Damien and Adam Levine sing 'Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me' (VIDEO)
Damien and Adam Levine sang 'Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me' by Elton John on The Voice Season 7 Finals on Monday, December 15, 2014 for Team Adam Levine.
In his video message, Adam talks about how eager he is to sing "Don't Let the Sun Go Down On Me" with Damien, since it's one of his favorite songs, and one of the deepest, most emotional songs ever written. Adam then tells Damien he deserves all the success he's had. "I love you," he says, in a sweet little moment that doesn't sound forced at all. His genuine nature is one of the things I find so endearing about Adam. Actually, all of the coaches feel endearingly genuine in a way the judges on some other singing competitions don't. I think it's part of why the show has been such a success. But I digress. (And rhyme)
Damien outsang Adam! I mean, I'm sure there aren't a lot of people who will be surprised by that, but I'm a pretty big fan of Adam's voice, and dude just got eclipsed by Damien here. This was a majestic performance, although I could have done without all the crazy, symphonic volume. It all seemed like a bit much, to where it felt like these guys were being swallowed by the band. I wish this had been a more low-key arrangement, but I understand that was never going to happen with this song. At least what we got lived up to its potential.
But what do you think of Damien and Adam Levine?
