I really like this version. It's not energetic like John Lennon's or Celine Dion's, but it's sang more like a ballad.

I believe it was last year (but there's a rumor that this is being released as a single this year). It's really hot! |

Not bad, but I do have one complaint: in order to properly respect the original, they should have waited until the Iraq war was over to release this.

I highly doubt they'll still be cool in 2010.

Oh I think they will be.  Great song, great cover. I really wish they'd release the song on iTunes so I could buy it. |

Me, too, strong.
Haven't heard Maroon 5's version yet, but the original song is OK. Sarah McLachlan (sp?) did a great rendition of it on the NBC Tree Lighting show earlier this week, and it's on her album "Wintersong."
The song itself has some of the cheapest, most formulaic, Hallmark-esque rhyme couplets I've ever heard from an otherwise good songwriter (John Lennon), but it's kind of like a lot of songs we learn as children, which we love because they're easy to sing, the lyrics are easy to remember (because the rhymes are so clichéd and predictable), and they're so familiar. So it'll be interesting to hear Maroon 5's version. Sometimes the arrangement and instrumentation can make the song work.
