While giving her critique, coach Kelly Clarkson compared Stevens’ voice to famous gay artists such as Melissa Etheridge and the Indigo Girls.
On Instagram, Molly — who is gay — wrote a lengthy post where she felt the Since U Been Gone singer was pigeonholing her with other queer artists. She dished:
After a fan brought it to her attention, Clarkson responded on Tuesday saying some of her comments were edited out, and that she also compared Stevens to Patty Griffin.
Wow. This really bums me out. I need everyone 2 hear me & hear ALL OF THE WORDS I SAY. I compared Molly to Melissa Etheridge, Patty Griffin (a name that was left out conveniently), & the Indigo Girls purely because of the rasp in her voice & that she’s an amazing storyteller. https://t.co/Ci5fqDKzA3

Molly then apologized to Kelly by writing:
I am so sorry to have caused any pain and hurt with anyone. Learned my lesson to not process my thoughts on social media today. Especially the day after being aired on The Voice. I’m truly sorry. I hope our paths will cross soon so I can tell you this in person.
