There's something about a lead singer that drives the ladies wild, even if the man is hideous. Someone like Seal, or even Lyle Lovett, who looks like an ill-fitting skin glove pulled over a hat rack, has more access to poozle than any of us could dream of. We don't begrudge them; we actually are die-hard supporters of people managing to pork out of their station. Yet, some artists seem to have convinced themselves that their popularity with the ladies is because they're love gods, and not because of their fame and piles of money. Adam Levine (of Maroon 5)
In "Makes Me Wonder," the first single from It Won't Be Soon Before Long, Adam asserts that his sexual prowess is so palpable that even a simple airport security procedure results in a violation of his person (about two minutes in).
He wants the viewer to know it would require at least three agents to examine him because the sheer power of his attractiveness would cause all of the instrumentation to suddenly read "Warning: Libidinous Demigod Is About To Rock Your World." Unless standard weapons searches now include a "happy ending," this is an experience unique to Adam.
Why he's mistaken:
Levine seems utterly convinced of his appeal, as if someone once pulled him aside and told him, "You know what chicks are into? Falsettos and anemia." He also spends an inordinate amount of time staring coldly at the camera, as if he has Rohypnol Vision as a superpower. He's going for "intensity," but winds up with "Crazy Guy on the Bus Who Won't Stop Staring at You."
We do have to give Adam credit, though. He has carefully selected band members exponentially less hotter than he is, in an overt attempt to make himself look better by comparison.
It's easy to dislike Usher for being a pale imitator of an old-school Michael Jackson, but it seems these days that his impression is actually more compelling than the originator. However, we're pretty sure Michael never purported to be a sex symbol (at least not for anyone post-pubescence), which Usher happily cops to at every turn, as we see in the below video.
In "Yeah," he lets it be known that he can't find an idle moment to contemplate the horrors in Darfur because some random lingerie model is always trying to bed him. With all of these nymphomaniacal strumpets pawing at him, he barely has time to pout for the camera for tightly-cropped face shots or stroke his washboard abs. Won't they just leave the poor introvert alone?
Why he's mistaken:
We don't want to come down too hard on the man, we realize his cranium isn't his fault (and may be the product of a traumatic birthing procedure).
All we're saying is that if instead of an R&B star Usher was, say, working at the tech support call center at Verizon, he would not be surrounded by booty 24/7. He would be shoved into a corner so that passers-by would not see him and start screaming at the sight of his terrifying alien squash head.
"Now every time, every place, everywhere we go
While this may be true, we object to Jay-Z's assertion that all hoes use such deplorable grammar. We know a many good hoes whose command of the English language is beyond reproach. It continues ...
"You know I - thug 'em, fuck 'em, love 'em, leave 'em
Jay-Z is apparently quite the vivacious lover, as well as particularly brutal captor. From the sound of it, he could have any number of starving, well-dressed hoes locked up in his basement.
Why he's mistaken:
That would be fine to a degree if it was a particularly dashing head or if we were hydrocephalus fetishists, but it simply doesn't fly. We heard he had titanium shafts installed into his neck for the video shoot for his own safety and all hoes in proximity. We were searching for a comparison for his looks, but no mortal being came to mind. That's when we discovered that he is basically just an amply blinged Mr. Potato Head.

6 Musicians Who Predicted Their Own Death in Song
the side-by-side's were hilarious, especially Smalls/Schwarzennegger
Jay-Z doesn't look like Mr. Potato Head, he looks like a camel.
All true, all totally f*****g hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Usher once picked a fight with a friend of mine, than ran away rather quickly when my friend took him up on it. Said friend is in a wheelchair and has no arms.
Adam Levine is hot in a nerdy way, Kid Rock is hot in an ugly way, the others just creep me out
LMAO at Prince in the McDonald's uniform. SO TRUE.
Hilarious article. Loved it.
The former teacher in me would like you to look up the words juxtapose and rarefied, however, and submit their definitions for 5 points of extra credit back.
I could go for a Prince song with Adam Levine's face and Usher's body....
To understand any Prince lyric assume it is a metaphor for sex. 99% of the time you would be right.
As to Maroon 5. Harder to Breathe is the only good song they ever recorded.
[x]5-foot-2, except when wearing heels
[x] Wears eyeliner
[x] Wrote a song called "If I Was Your Girlfriend," probably while wearing heels
What? Some girls like Trannies... Prince is close enough to get me going.
Also. The guy from Maroon Five was always sort of sexy in a creepy "oh my god... you're going to put it in whether I want you to or not, aren't you?" sort of way.
lmfao total recall was like the best, ill never forget that face
dude, kid rock is such hot white trash.
You needed to add Lil' Wayne to this list, he is UGLY as all Hell and yet can't seem to stop rappin' about how much "poozle" he gets! Other than that, I thought I was the only one who noticed Usher's weird head. lol
Sorry, but I can NOT agree with you on Prince. He absolutely has to go in the Lyle Lovett category.
Lest we forget the classic Duran Duran lyric: I'm lost and I'm found. I smell like I sound - and I'm hungry like the wolf.'
Well, Simon, you sound like s**t...
Necro...no. David Bowie is hot sex even in that sparkly blue outfit from Labyrinth. Even with full Ziggy Stardust makeup.
But to mojo...yes. John Mayer is truly a frat boy rapist. So much. So creepy.
What about Lil Wayne?
He's an ugly m**********r and he's always talkin' 'bout his hoes.
I still think prince is hot. ;3 But hey, im allowed. And your article is quite succint and true. Well done.
George Clinton. Rick James. The Romulus and Remus of sexy.
