"The Voice contestant Tony Lucca has revealed that Christina Aguilera has apologized to him. The pair had a difficult relationship throughout the competition, leading to a moment on Monday&amp;#039;s show when Aguilera accused Lucca of being derogatory to women by performing the Jay-Z track &amp;#039;99 Problems&amp;#039;.   Lucca, who eventually placed third in last night&amp;#039;s finale, later described Aguilera&amp;#039;s comments as &amp;quot;pathetic&amp;quot;. However, he has now told Us Weekly that the pair have put their differences aside. &amp;quot;She just wanted to clear the air a bit,&amp;quot; Lucca said. &amp;quot;[She] apologize[d] that this became much more of a dramatic thing than she ever intended it. &amp;quot;I said to her, &amp;#039;I hope that we can be cool moving forward&amp;#039;. I take pride in the fact that my whole career has been a career of integrity, and sound relationships.&amp;quot; Lucca explained that Aguilera&amp;#039;s comments mostly &amp;quot;inspired&amp;quot; him, but added that they could have had an effect on his chances in the competition. &amp;quot;Maybe this is America&amp;#039;s way of saying that they don&amp;#039;t want to reward this sort of petty back-and-forth kind of thing,&amp;quot; he said. Jermaine Paul was named the winner of The Voice in last night&amp;#039;s season finale. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
