"  Adam Levine has criticized the media for blowing a flippant remark he made on The Voice out of proportion. The Maroon 5 singer, who serves as a coach on the NBC show, caused controversy earlier this year after quipping &amp;quot;I hate this country&amp;quot; in response to the voting results.    \u00A9 Mark Seliger / NBC  &amp;#039;The Voice&amp;#039; coach Adam Levine  &amp;quot;If your intentions are good, if someone misunderstands you, regardless of what the scenario is, I think people can see through stupid media hype - no offense,&amp;quot; Levine said at a Television Critics Association panel. &amp;quot;As long as you allow yourself to be who you are, you can&amp;#039;t really defend every single thing you say.&amp;quot; On The Voice&amp;#039;s failure to produce a breakout star, he added: &amp;quot;There&amp;#039;s been a lot of success depending on how you define the term success. If you&amp;#039;re not in the negative in this business, you&amp;#039;re succeeding. &amp;quot;The immediacy of winning and becoming a huge star is a fairy tale that I&amp;#039;d love to see take place, but it&amp;#039;s still a fairy tale.&amp;quot; Levine previously insisted that he &amp;quot;obviously&amp;quot; loves America, explaining that his comment was &amp;quot;lighthearted&amp;quot;.
