Heh.
#Beatles50 was all the buzz on Twitter Sunday night as CBS aired a fantastic tribute for the fifty year anniversary of the iconic band’s appearance on “The Ed Sullivan Show.”

I hope current bands learned a something tonight. 50 years later, and in their 70s, @thebeatles played live & without autotune. #Beatles50

Well, it looks like Maroon 5 and Adam Levine did not learn that lesson yet.
Beatles 50 Year Tribute > Olympics. Except the parts where adam levine is running amateur hour as he mangles the vocals

Laura Ingraham zinged the singer with a probing question:
Is there any reason that no one helped @AdamLevine with the harmonies during the Beatles #CBS Special opening? #AllMyLovin
— Laura Ingraham (@IngrahamAngle) February 10, 2014
Seriously! Others noticed that as well.

Why not just let Foo Fighters do all the songs tonight on #Beatles50 becasue it is criminal that Maroon 5 had two songs. CRIMINAL

Dear Adam Levine, if you're singing Beatles tunes, find some mates to harmonize with you #Beatlescanharmonize
— Hector Gerardo (@Hex_27) February 10, 2014
Adam Levine you are a legit singer but Maroon 5 has no where near the capabilities of doing Beatles harmonies.
— John Kupec (@KingKoop8) February 10, 2014
Ohh Adam Levine not sounding too good on Ticket to Ride. Add some harmonies dude.. ouch

Adam Levine singing Beatles songs is worse than how I felt watching 12 Years a Slave #Beatles

Ouch!
And an exit answer to Laura Ingraham’s question:
