Hey, guys! Welcome back again to Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy, where the PROOF is
in the SINGING! I wanted to go ahead and do a vocal
coach reacts to the Halftime Super Bowl show. Obviously the band is Maroon 5 and
the singer is Adam Levine. We all know him as the mega vocal coach on The Voice.
So let's see how he fared at the Super Bowl. Let's check it out. Here we go.
Ooh! A bit pitchy!
Ah. Okay, so it's kind of interesting, you know. We're at the Super Bowl and
you're kind of picking one of your songs, it's like a rap piece? And it's in
a real low-key so I don't know if you needed to sing low that night, or what?
Interesting. Rapping was okay, and I said, got a little pitchy there. But I'm not
hearing any "tiger in his tank." I'm not hearing any fire come out of him. Now, I'm
not looking to get on the "Hate Adam Levine Train," because I think that's
uncool. But I do want to point out some technical aspects. I mean, this is the
Super Bowl, and he should be he's a Megastar, and he's got a lot of very,
you know, elaborate records out, with a lot of production, if you know what I
mean? And for crying out loud, he's, you know, one of the mega coaches for The
Voice. So I would think, you know, we should be doing something a little bit
more than that, personally. So let's continue. Here we go.
That's a little pitchy, again.
I like his tone.
Whoooo! A little pitchy, again.
I love this song!
Okay. So again, there's no Tiger in his tank. Now it could be he might just be
out of breath because he's really excited singing for, singing at the
Super Bowl that could be one issue. But I'm not hearing it. See everything's
coming from his throat, and it's real wimpy and real anemic, and just, I don't know,
real... I don't know. There's not any energy to it. It's kind of weird. By the
way, I actually did a version of this song. I'll post it in the description tag.
I love the song, "This Love." So check out my version of it. See how I stacked up to
this. But right now, man, this is not Super Bowl worthy, if you ask me. It's not you
know, let's ask this question another way: If you were a vocal coach on The Voice
would you turn your chair to push that button? I don't think so.
Let's continue. And I'm not, this isn't a "diss on Adam." I'm just - gotta call a spade
a spade, and see what's going on here. Here we go.
See: Whisper goodbye, she got on a plane, never to return again, always in my heart.
I want a "YEAH!" I want to hear like, some "rrrrrrrrrrr!" in
this and, I mean, he's going "she whispered goodbye, she got on a plane, never to
return again." You know, he's going and he's even ducking notes he's going
down and it's a really low song for him. Like I said, try to sing sugar. It's a
pretty high tune. And then sing this. It's actually a lot easier. So maybe he
picked these songs. I don't know. He's singing live! He's not singing to
tracks. I give him that. But... YIKES! Here we go!
Whoo! Pitchy!
Ooh!
See how weak that sounds?
Give me some "UUUH!"
I want to hear some...
Okay. Like I said, I'm not I'm not one of these guys that just is trying to find
fault with things, but for crying out loud guys! This is the HALFTIME SHOW!
This is like the PINNACLE of like what greatness should be, and at the top of
your game, and crazy energy... I remember seeing Bruno Mars, and I was like >pop< ssssssssssssssssssss
Dang! You know? And I'm like Dude you rock! That was killer! And I've seen a lot of
really great shows. Like I said, you know, I wonder if like Whitesnake was
out here and doing this? I mean, you know, doing "Here I Go Again" or doing
Slide It In, or some Whitesnake song. They would own planet Earth. They would
be huge. They'd be taking over the audience. And right now, this is just kind
of like real pritzy, and real small, and real... You know, I don't know. There's no meat in
it for you. So, again. I'm not a hater. It's just what I'm seeing here. So here
we go
So far, I'm giving it two thumbs down, guys. Sorry.
If you're an Adam Levine fan or Maroon 5 fan, and I'm a Maroon 5 fan. But I'm not a
fan of this performance. Sorry. Let's continue, here. And we've got this little
animation stuff going on. Let's see what happens here.
Does that mean - that this might be the end of his performance, so give me a
second, because I think we've got the other performers coming up here.
Okay, so anyway, I mean look. I want to give it as much of a, you know, kudos that I can
there's just not much I can find in it there was a couple little lines. You know... Yeah, Yeah...
You know some tone stuff that he had, but there was just no energy, no
tiger in his tank. There was no voice there. Like I said. Would you turn around
your chair if you were a judge in The Voice and he came out? I really don't
think so. Anyway guys! Thank you for joining me! Ken Tamplin Vocal Academy
