Not Exactly According to Plan

Normally it annoys me when people change the melody of a song live, but holy fuck, this is beautiful.

Everything about this is lovely. Jesse. I don't even care that this was his bad hair and scarf phase, because he is playing a piano. (I'm so fucking easy when pianos are involved.) So many hearts in my eyes. James. Oh my god, James' hair is spectacular (2:55 in particular.) Adam. That entire second verse. Plus, his snappy-dresser-IWBSBL phase was his best one.

LOL, James' socks and shoes. You can put him in a suit, but he's not a sellout, goddammit. Crossposted from Dreamwidth. The DW entry has comments.

I feel like maybe this is a weird thing to say, but that is probably the most attractive Jesse Carmichael has ever been and I cannot stop watching this goddamn gif.

I think it's the hair.

Yeah, it's definitely the hair.

James, get your ridiculous self out of the fucking way, I am looking at Jesse.



"Whatever it is you want me to do... I guess I'm doing it." And then they made out.

Not really. And then Mickey got up and bolted because he has an aversion to cameras and he'd already done his interview. He's like the anti-Adam. Crossposted from Dreamwidth. The DW entry has comments.

 You guys, never mind that The Voice is back, and never mind that Adam tweeted "love you pumpkin" at James last night, THIS HAPPENED.


James, halfway through all the fangirls freaking out in the comments on Instagram: "you sneaky bastard."  NO JAMES.  No, you're the sneaky bastard here, luring Jesse back into your house with pianos and new songs instead of watching Adam be on TV.

First up, Adam petting and kissing James during Thursday's show, because that's a perfectly reasonable way to introduce your guitar player. 





Next, band introductions on Friday. James is last, around the 7:00 mark.

So.  That's happening.

WATCH THIS. I guarantee it will make your life better.



0:12 Can we just take a moment to acknowledge that Matt's hair is seriously underrated? James gets all the hair love when really, Matt has the best hair in the band.
1:18  Normally I laugh when he does that with his sleeves.  I am not laughing this time.
3:04 Oh god. I can't even.

 So help me god, I have never 'shipped anything this hard in my entire life.  

Video here.  

I'm just going to go sit quietly in the corner with my feelings.

I am off on some kind of hardcore James Valentine kick this week. Sorry. I think I am compensating for the lack of Jesse by fixating on James.

Which, you know, is the same thing Adam is doing, so it seems to be a legitimate coping mechanism.

I feel like maybe I already posted some of these, but I didn't see them when I went back through my tag. Whatever, it's not like anyone is going to be hurt by admiring his hair while listening to him bitch about Adam again.

These won't embed, but are just full of awesome lines. Like:

"I come from a very conservative family."

"I guess I'm a bit more reserved than Adam."

"Adam loves to make people uncomfortable. That's one of his things."

OKAY. OKAY. Now all I want to do is write baby!Maroon 5 where poor Mormon Eagle Scout jazz band nerd James is scandalized every time Adam opens his mouth, which is exactly the sort of reaction Adam feeds off of, which makes him be even more inappropriate, which makes James even more horrified, and it just continues to escalate until, I don't know, they get high and sleep together, probably. I haven't thought through all the details, but I'm assuming that's how it always ends for Adam.

This one has what is still my favorite thing James has ever said about The Voice.

"So much of my life is listening to Adam’s opinions on things, that I didn’t need to tune in to hear that for entertainment."

Also, "It really highlights the best aspects of his personality." Oh, James. I love you.

 You know what I want?  I want woke up married Adam/James fic.  Where their stupid, impulsive, drunk marriage turns into a thing after Adam impulsively says something he shouldn't on camera, and then Adam stubbornly refuses to end the marriage because now he's making a point, because it's perfectly reasonable that he would marry his guitar player, and James is just exasperated by the whole thing.  Until he isn't.
