Coming from some one who barely knows who John Lennon is, is such a huge Maroon 5 fan that she dreams about them sometimes, and is in love with Adam Levine, this is the best version of this song EVER!!!!!! ( and even without all that stuff, it still us the best..)
Best version of song I have ever heard...His voice gives me chills not to mention the lyrics...What a message this time of year and all year long for peace around the world...How about that piano playing...Love Jesse too :)
Sorry, Adam Lavine. You did good, but without the beautiful background children's choir, this song is a fail ... not to mention, John Lennon's vocals can't be touched on this song.
I miss the children's chorus. Cute boy, not a particularly strong singer, but the spare piano accompaniment is nice. Lennon version also so-so. We await for someone to really sing the hell out of this song.
Everyone saying Lennons versions better, in my opinion you're right but Maroon 5s aim wasn't to be better then the original it was to perform this song as well as they can and they did a brilliant job
Wow, his voice goes to complete crap at the beginning trying to hold that high note. haha. I guess thats why he switched to that low voice. Not a horrible version, but anyone who says it's better than Lennon's is just retarded,
Adam is such a great guy. He's jewish but still covering a song about christmas. I know it doesn't sound that great but this song covered by them has a lot of meaning in my life and I just really appreciate it. Not to mention it might even be better than John Lennon...
Thanks for the comments guys. No matter if you love maroon5's version or the original, it's the thought that counts. The story of the song and how the lyrics touch our hearts. I am not American and I don't care if people here are or not, all I want for us to ponder on is how important peace is around the world. And I think that's what Lennon and/or M5 would like us to think about. Happy Christmas!
@fairestgay Couldn't have said that better, myself. May we ALL find peace with ourselves, within ourselves. Regardless of who we are or what we believe. Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah, Happy Kwanzaa, etc. Looking forward to 2012!
This is just beautiful. No matter what it is, Adam always does an excellent job. I like it better than the original, myself. Go Maroon 5! You all have outdone yourselves.
You fuckin Americans stop this act of hypocrisy, yeah when John was alive you hated him, almost deported him but now as he is no longer with us, you are showing him Love.
@SuperJamestyson Just because the United States government does something, that does not mean every American agrees with it. In the case of John Lennon, I was eight years old when he died. That doesn't stop me from loving his music, respecting his genius, or desiring that his vision of peace come true...
i personally don't like his voice, that's not a reason to "thumbs down" a comment :) but he means well, happy late christmas to everyone on youtube :) haha...
Worst cover ever, the vocals suck. The yodeling squril strikes again
