Blake Shelton admits ‘man crush’ on ‘Voice’ pal Adam Levine

Anyone who has turned on "The Voice" for even a fleeting few moments can't help but feel the love that judges Blake Shelton and Adam Levine have for each other. In between kindhearted jabs and playful digs, the two singers really seem to be involved in one of the small screen's greatest bromances.

And if you think you're imagining it, Shelton told MTV News earlier this week at Cosmopolitan's Fun Fearless Awards the affection you feel is very real.

"The bromance with me and Adam?" Shelton said. "It's funny, 'cause I get on Twitter, one of my routines during the day, if I'm home is, I wake up, get a cup of coffee, turn on the Weather Channel and I'll look at what people are saying to me on Twitter on my phone, and it's always something abbot me and Adam, the bromance."

Those tweets are always are in reaction to the cutesy back-and-forth Levine and Shelton shared the night before on their hit NBC reality singing competition, while fellow judges Christina Aguilera and Cee Lo Green look on. And Shelton has a message for his "Voice" bro:

"All I have to say is, it's true: I have a man crush on Adam," Shelton admitted. "It blows me away people can pick up on that just by watching that on television. I want to kiss him. I want to kiss him so bad. I don't care if it's mutual or not. Can you honestly tell me that you don't have a little bit of a crush on Adam? He's sexy, is the word I'm using.”
