitive show.”
Competitive Spirit
When asked about his competitive nature, Green was candid. “Very much, yeah. It’s interesting because we’re all rooting for the artists. We want to see them succeed beyond this, but we also want to win the show. So we’re tough on each other, but we have a good time with it.”
Upcoming Episodes of The Voice
The Voice is set to air its second week of live shows on Monday, November 16, at 9 p.m. ET. Teams Kelly and Riley will showcase their talents during Y2K Night, Part 2, in a special one-hour episode.
