Default Adam Levine: "Bon Jovi is a deceptively great singer..."
"who isn't up there just growling."

Last night on the Voice Adam Levine had two guys on his team sing Bad Name. I just watched it and thought the battle was pretty good... probably more exciting (I didn't say better) than the band doing Bad Name at this point because it was fresh. The full episode is available on nbc.com

Yeah not a bad performance! I liked the big vocals/yelling.

I don't watch The Voice, but just watched that performance. Glad I don't watch the show.

LOVE this show..to be quite honest, wasn't big on Adam Levine at all until I watched him on this show. Also love Blake Shelton!

I missed this battle though.

God, seeing this reminded me in the first place why Bon Jovi were described as POP METAL.
Bad Name is such a POP song, yet it rocks (or used to) SO HARD that the roof falls down. Everything, the riff, the lyrics, the solo. BAD ASS.

I watch the Voice on and off, but i never get too attached to anyone to really care. I love Adam though, and Maroon Five's Songs About Jane is an absolutely fantastic pop/rock record.

I really don't get why people can even like this performance. What a dreadful performance of Bad Name. As if the song is part of a musical that's being played on broadway. Way too 'poetic' singing and not as solid as it should be sung. The yelling to compensate instability at the higher regions and to make the song sound more tough while it's boring as hell to listen to or even watch it.

Verdict: Absolutely rubbish!

I salute you,
TS

Don't like that performance at all, overdone is about the only word that comes to mind when I see that. On a side note, Christina Aguilera has big boobs now. And I completely forgot Carson Daly even existed until I saw the beginning of that vid...
