Christina Aguilera was reportedly furious Adam Levine had Tony Lucca sing ’99 Problems’ because she thought he was referring to her as the girl who was the problem — and subsequently tensions ran HIGH on ‘The Voice’ finale May 7!
It’s a good thing this season of The Voice is almost over, because Christina Aguilera and Adam Levine were about to wring each other’s throats during the finale performances May 7.
During rehearsals for the show, Christina reportedly was upset Adam had Tony Lucca sing “99 Problems” because she thought the lyrics “99 problems, but a b**ch ain’t one” were in reference to her. She flipped out and then Adam reportedly called her the c-word. The fight was so nasty, producers supposedly weren’t sure how the show would go on…
…But it did, and we watched it play out live. After Tony’s flawless performance, Christina simply said, “I thought you sounded great.”
Adam turned to Christina and said, “We’re not referring to ‘girl’ problems. It’s a metaphor.” The cocky judge then took off his coat to reveal a “Team XTina” shirt, which was meant to make amends.
However, it didn’t appear Christina accepted Adam’s apology, because when he sang his duet with Tony later in the show, she was nowhere to be seen. Clearly, she was taking a stand against Adam and his contestant.
The best moment was when Ceelo Green revealed his shirt, which said “No problems”! He joked that he had “no drama” with his contestant, Juliet Simms.

Christina needs to be fired! Period!
Why is everyone being so hard on her for her opinion? If you truly knew who Christina is then you’ll know that she came from a domestic violence background and this isn’t something that she’ll take lightly. This is why she’s all about female empowerment and were her song “Can’t Hold Us Down” stems from. “Call me a bitch cause I speak what’s on my mind!”
Why on earth would they fire her? If you knew anything about the TV industry this is exactly what they are looking for…publicity/controversy. From all the news and articles you see on the internet who is talked about the most?
She has been completely rude towards Tony ALL season!! She needs to worry more about her ever expanding waistline and finding close that actually fit rather than singling Tony out!
I think Christina just needs to tone it down a bit. I’m all for honesty, which is what I love about her but sometimes it’s a little much. With that being said, I can understand her frustration because if you really pay attention .. both Adam & Tony is responding to her critics through their choices in music. First you get ..Baby one more time (after she called him one dimensional) then he sang “how you like me now” and then .. “99 Problems”. I think it’s obvious can be that all of that is directed to her. Although “99 Problems” stems from drug dealers etc .. the verse “If you have girl problems, I feel bad for you son .. I got 99 Probs but a b!tch ain’t one” ..there’s no metaphor there.. so it is what it is, no matter how Adam tries to twist it.
99 problems is NOT a song to sing with children and teenages in the rooms therefore i thought it was unacceptable for the show. As a result i agree with Xtina
i agree 100% and for the record, if Xtina did not give him some tough love and a healthy dose of the truth he would still be boring!!!
