Tony Lucca feels like Xtina is trying to get him out of "The Voice"


Tony Lucca is voicing his mind on Christina Aguilera's constant criticism at him on "The Voice". After the "Keeps Gettin' Better" songstress made it clear that she's rooting for Katrina Parker on semifinals night, the Team Adam contestant confessed that he feels like she just wants to take him out of the competition.

Speaking to PEOPLE after the show on Monday, April 30, the 36-year-old first admitted, "I was just scratching my head like: 'Really, you have to keep going on with this?' " He went on to say, "All of the other coaches have been pretty respectful about each other's choices. But now it seems like she's just flat-out trying to get me out of here."



Commenting on Aguilera's request to Adam Levine to "take a look at Katrina Parker because she's a star," Lucca said he felt "offended on [Levine]'s behalf." The former Mickey Mouse Club member explained, "He worked hard to make sure we were coming out on equal footing." Still, he did acknowledge that he and Levine "have a brotherhood going on."

In a separate interview with Los Angeles Times, Lucca credited Aguilera for giving him motivation to present a better performance every week. "I didn't disagree with what she said," he at first said. "I understood where it was coming from." He then pointed out, "It breathed new life into my strategy. It gave me a strategy."

Asked why Aguilera continued on dissing him, Lucca responded by admitting, "Honestly I don't know." He further explained as referring to his MMC days, "There has been a web of friendships that have stemmed from that show. And at various times different falling outs and alliances. That's all I can really ascertain."

Aguilera hasn't been exactly nice with her comments for Lucca. She once called him "one-dimensional", and suggested that he may have an unfair advantage due to Justin Timberlake's support. On Monday night, she indirectly dissed him when commenting on Parker's performance of The Fugees' "Killing Me Softly".

"I just encourage Adam to really look at you," the "Not Myself Tonight" singer told Parker. She went on to say, "I know that probably the obvious, predictable choice for Adam would be to be swayed towards [Lucca]. But I'm telling you, take a look at Katrina Parker because she's a star."

What do you guys think? Is Christina right or should she back off a bit? It does seem like she is breathing down his neck and really wants him out of there.

flipangel_88 2nd-May-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
I could not comprehend that comment ..

OMFG, she was just throwing him under the bus and rolling over him over and over again ...

SO MUCH SHADE
iwalkintodoors 2nd-May-2012 04:57 am (UTC)
it just made her look stupid tbh.

also, by CONSTANTLY making things personal (i.e.,bringing justin into this), she loses her credibility when she actually makes legitimate points.
loosedefense 2nd-May-2012 04:55 am (UTC)
i really didn't understand why that even came up in the first place. did it take her one entire week to think of that lame line?
letmeupgradeu 2nd-May-2012 05:33 am (UTC)
what an idiotic insult. wtf does it even mean? nothing. like this show.
highflyer8 2nd-May-2012 03:18 pm (UTC)
shadiest shade of shaaade
kstew 2nd-May-2012 07:00 pm (UTC)

lmao i love it

Do people not sign confidentiality contracts anymore?
rabbitncavylove 2nd-May-2012 06:04 am (UTC)
for what? he is doing an interview and promoting the show. you mean a confidentiality clause against saying anything bad about the show or the judges? there have been other contestants saying worse.
noneformethanx 2nd-May-2012 06:09 am (UTC)
I always thought reality shows make the contestants sign those documents so as not to say anything bad about the show or indicate giving away results
kurtvonnegut 2nd-May-2012 04:48 am (UTC)
lol white men and their entitlement. omg someone doesn't like u.
sowhat_whocares 2nd-May-2012 05:16 am (UTC)
well, he isnt wrong. she IS being pretty outright with her utter dislike of him and she seems really threatened.

and its not "someone doesnt like you"...its a judge on a show he is competing on making out right derogatory remarks to him. I would be fucking pissed at her and her immature shade if I was him.
kurtvonnegut 2nd-May-2012 05:16 am (UTC)
lol immature? he performed britney spears in order to piss her off. come da fuq on.
kimberwyn 2nd-May-2012 05:47 am (UTC)
Lol seriously.
_scarlett_icons 2nd-May-2012 01:28 pm (UTC)
I doubt anyone's threatened by tona. He's not a great singer, and even though he's always butthurt, she was completely right when she said he was one-dimensional. He needs to get the fuck over himself.

Nothing she said was ever derogatory. She commented on his singing, and that alone, and she has every right to not like it. She did not once comment on his personality, his personal life, his religion, his appearance... anything that would make it unprofessional.

Also, he's the immature one for keeping it going. Him and stupid stans who screamed at her because she said he was one-dimensional. Wtf? Lol. So fucking pathetic. If he can't take heat like that, he's in the wrong industry.
jessepinkman 2nd-May-2012 05:23 am (UTC)
mte. also, love the new icon
laurie_springs 2nd-May-2012 08:24 am (UTC)
That's why I dislike him tbh. I think Christina's been harsh to him in comparison to how she treats everyone else but I don't appreciate the pressure he put on her to automatically love him just because they worked together 20 fucking years ago.

And I saw the Britney song as disrespectful to Britney on a certain level which makes him a raging hypocrite.
enamored 2nd-May-2012 02:26 pm (UTC)
lmao at you talking about male entitlement when we're talking about CHRISTINA AGUILERA here. bitch has felt entitled her whole career, throws shade at everyone for no good reason---whether it's just for press, or because she thinks shes god's gift to JIVE records...
canuckgirl33 5th-May-2012 01:12 am (UTC)
Are you born stupid?
underworld 2nd-May-2012 04:49 am (UTC)
she is such a fucking cunt queef. 'you and adam can start a britney cover band'


bitch maybe you should, help revitalize your career and all.


i mean she's always been a nasty bitch but now she's glorifying it on national tv. so, congrats big gurl
kurtvonnegut 2nd-May-2012 04:50 am (UTC)
you need to calm down
underworld 2nd-May-2012 04:55 am (UTC)
i am calm, i have a very rational hatred for this bogan
grande_latte 2nd-May-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
"let's get britney let me join you on stage and we can have a mickey mouse reunion"

no bitch stop
skeletwin 2nd-May-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
tom from the wanted is that u??
maidenhell 2nd-May-2012 05:07 am (UTC)
Britney is so much better than Christina. I recall the mid-00s when they were feuding (Christina making dumb comments about her, Britney cockblocking Christina's every chance at press). It was glorious.
candycheeks 2nd-May-2012 07:28 am (UTC)
omg i don't even watch this show but was curious about the comments and LOL you've made my night, i can sleep now.
kal_ella 2nd-May-2012 04:49 am (UTC)
oh god dude, just shut up please
xzackb 2nd-May-2012 04:49 am (UTC)
damn, the media is just obsessed with xtina lately.

I actually like Christina more when she's being a bitch ngl
xzackb 2nd-May-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
mte. when she was called him one dimensional and just ripped him a new one, i was loving every second of it.
ionizable 2nd-May-2012 04:51 am (UTC)
me too. esp since she's not even being much of a bitch in the first place.
vivisexion 2nd-May-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
lol mte
kurtvonnegut 2nd-May-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
if she was adam and being a "bitch" ppl wouldn't even care or comment, just talk about how he was rude but they don't care cuz he's hot. it wouldn't even be a thing. smh

adam never shuts up so i like when christina throws shade his way and questions how he coaches tbh
callingstars 2nd-May-2012 05:20 am (UTC)
yeah no one really talks about the fact that adam told katrina "you weren't my favorite" in the beginning. they're just like lolol well he's just being honest.
andres01234 2nd-May-2012 10:01 am (UTC)
there's a difference between being a bitch and being a cunt. She's not clever enough to be a bitch
grande_latte 2nd-May-2012 04:50 am (UTC)
duh i've been saying this the entire time

more proof she's a bitch
jasmina12345 2nd-May-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
lol there really doesn't need to be proof because christina being a bitch is no secret to the industry
grande_latte 2nd-May-2012 04:53 am (UTC)
for some ontdrs they does since many of them said she isn't a bitch
chrislola 2nd-May-2012 06:20 am (UTC)
I always see you all up in the Christina posts. I'm not a stan or anything, but it kind of seems like you are. whew.
hungthem00n 2nd-May-2012 08:28 pm (UTC)
she released a song acknowledging she was one, not sure people needed more proof after that...

i'm fascinated by all the shade voice contestants have been throwing at the judges
grande_latte 2nd-May-2012 04:54 am (UTC)
i like it. i like how they dont have to stand there and take it and they have a voice and fight back
burnedtears 2nd-May-2012 05:03 am (UTC)
i hope you meant that pun.
rabbitncavylove 2nd-May-2012 06:07 am (UTC)
prob partly due to the stress and new spotlight
treebraids 2nd-May-2012 06:51 am (UTC)
Tony and modelmayhem are the only ones Iv'e seen throw shade.
highflyer8 2nd-May-2012 03:21 pm (UTC)
I think it's because contestants on The Voice are so much more likely to have a history in the industry. They're seasoned veterans, not fresh faced kids straight off the farm like they often are on AI.
syzygy09 2nd-May-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
You feel like that because she is. And I love it, tbh.

I'm not worried anymore though...Juliet's got this.
asmallwonder 2nd-May-2012 05:03 am (UTC)
i'm sort of nervous chris will win. i would have preferred lindsay in the final tbh
chrislola 2nd-May-2012 06:21 am (UTC)
Yeah, I'm surprised it wasn't Lindsay.
skeletwin 2nd-May-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
she's been looking better lately
iwalkintodoors 2nd-May-2012 04:53 am (UTC)
ikr? she looked really pretty in one of the videos i watched. didn't she used to have a double chin? it's like all magically vanished.
iwalkintodoors 2nd-May-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
(yes, i already left a million comments about this on the Jack's Mannequin post that didn't really have anything to do with The Voice)

i just caught up on youtube (i've never watched this show in my life and have no strong feelings about xtina), and even i could sense the hostility from the first video i watched.

seriously, she goes out of her way to insult him. it's ridiculous. why is she so intent on throwing shade at him?
xzackb 2nd-May-2012 04:57 am (UTC)
its not shade when it's the truth. that's just spilling the tea.
iwalkintodoors 2nd-May-2012 04:59 am (UTC)
it's shade when you're being nasty about it. she was right in some of her criticism, but every time she throws in a personal aside (which is way too often), it just makes her look pressed.
robalunch 2nd-May-2012 04:52 am (UTC)
He sucks

I love bitchytina tbh.
bounty 2nd-May-2012 04:52 am (UTC)

what's it to you? some, unlike you, aren't obsessed with making the wittiest~ comments on the internet.

Yeah he is.
