"Adam Levine has insisted that there is no animosity between his show The Voice and rival American Idol. The Maroon 5 star was asked about American Idol&amp;#039;s recent ratings slide during an NBC event but refused to criticise the show, Entertainment Weekly reports.   &amp;quot;We don&amp;#039;t get involved in stupid s**t like that,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;What&amp;#039;s the point? We love our show.&amp;quot; Levine also described American Idol as an &amp;quot;institution&amp;quot; and explained that he just wants to focus on The Voice instead of worrying about the competition. &amp;quot;At one point [Idol] was getting bigger ratings than we&amp;#039;ve ever gotten,&amp;quot; he said. &amp;quot;So we don&amp;#039;t think about that when we make our show. We think about making our show as good as it could possibly be.&amp;quot; Recent reports have suggested that American Idol producers planned to replace Mariah Carey with former judge Jennifer Lopez in the middle of the season in an attempt to boost ratings. Meanwhile, speculation has suggested that NBC could launch a children&amp;#039;s version of The Voice. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
