Kanye west Adam Levine

[AliciaVendetta1]

Kayne Rihanna, Jayz Pink.......FREEMASONS

[ZairaAmaterasu]

Are you sure? Can't see Rihanna have the brain for that, honestly. And I don't see the point of this comment anyway. A big "Who cares?"

[xmaricicaxcihodx]

I just wish I could be in Washington DC starting from January 18th, instead than here in Italy ;) I know where I would love to attend: Sun 18 "A New Birth of Citizenship Inauguration Event", Mon 19 Live Earth 2009 Green Inaugural Ball, and on the 20th at the Official Vice President Home States Ball. God, I love Maroon 5. I love their green side and their political passion. they are all that I need in a band ;)

[snowsk8er42]

C'mon, behind on truck payments? Theres room in space/human race? Benz/Pens/Pen?

This isn't soul, these are rhymes made up in 3 minutes. You want soul, go back 12 years.

[ginamalone222]

These aren't ryhmes made up in three minutes at all. Malik's a poet, Kanye's a genius, and Adam Levine is best thing on planet Earth. This song moved me in actually learning a bit more about US situation before the elections. Trust me it ain't easy to push e over books if not requested for Uni studies, but their song and their passion in this song made that. hence the song moves people. Which is what great music should help at: opening hearts and minds. If you can't see it it's your loss.

[soulfulva]

snowsk8er42 is a faggot who doesn't understand soul music and poetry. and is way too shallow to swim in something so deep.

[sumaiyaxx]

That's a neat way to look at it. I'd like to hear more from the three of them. I wonder if the rest of the Obama "soundtrack" is as good.

Adam Levine + rap in general = awesomeness

Even when it's completely un-serious, like Iran So Far with Andy Samberg (HILARIOUS)

[ZairaAmaterasu]

I hate that NBC don't broadcast that outside US online. In Italy we get Dave Letterman but not your version of SNL. Luckely I have seen that video online. You're right, it's hilarious. But even there, Adam in white suit... WOW. White on him is just sooooooo perfect ;) (Jake Gyllenhall playing Ahmadinejad is INCREDIBLE, too. Andy Samberg is crazy and I got that already from the crazy song he did with Justin Timberlake. LOVE all about Adam mixing with crazy creative people. He's likle that too.)

[sumaiyaxx]

SNL puts most of their videos on their website; there's a lot of really funny Andy ones. It was actually Fred Armisen playing Ahmadinejad (Jake Gyllenhaal was just in it for a few seconds), but yeah that video is incredible. I really want to see more with Andy and Adam haha.

[xmaricicaxcihodx]

Adam's got a refined taste when it comes to music and musicians he likes to collaborate with. I watched that SNL thing through web though: SNL site won't show the excerpts in Italy sadly, gotta agree with Miss Z. there. But web is an open source... we always get to follow anything he does ;)

[sumaiyaxx]

I love this song. Malik, Kanye, and Adam have such different voices and styles but it sounds so perfect put together.

[xmaricicaxcihodx]

I completely agree. One of the things I love the most about Kanye and Adam (I have tried to learn as much as I could about Malik too, after this song that made me discover him) is that they are capable of crossing borders and bounderies, moved by artistic need and real deep motivations. I find all that so very much as a part of the real artistry. An dI so love their voices together. I used to say it's Kanye's fire plus Adam's wind, and now I'll add Malik's ground. I'd love to play water ;)

[ginamalone222]

Fico!!! (anche importante... ma soprattutto grande canzone! Non sono molto politica, io ;))

[nureyevblueyes]

Oh, yes, these guys have soul.Great song.

[cormanbillysp]

Splendido. Splendida canzone. Splendida tu.

[7craigdaniel7]

E' una canzone coinvolgente e piena di intenzioni positive. Si sente che tutti e tre credono in quello che dicono, come fanno sempre i veri artisti della musica. Grazie per aver condiviso il video. E anche il link al "Register to Vote", l'appello di Di Caprio e dei suoi amici. Adam con quel'enorme tatuaggio mi fa strano, ma immagino che a voi ragazze piaccia ;)

[ChrisCromwell1981]

This song is GREAT. Malik writes, Kanye delivers and Levine puts all in a stratosphere of gospel sounding. GREAT. (Thanx for quoting me there, beautiful you...)

[gallimel]

Immaginavo che avresti creato qualcosa di appassionato, colorato e pieno di speranza e delicatezza. Ottimo lavoro, cara.

[JPCopelland]

Extraordinary performance (also from you Miss!) Luv this.

[maretyoshikawa]

So beautiful Miss Z. This is one of the reasons I love Kanye and Adam for (also that other guy, but I got to know him just now...). They DO care. They do believe music can move sould and spirits and that is not just a festive, mundane, recreative thing. This is so beautiful. Thank you.

[LaylaohLaylaOh]

I don't really understand politics that much, so I will just say that this song is VERY cool and has beautiful words. I just hope that world can stay in peace. It will be taken as a shallow sentence but I do hope so.

:)

[CHARISSEbella]

Grazie del link Layla!! Ammetto di non riuscire a tradurre tutte le parole ma la canzone è davvero bella! (che tatuaggio enorme che ha adesso sul braccio Adam... io non amo molto i tatuaggi, ma adoro lui !) :)

[LaylaohLaylaOh]

Lo sapevo che ti sarebbe piaciuto :)

[waterhilla]

Excellent Miss-you always come up with more and more.

Thank you also for the other link at Adam's speeches in DiCaprio movie. That was fun and great to catch too, pity one can't comment (though I see reasons why).

I am personally in love with Adam's new tattoo. And this comes from a person not particularly fond of ink on skin.;)

Kanye and Adam together are supreme and this Malik Yusef sounds really deep and acknowledged. Love this song. Love the cause.

[eleonorawhite]

Zaira! Tu sei la più grande!

This video is amazing. This song is freakin amazing. This further Adam meets Kanye new thing is SPECTACULAR and the cause is SO worthy.

I also rushed to the 5 uncensored friends thing. Loved it. On a lighter note, how CUTE is Adam that scruffy? Aw! And the tattoo looked even huger there. The blue shirt made it seem like blue inked even ;)

Please register and vote, Americans! It won't matter just for yourself, but for us all in the world. Believe.

[FinalFantasia6]

I really, really, really praise you for this one Zaira. I particularly love the Homo Vitruviano image you've put in the core of this video. Yes, we need enlightened people for making things get better. Three of them have created this amazing song, for another one whom we hope is gonna restore world a bit. If this sounds political, I don't care. I give my own hope to confluence in a BIGGER hope.

This song is wonderful.

Your work is as well.

Kudos.

[ZairaAmaterasu]

Go watchin also "5 Friends Uncensored" video with Di Caprio, Hoffmann and a HUGE list of brained stars (Adam's there of course). This is just so important. I hope there's gonna happen soon the day where my HUGE love for USA will be felt again like a pride, and not almost like a guilty occasion. REGISTER and VOTE.

Things have to change.

(Yes, I am liberal. Problems?)

[FinalFantasia6]

Thank you again Zaira. That 5friends uncensored message warmened my heart. And he's SO cute with the high up hair. I know that's not the point of the whole thing, but I couldn't help thinkin he's so adorable. ;)

[0lucydiamond0]

I am falling in love with this song. I knew it wouldn't have taken much, cos for me Kanye plus Adam is simply unbeatable bond, but this is really so touching, so pushing, so... all that a song about getting in the game to change things should be. I will have to check this Malik dude. It's a wonderful video Miss. It's from wonderful people, for a wonderful hope.

[666Cibele666]

Miss, you're gonna receive us all comments in rush ;) I was angry at YouTube maintenance preventing me from posting under this, but now I've even sent sms to the gals it's up and available to write under ;) AMAZING. I could quote what Mari said below, but I prefer to focus on the extreme importance of this collaborative effort. Musically, and beyond that, socially. Europe has a hope THEY CAN, yes, change things for the better. It can't get even worse, it mustn't.

;) Go Adam & Kanye (& Malik!)

[xmaricicaxcihodx]

Zaira, let me once again compliment you. Not merely for the video, which is an heartfelt tribute to this amazing song and this awesome collaboration. I also wanna tell you all words you've spent under the video and aside, in the info panel, are completely shared by me too.

Hugs (and thank you: I also loved your blog post about Coldplay gig ;))
