It only takes one viewing of The Voice, one recap or just one glance at the press photos to sense the " hate-flirting" as one commenter put it. Both sound less like relationships than hostage situations, all about negotiating control and who's doing the one-sided seducing at any given point.But "Moves" adds another layer, one that exploits the slightly sleazy sexual tension between the two that The Voice hinted at roughly twice an episode. Both got their frisson, if you think they've got frisson, by staging miniature battles of the genders. The second thing to know is that "Moves Like Jagger" is a spiritual sequel to " Give a Little More," the "Misery" follow-up and near-hit. The first thing to know about "Moves," written by Levine with assists by Benjamin Levin, Ammar Malik and Shellback, is easy enough to guess: Adam has the moves like Jagger, and Christina crumples at the sight. Adam and Christina's personalities bolstered the show, and they bolster the otherwise lightweight "Moves Like Jagger." People want to hear them fight and flirt. Nor did the prospect of a coach pairing alone Cee Lo and Xtina's " Nasty, recorded pre- Voice anyway, didn't have nearly the same push.
1 Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.)," now with a hangover of about 18 chart spots. Their song's got as much swagger as any given song this decade despite "swagger" never appearing in the lyrics, Maroon 5 are much better when they're trying disco and not funk, and Christina can still sing, but none of those alone or combined took "Moves Like Jagger" past former No. Adam Levine and Christina Aguilera did, and fortunately for them, becoming the show's breakout stars provided an opening to plausibly crack the charts again. Coaches Cee Lo Green and Blake Shelton were on the rise before the show and didn't much need the boost. Then came The Voice, NBC's search for a star singer that so far has been more helpful to its search party. 1 track, and more like two shipwrecked people clinging to one another in a desperate attempt to stave off the inevitable. Half a year ago, a collaboration between the two would have seemed less like an event, let alone a potential No.
Christina Aguilera, meanwhile, was lucky to have a career trajectory after her Bionic bomb and subsequent tabloid oops. Radio granted Hands All Over's lead single " Misery" little company, making Maroon 5's career trajectory resemble even more the downward half of a roller coaster, a few consolation bumps the only highlight until the end of the ride.
Oh."Moves Like Jagger" should not logically exist.
