If I Ain't Got You


Widely known fact 1: Maroon 5 is a pop rock band.
Widely known fact 2: Adam Levine's voice is distinctive, melodic

Not-so-widely known fact 1: Adam Levine can sing R & B.
Not-so-widely known fact 2: Adam Levine can sing it WELL!

Listened to Maroon 5's live cover of Alicia Key's If I Ain't Got You. Very nice! I really didn't expect him to sing R & B so well. Love the part where he hit the high note with his falsetto near the end of the song! Too bad none of the videos available in Youtube is clear, and don't do Adam Levine justice. You can get the song from Maroon 5's latest album - Hands All Over.

Adam Levine's voice to me isn't the strongest, but it is very unique and distinctive. Maybe 'whimsical' is the word for it.

Gonna loop the song in my player for quite some time. Adam Levine FTW!

P.S. I like the first verse of the song. Very true indeed. What do you live for?
