We're still early into season 30 of The Voice; however, Adam Levine is already starting to concede ground. During the latest episode of the show, Levine admitted that rookie coach Queen Latifah has a 'stacked' team. His admission came after Latifah won a four-chair battle for Chari, who wowed with her blind audition.

"When I was asked to be a coach on this show, I prayed about it, and this is one of the things I prayed for. That I can be helpful to someone who is so amazing and deserves to be seen in front of the world," Latifah said after beating the other coaches for the chance to work with Chari, via PEOPLE
It was then that Levine admitted that Latifah's team is 'stacked,' praising the talent she's been able to assemble throughout the blind phase.
"Queen Latifah's team is stacked. She came to play — she's a gamer. I think she's got the best team right now," Levine said.
This year's show is already shaping up to be incredibly competitive. Levine, Riley Green, Latifah, and Kelly Clarkson are all out to win. The level of talent has also been impressive, which bodes well as the show gets into the latter phases.
Adam Levine and Riley Green Also Have a Rivalry
Levine is dealing with attacks on all fronts. Outside of Latifah's ability to stack talent, he's also navigating a friendly rivalry with Riley Green.
"When we first started, I was like, 'Riley, don't f--- with me,' " Levine told PEOPLE in a recent interview.
We also saw some of that rivalry shine through on the Sept. 22 episode of The Voice, when Miranda Lambert chose to work with Green over Levine.
"I'm so happy I got Harmony. She really made that song her own," Green said of Lambert's choice, via PEOPLE. "The way she took over the stage, she'll definitely be a big star. This victory is pretty sweet because there's no better feeling than beating Adam."
This year's season is shaping up to be one of the best in recent memory. The coaches are motivated, and the talent is deep. Right now, it's clear that Queen Latifah has the edge.
