Adam Levine Calls Paul McCartney “A Beautiful Soul” After They Had This Misunderstanding

And it’s not like nerves weren’t there, because Maroon 5 knew ahead of time that they would be performing these covers with McCartney and Starr in the audience, so yeah it was a “no pressure” moment.

Per CBS, “Love Island” begins as a group of single “Islanders” come together in a stunning villa in Fiji, ready to embark on a summer of love, friendships and ultimately, relationships.

Islanders are on the lookout for romance, but the road to love doesn’t always run smoothly. Challenges abound with new Islander arrivals and dramatic twists as friendships and relationships form. In addition to choosing their partners wisely, Islanders must also win the hearts of viewers,...

Maroon 5 and Jimmy Fallon pulled a fast one on a bunch of New York City subway riders.

Adam Levine, guitarist James Valentine and the Tonight Show disguised themselves as bearded buskers, sporting hats and dark glasses to hide their famous faces.

The trio took to the subway station just below Rockefeller Center with tambourines, a guitar and a pair of microphones. They performed Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” with Levine, 38, disguising his voice by putting on a deeper tone.

Naturally, a sizeable crowd formed around the trio and many took out their cell phones to record the performers.

Adam Levine is known for his signature voice, but he still managed to fool a few local New Yorkers by going in disguise recently. During The Tonight Show on Tuesday, the Maroon 5 singer and his bandmate, James Valentine, joined host Jimmy Fallon as they put on fake beards and gave an impromptu concert in the subway station. While they managed to get an impressive crowd with their cover of "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," fans really started storming when they started singing their hit, "Sugar." Watch it all unfold above.

Maroon 5 and Jimmy Fallon disguised themselves as bearded buskers and hit the New York City subways in a charming Tonight Show web video. Singer Adam Levine and guitarist James Valentine performed acoustic renditions of the group's 2014 hit "Sugar" and Queen's 1979 hit "Crazy Little Thing Called Love," with the late-night host assisting on tambourine.

During the Queen cover, most people walked by the performance disinterested – and totally oblivious to the musicians' true identities. (It also helped that Levine also masked his signature vocal style with a huskier, heavier tone.

Hundreds of musicians perform in the NYC subways every day, but not all of them are Maroon 5! Adam Levine and his bandmate James Valentine had some fun with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday’s “Tonight Show.” The artists joined the host at the 50th Street/Rockefeller Center subway station where they wore long beards, shades, and hats […]...

Hundreds of musicians perform in the NYC subways every day, but not all of them are Maroon 5! Adam Levine and his bandmate James Valentine had some fun with Jimmy Fallon on Tuesday’s Tonight Show.

The artists joined the host at the 50th Street/Rockefeller Center subway station where they wore long beards, shades, and hats as a disguise.

They then started busking in the underground station, as Levine, 38, sang along to Queen’s “Crazy Little Thing Called Love.”

The group attracted a crowd, but when they took off their disguises the audience went wild as Levine broke into Maroon 5’s hit “Sugar.”

Levine isn’t the first Voice coach to participate in Fallon’s sketch. Back in June, Miley Cyrus performed in the same subway station with Fallon, singing her godmother Dolly Parton’s tune “Jolene.”

Just as he's about to rip the beautiful Jennifer's tightly bound body to shreds with a knife, hunky young Nikolai tries to tell her why. Nikolai is the lead singer of an indie band called Low Shoulder. They're desperate to make it big — to be the next Maroon 5! But the world is awash in indie bands, so it's hard. "There are so many of us," he says, "and we're all so cute. ... Satan is our only hope." In the group's quest for diabolic new management, Nikolai has downloaded a Satanic ritual off the Internet. All that's required is a virgin sacrifice. Unfortunately, he's picked the wrong girl: Jennifer's days of sexual innocence are far behind her. ("I'm not even a backdoor virgin," she later admits.) So the ritual goes seriously wrong.
