    Adam Levine: Kanye West Would Make A Great Coach On 'The Voice'

    Four is the magic number on NBC's "The Voice," but Adam Levine wouldn't mind adding an additional seat in the big red chairs if a certain hip-hop star was free.

    "I would love to see -- just because he's such a firecracker -- like a Kanye [West] do a show like that because he'd be so -- I'm sure that terrifies NBC -- but that would be fun," the Maroon 5 singer told Anderson Cooper for next Monday's "Anderson." "I love Kanye, I love what he does."

    "You wouldn't be afraid he'd grab the mic from you?" Anderson quipped, a reference to the Kanye's incident at the 2009 MTV VMAs.

    "We'd all be afraid all the time, that's the beauty of it," Adam said.

    Adam may have mentored Javier Colon to "The Voice" title on Season 1of the show, but when it comes to who he'd like to mentor himself, the "Moves Like Jagger" singer mentioned a Beatle.

    "To mentor me? You know, [one] guy that I haven't met, who was so hugely influential to me was Paul McCartney," Adam said. "I'm such a huge Paul McCartney fan."

    The singer said he has been in the same room with Paul, but never had the opportunity to start a conversation with the Liverpool-bred superstar.

    "I've been in the same room with him many times," he said. "I think mostly because we just haven't crossed paths and it never naturally happened, but someday I'd love to meet him."

      Adam imma let you finish, but seriously Kanye loves himself too much to coach someone else, the good thing about the judges on the show now is they all have moments of humility where they are able to compliment another singer...don't see Kanye doing that.

      Kanye? Seriously? Sorry the guy comes off as first class #$%$ I'd stop watching the Voice if he came on as a mentor
    • Tammy.S  •  Lockport, New York  •  2 mths ago
      I would turn the channel before i had to endure Kanye! Christina's ego is already so big there's no room for another inflated head! Holy cow that chica needs to do a 3 second rule before she opens her mouth ( not to mention dress a little more figure appropriate

      Please... no Kanye.. last time I took the time to listen he had to be digitally corrected so much it did not even sound like a human singing. sorry.

      • samantha 2 mths ago
        No, 18 grammys means that society does not know what talent is anymore. If you have to be auto tuned and still win a grammy for it, it means the standards of "music" have been set so low that as long as someone has the right look and is mildly entertaining, they can win one, no actual singing ability needed. Sad that we have come to that point.
      • Yes. 2 mths ago
        Sorry but Kanye has more talent than you and you're mad about it. 18 grammy's deal with it :D

      These 4 judges are fine just the way they are. As for guest mentors, they already have them for this year:

      Team Adam = Alanis Morrisette & Robin Thicke
      Team Blake = Kelly Clarkson & Miranda Lambert
      Team Cee Lo = Baby Face & Neyo
      Team Christina = Lionel Ritchie & Jewel.

      Adam, I love your music but not half of your opinions.
    • Dizzyann  •  2 mths ago
      I know what you can do, add Chris Brown as well. Then you could use the following adjectives: rude, narcissistic, classless, woman beater and #$%$ blank, and blank. You will also loose me as a viewer.

    • Lisa  •  Stockton, California  •  2 mths ago

    • Shannon  •  Fayetteville, North Carolina  •  2 mths ago
      Sorry Adam but what the hell are you thinking? Kanye would be a horrible coach! I love me some Blake but I would have to stop watchin the show if Kanye was added!
    • Brandy F  •  Tampa, Florida  •  2 mths ago
      I can't stand Kanye. I just started watching the Voice this season and I love it, If they brought Kanye in I would stop watching it!
    • Really Tired  •  2 mths ago
      No rappers on a singing show!! Ever!!!!!! Thats one of the many reasons why the X Factor blows chunks.
    • Craig  •  2 mths ago
      I don't watch the show, but I do allow my children to watch. If anyone from the network reads these posts, then read this...... If you put Kanye on the show, I will no longer let my kids watch it.
    • Common sense  •  Orlando, Florida  •  2 mths ago

    • Jennifer  •  Los Angeles, California  •  2 mths ago
      Really? Kanye? How about Lady Gaga, now there is a talent filled woman who would be fun to see as a coach.
