Juliet Simms discusses working on new songs with her The Voice coach Cee Lo Green and avoiding the Christina Aguilera/Adam Levine drama from the start, in an interview with TVLine.

TVLINE | So what’s next for you now? There’s some talk about Cee Lo signing you to his label. I know he’s been pretty supportive with his Season 1 finalist Vicci Martinez — even dueting with her on her first album. What will be your trajectory post-Voice? 
Yeah, Cee Lo and I are already talking. We’re going to be doing some songs together and making some music.

TVLINE | Were you glad that, during the finale, you were not involved in a direct way in the Christina vs. Adam drama?
Yeah, from the very, very beginning when Adam and Christina were fighting over me, I chose Cee Lo. I’m with Cee Lo in the “no drama” department. I’m Switzerland, okay. [Laughs]

Placing second on season 2 of NBC’s The Voice, Simms’ best performance was arguably the week she sang “Roxanne,” but she wasn’t originally a fan of the song.

“So I had to take the song and break it down. I picked up my acoustic and I started fitting it to the way that I sing. I thought about dynamics, and I thought about it musically and arrangement-wise and production-wise. I thought about what would give this song the best impact, thought about what I wanted to get across. I just came up with it one night sitting on my floor in my living room.”
