I've been playing D'Angelo's two albums, 'Brown Sugar' and 'Voodoo' (so sad his discography is short af!) so I approached this with ears that bear a lot of bias towards D. It was not as smooth and enticing as the original because there were two voices involved. Covers aren't meant to outdo the original. It all depends on how the singer interprets the song. I will say that Usher really showed Adam up and it wasn't until the end that he held his own with that falsetto thing they were doing. I'm impressed with how Usher's voice and vocal skills have improved with age (his falsetto>>>>). He's no powerhouse but he can definitely sing. Plus, what's up with this blond dye job Mr. Levine?! He looks old and like Draco Malfoy, lmao!
